My dd (10) is literally obsessed with the tv it’s all she wants to do, on Saturday’s my dh works until 12, my dd had been up since 8 just watching tv so I turned it off when he got home she didn’t object (she knows I’m in charge) but all she did was whinge at me all day until 6 when I let her put it back on. Then she asked me if my mum was so mean and didn’t let me watch tv or be on my ipad when I was younger, she was horrified when I told her I didn’t have an iPad and asked me what the hell I did all day! I’m 30 born in 87, when I was born there were only 3 or 4 channels on tv (my god I feel old) obviously there were a lot more added in the 90’s but I don’t think I watched it much maybe the hour of cbbc that was on 4:30 - 5:30 but that was it, we didn’t have a computer until I was 12 but I wasn’t really interested in that either, even now I only watch in the evenings. I did get an iPad in 2011 when it came out but only because everyone else had one I try not to use it too much in front of dd. When I was younger I used to draw, knit, play out with friends, help my mum with the cooking. Anyway I guess what I’m asking is how much tv do you let your kids watch? What do you do with them (dd doesn’t want to do anything I suggest)?
