S/o phones - tv in your bedroom?

[sterl724]

The cell phone post surprised me a little with how many people have phones in the bedroom. Which made me wonder how many people have a tv in their bedroom.

So do you have a tv in your bedroom?

[luckyval]

We do, but rarely use it

Good for sick days and when I'm "folding laundry" to escape Team Umizoomi and watch Drag Race instead

No.

[alm0nd88]

We do, but it isn't on often. Sometimes I watch TV on it in the afternoon, but we never use it in the evenings.

[flex]

I do not. In fact, DH insisted on it, and I was good with it.

This is us, exactly.  It's hidden in a nice armoire and pretty much the only time we use it is when we're folding laundry and have sports on.

[cabbagecabbage]

Ours, yes. The kid's, no way.

[christy082]

Nope

I insisted we not have a tv in the bedroom.

[marylennox]

No. Never had, and always swore I never would. I think I would consider having one now, but we won't be buying another TV anytime soon, so it doesn't matter anyway.

[lilafowler]

Yes, but it's also my "office" (bedroffice) since I WFH. I like to have the TV on the news in the background so I don't get lonely. I don't watch it in there at other times though.

[kellykapowski]

I do, and I can't sleep unless it's on. So healthy.

It's the very reason I insist our kids will NEVER have TVs in their rooms. I blame my parents.

[jenna]

No. Just in the family room and one in the basement.

No. I read an article a long time ago that people with TVs in the bedroom have less sex. Since we don't have much sex to begin with, I don't want to take a chance by putting a tv in there and have even less.

[mlt]

No. MH would have it on all the time and I would never sleep. If we really need to watch something in bed we use the iPad.

[CloudBee]

Nope, and we probably never will. We have never been the type to watch TV in bed unless we're on vacation.

[Kit]

No, but I want one. The cable hookup in there is weird and it might be a pain in the ass, which is why we haven't done it yet.

[crispnclean]

In our bedroom, yes. I don't want DS to have a TV in his room for a very long time - like high school.

[sewf]

No, but we have Amazon Prime and Netflix on our ipads. I hardly ever use the ipad for tv before bed. H comes to bed later than I do, and he uses netflix to fall asleep. This is a complete role reversal from when we got together. Lol!

[Deleted]

Yes, but we don't use it often. Honestly, I only have it because my XH didn't want to take it (I'm guessing he wanted an upgrade) when we split and I didn't know what else to do with it. I'd say it gets used a couple of times a month.

Actually, it's the only TV that gets certain stations (we don't have cable) so during TV season we do use it a little more frequently for that reason. But we rarely watch TV at night while getting ready to sleep.

[LeggsBenedict]

no, because I would never get out of bed.

although now that it's hot and we have a/c only in the bedroom, we watch netflix on the laptop. it's bad. I never get out of bed.

I've heard that fact before - part of the reason we took ours out of the bedroom as well.

[Yankees21]

Yes. We watch a show together in bed and then put the sleep timer on the TV and fall asleep with it on.

[rosiebear]

Oh god, my H will NOT shut up about "proper sleep hygiene" so, no TV in the bedroom.

[liverandonions]

No. My MIL said your room should only be for sleeping or sex lol. We used to, but we're cheap so we just have the one Family room TV and I use the iPad to watch my shows in bed if I want to escape my husband's shows.

[brighton]

Yes. I like to watch the news when I'm getting ready in the morning.

[specialk]

Yes. I don't use it much. It's big and our room is really narrow so it's like a foot away from the end of our bed.

[snshne322]

We do, but don't use it often. Mostly for lazy weekend mornings and for time I spend in there cleaning up.

[BaliHai]

Yes, but it's rarely on. It's great for when one of us is sick or having a lazy day off, though.

I am hoping to never have TVs in our children's bedrooms.

[spwspw]

I think we're the rare household that only has one TV. And not because we're opposed to TV (best babysitter ever), but just because we haven't gotten around to buying any more TVs for other rooms of the house.
