My kids have this beyond annoying habit of being incredibly active for hours at a time and then suddenly walking through the door and becoming TV zombies. I have signed them up for every activity, every camp, every sport they can partake in just to prevent them from morphing into frozen brained creatures!
I know the "simple" solution seems like turning the TV off...however it is not. My politely asking for the TV to be turned off results in screaming, yelling and then tears, all which are mostly from me. Have you ever tried to reason with a zombie? There is no reasoning with empty!
My kids are only even home for a couple hours per day. They run around as soon as they walk through the door completing all of their chores and then simultaneously jump on the couch and zone out into some atrocious show about dance offs, or kids that live on a cruise ship...which btw where are these kids parents? Why does icarly live with her brother? Who is a complete idiot? Why are kids on a cruise ship with a weird British man who obviously hates children? What are the cable networks trying to infringe upon our children? Who writes these shows and why are they allowed to?
I digress...TV is for me. TV is my only, repeat only, escape during summer. I get to zone out while watching grown woman throw drinks in each others faces. I cannot have this disdain against my baby, my first love, my toshiba!
