Twins Without Television: Week 4, Day 5

Alright....TGIF!!!

This is the last day I will be writing about my twins without watching television for a month. I am very proud of my twins for not watching television. There is just so much yuck on television these days, I really do not want them putting that junk in front of their eyes and ears. The television industry is just wicked and the things they are putting in front our children's eyes and ears is horrible, to put in nicely. Even if you do not believe in the things I believe about what is intentionally being put into our children's eyes and ears, it is a shame you do not.

I would love to tell you what I have learned and believe, but you would think I have lost my marble's. The commercials are just as bad, if not worse, than the television shows. Even if you think they are cute, no, there is nothing cute about them. Hidden messages are in every single show and commercial that come from that box in your bedroom, family room or living room.

There are two heavy hitter channel networks, for kids, that really lay it on right in plain sight, if only you are willing to look for the signs.

Anyway, I am just happy my twins are not watching television during the school week. This weekend, they probably only watched 5 hours at most. I am hoping my twins not watching television during the week is really rubbing off on them on the weekend and they will see what a waste of time television is for them.

Alright, so I will begin a new writing series Monday. This will be something just as bad, if not worse, than television and one I find very hard to break myself.

Ciao!

Twins Without Television: Week 2, Day 3

Oh yeah, twins have made it over the HUMP without any television viewing. It certainly is nice having my twins come in the backdoor and not hearing them say they want to watch TV. The best thing about not watching television is, my twins brains are not being filled with nonsense. Nonsense would be things that are disrespectful to parents.

Like I wrote about last week, these shows on television today are written where the kids are "ruling" over the parents. These kids in the television shows, popular name kids channels of course, have their writers writing all these lines for some of the actors ages 5-18, maybe, totally backtalking to their television parents.

Now, I am not sure if the shows I used to watch in the 1970s, 1980s and even early 1990s, had kids in the television shows talking like these kids on television do today. Tell me, how is this a good thing for our children and our society when children are no longer respecting their parents?

Yeah, not good at all.

Aside from the disrespectful speech in these "kids" television shows, television drains the brains. I came to this conclusion, well.....last June. I figure, if I can do this, stop watching television, so to can my twins, right?

I was just talking to hubby about this last night.

I said, "Well kids in the early 1900s did not watch television and they did alright."
Then is says, "Were you there?"
"Of course not", I said and "It was probably the best thing that could have happened to those kids back then."

So, this is where I will end today on.....TWINS.....Without Television: Week 2, Day 2
