When our daughters were teens, they told us they didn't
want TV, and if we got one they were going to move out of the house. I
doubt if they would have done that, but it was an interesting commentary on
their interests. They rode their horses all over the place, hiked, read,
did homework, and for entertainment we played Scrabble, cards, and other family
games. The girls got into endurance riding when the eldest was 16 and the
youngest was 12.
My SIL and Brother raised thier kids with NO TV in the house. It was
one of the things they agreed upon when they started talking about getting
married and raising childeren. My Brother was killed in a car accident
about 5-6 years ago and my SIL has since remarried and still they have no tv
in the house. My nephews are 14 and 16 and are very well read and versed
in current events.
I would rather not have tv in my household. When I got divorced from
hubby #1, he kept the tv which was fine with me and I lived without one for
awhile. At least till hubby #2 came along. I am an avid reader and
he has long since grown tired of me telling him, the book was better than the
movie LOL.
Joy of Joys, my 2 and half year old daugter, just started saying, "Read
Mommy, READ" as she tries to put a book in my hand.
And to keep this horse related, she also says "Ride Jerry Ride" (my black
Arab gelding). Somehow, I don't think it will be much longer and she
will be ready to hit the trails w/mommy.
