Do your kids watch tv? Don’t lie and say no, how else would you have time to read compelling journalism like this or use the bathroom? Admit it, you use the electronic babysitter. I do and I don’t apologize for it. My kids have learned a foreign language thanks to the tv! They can cook! They are up to date on news of the world and the best cleaners for stubborn, greasy stains! All those people who say their kids don’t watch tv either have a nanny or a really messy house or a huge bladder. Now, don’t misunderstand. I enjoy spending time with my kids and doing things with them. We’ve had a lot of fun this summer going new places and doing lots of projects. The older they get, the more fun they are. But, sometimes, just sometimes, I need a break. A little “momtime” if you will. And so, I turn the tv on. And I turn myself off.
