We haven’t had cable or really TV for about three years.
We really hit some hard times, one night our cable TV got shut off when we didn’t pay the bill. The first night it was horrible. What were we going to do?
This is what we started to do: family nights.
We played games, board games, card games, video games, whatever. We had movie night where we’d pick a DVD and have popcorn. We would have reading night. Sometimes we’d all do different things and have our personal downtime.
On the most part, we engaged with each other more. A good thing!
Three years later, we still don’t pay for any cable and we don’t need it. And believe me, I can’t really say we’re bored with no TV. If anything, we’re more busy with soccer, school and everything else. Today I learned of a website where you can watch some of your favorite movies and TV shows at your computer….if you need to.
