So Aiden just yelled out from the bathroom to me, “Mooooooom! I really want a TV in my room!”
First of all, WHY are you yelling this to me as you are in the bathroom? Where did this come from? That was very random. Second of all, I don’t believe in children having TVs in their room, so it’s just not going to happen. No offense to anyone who lets their kids have a TV in their bedroom, but it’s just not me. My kids watch too much TV as it is, and if they had a TV in their room, they’d never even get out of bed. It would be wake up, turn on the TV, sit their like zombies all day, go to sleep. It would be like that every single day. Except for when they want to play video games.
I’m probably not setting a very good example as Ches and I have a TV in our room. But we don’t have the cable hooked up in there. Just the XBox, so we can play games or we can watch a movie. I’m guessing the kids just see a TV in our room and wonder why they can’t have one in theirs. I’ll just tell them my stock answer for cases like this: When you are all grown up and have a place of your own, you can have a TV in your bedroom. You can have your house however you like it. But it’s not going to happen while you are still a kid and living in my house.
I hope he doesn’t ask for his own computer anytime soon (in the next 15 years!!). That one will be a little harder to say no to!
