I let my son watch TV, probably too much, but it would be hypocritical for me to ban something that my husband and I enjoy every evening.  We are TV junkies and unfortunately our kids probably will be, too.  The good news: I finished a book yesterday and hope that I’m able to also influence my kids to love books by reading to them and letting them see me reading sometimes.  Like the “Facts of Life” states, “you take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have…”  (Hey, was that a TV reference?)
