Limits

Old school.

Starting today the Mrs. and I put our son on television restriction.
On the weekdays he gets three hours, and on the weekends he will get four hours a day.
I grew up hooked on television.
OK, I grew up addicted to television.
The worst punishment my parents could hand out was to take away my TV privileges.
I remember one time in school when I got bad grades-they told me no TV until the next quarter.
I thought it was the end of the world.
Our son was watching too much TV, and I wanted to nip the problem before it started.
So far on the first day he seemed pretty OK with it.
The weekend might be tougher so we'll see what happens.
I also turned off the TV when it was his turn to stop.
It's nice to set a good example for the boy.
