Finally, Gramma bought us a TV - seems the girls had been driving her nuts by going next door to "visit Gramma", but it was really to watch her TV. She just couldn't say "no"! So much for that idea. By the way, a relaxing/inspiritional idea for your PC is one of the LDS historic sites (mostly the eastern sites) screen savers at www.ldsebooks.biz. <em><strong>I think Gramma's are entitled to spoil their grandkids. :)</strong></em> After cutting way back on TV time, we did without TV for a year while our 5 girls were growing up.

I think Gramma’s are entitled to spoil their grandkids. :)

That's why my wife cancelled our cable, which means I can't watch my home improvement shows anymore. <em><strong>Catch 22 eh?</strong></em> Our oldest daughter use to watch too much TV.

My husband is not thrilled with TV for our youngest (Miss A is 2 1/2.) Now Miss C will occupy her time with art, imaginative play, etc., but my youngest is addicted to Dora and Diego! Sigh... Like you, we don't watch many shows (hey we just added Bionic Woman to our Tivo shows, too!) I've actually thought we would be fine with no TV, too, but we do a pretty good job of limiting it for us. If I can just limit Miss A's time! Generally we don't ever watch "our" shows (like House or CSI) in front of the girls, either. Lately I've actually had these thoughts about, dare I admit it, blogging! I took a little break this weekend and last weekend and really enjoyed it! :) <em><strong>I know what you mean...finding balance is so essential in everything we do. Today we tried to let the TV have a nap (with the kids home all day for fall break that was beyond challenging) and my little guy had a complete meltdown begging for TV for about an hour this afternoon!</strong></em> Holly, this hits home for me a lot!

But my kid(s) are older. I think the forty something "boy" would struggle the most, with his love of all things baseball. *sigh* You're right, though. Grissom definitely wouldn't miss *me*.... That's a tough decision to make and I certainly do not envy you! <em><strong>Me neither, it's a tough thing to consider.</strong></em> I’d have a mutiny on my hands if I suggested that idea!

Me neither, it’s a tough thing to consider.
