not at the same time, of course.
ok so the second part is a lie.
but not the first. *gasp*
and i'm sure there are people out there who would rather have me condone the first.
but there are days when i need to take a shower. or eat. or have 10 minutes of quiet so that i don't have to lock myself in the basement.
so riley gets to watch tv.
not all day.
and he doesn't sit for more than 45 seconds. so he probably only watches in 45 second intervals anyway. (he gets his attention span from me).
we don't eat junk food in our house.
we don't have the tv on during family time or dinner.
we play board games and read books. a lot.
but sometimes tv is a necessary evil.
because mommy needs to maintain some sanity.
i know mommies that don't allow any tv.
or don't have a tv. (we don't have cable).
riley is a smart kid (yes, i like to toot my own horn. i like to think i have had some part in that).
he is a smart kid who watches tv sometimes.
sometimes, tho, i wonder why they advertise the ab circle pro on kids channels. when my kid shouts from the other room "hey mom. maybe you should get the ab circle pro" i am forced to reevaluate my life. and cry myself to sleep. during the day.

Don't stress about it. There are so many worse parenting faux pas you could be making than letting them watch some TV. They're kids. If I was five, I'd want a little break from the world once in awhile. And I was raised in front of the TV and I turned out just fine-relatively:) You're a good mom, and that is the most important thing.
