© Hallgerd | Dreamstime.com I suppose the average person would think me a bit odd. Or even extreme, as a parent. You see, I don't allow T.V. during the week. On weekends, we might, just might watch a DVD if the weather is lousy, or we've had an exhausting weekend not spent watching T.V. the rest of the time.
