And only one TV.
Sammy, my 42' Plasma that I've had since way back when such things were really expensive, certainly gets a lot of attention, and sometimes this can lead to problems.
I come home from work expecting to have some de-stress time blowing up Zombies/winning the Stanley Cup/ being Batman, and my Wife is catching up on watching her mind-bogglingly inane reality shows?
Problem.
There's a really sweet documentary coming on and it's the same time we promised the Boys they could watch Rio or some other kids
Problem.
I want to stream a movie on the Xbox and the Wife is playing Super Mario Bros Wii instead?
Problem.
We work through most of these issues with compromise and because I am the Greatest Husband/Father Ever, but it can be a pain in the ass. Sure, we could solve this particular dilemma by just getting another TV, but these same type of conflicts pop up even on other devices like laptops, computers and even phones. (As I type this now, the oldest Boy just asked if he could go on Club Penguin at least 3 times.) and there is no way in hell that I'm hooking everyone in the family up with their own digital paradise.
It always seems that whatever it is that I want to do, there is always someone else using the device that I want.
I think we need to get outside more.
Or maybe I should just send them outside, and that way I can enjoy myself.
Later.
