I don't want a TV at home-anyone else?

Oh I like the tv holiday idea. I would do it except we're still with my parents, and the tv disappearing wouldn't go down well with them lol. Maybe we can not have a tv for the first few months of living on our own once we move out and I'll see how it goes.

I don't like the kids watching TV but find that it's a necessary evil sometimes. DD1 in particular was really hard to occupy when she was younger. Some days I would find myself setting up activity after activity only for her to spend 5 mins max at each one when I really needed a good 15 mins here and there to cook, clean, wash. So the TV went on so I could get stuff done.

DD2 is much better at entertaining herself if I'm doing housework and some days she doesn't watch TV at all.

Personally, I'd be more confident about going TV-free when my girls are a bit older. ATM, I kind of need that security blanket.
