QOTD 11/11
Do you have a tv in your bedroom? Will/do you allow on in your kids room?

Re: QOTD 11/11
We do not have a TV in our bedroom. H is vehemently against having one in there. I could care less either way.
We will not put a TV in a kids room until they are at least teenagers. I feel the same way about computers. They will have supervised screen time.
We have a TV with DVR in our bedroom. We like to catch up on the shows we watch together in our room.
Yes on the TV in kids rooms once they are older. SD (9) has a TV in her room. It wasn't really a conscious decision because it was a guest room before DH and I got married. It hasn't been a problem. It actually rarely even gets turned on. Every now and then on the weekends, we'll let her watch TV when she goes to bed. Other than that, she spends most of her time in the family room with us. Never really plays in her room... just goes in there to get stuff to play with or sleep.
I didn't have a TV in my room until I was about 10. I would probably do the same with my kids, but still supervise what they're watching. Definitely no computer or video games in the kids' room though.
As far as our kids, no way. Not until they are way older. DH's nephews have them in their room and are addicted to the screen. We also won't be allowing video games without heavy restrictions on gaming time. DH's nephews are out of control obsessed with them.
Eta - I'd rather kids not have a TV either.
I don't know how I'd feel about putting one in my future kids' room. I had one for as long as I can remember. I don't feel that I abused having it and I was keeping active and not glued in front of it at all hours. But times could be different by the time I have kids.
