TV woes

First time with cable since we've had the boys. Comes automatically with the houses and includes a lot of Air Force news and commercials and some popular shows at strange hours. (Oprah comes on at 9am for example.)

The boys are not used to TV. They are only used to videos. So here is my new advice.

Do not tell your child that we will watch Mickey Mouse Club in fifteen minutes. They will not understand why you are not just pressing play. Trying to explain the concept of TV starting at predetermined times will also not work.

Much crying (times two) will ensue.

You've been warned.

That's nice that they provide you AFN for free though. We had to pay a small fortune for ours, and hardly ever use it. I think we turn it on twice a year for the Macy's Thanksgiving parade and the World Series. We do a lot of DVDs in our house too. For the few shows that we do want to watch my nerd husband has rigged up a Tivo of sorts. Ah, roughing it!
