I do enjoy on those rare Saturday mornings where we can both sleep in and have breakfast in bed while watching an old classic tv show or movie. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11476 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 10:43:02 +0000 duetletterpress 11476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we do but we never ever ever use it. not even sure why we have it in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11463 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 10:31:29 +0000 BabyBear 11463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do. I enjoy being able to watch tv to help me fall asleep when I am not working nights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11418 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 09:53:43 +0000 LazyLightning 11418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a TV in our bedroom, or even in our living room. Our TV is in our basement and it is only used for watching movies. Our take is that there are so many better/more important things to do with our time (in it or out) than to sit and watch TV....(we're just too busy). Later in life this will change--we don't have anything morally against tv--but we probably still won't have one in the bedroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11412 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 09:39:48 +0000 tessabella76 11412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do but we rarely watch it. It's usually only on if one of us can't sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11400 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 09:09:32 +0000 LaurenEC 11400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a TV in our room. We mostly just watch the news in the morning. Sometimes we watch movies at night. It was great when A was born because after all our company left, there was one weekend where we basically just stayed there watching TV and cuddling with our new baby and talking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11378 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 08:45:17 +0000 BananaPancakes 11378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and always will. We spend a lot of our time in the bedroom and actually watch most movies in there. And I can't imagine being sick and not being able to lay in bed watching terrible TV all day. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11372 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 08:32:00 +0000 mynoahbear 11372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we don't have a tv in our bedroom. I can't sleep with the tv on and hubby just doesn't care to have a tv in the bedroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11340 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 07:24:17 +0000 hreichard 11340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a TV in my bedroom. I honestly cant fall to sleep without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11328 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 03:44:15 +0000 SugarplumsMom 11328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vetoed against it! I want our bedroom to be associated with just sleeping. Though on occasion, I bring my laptop in there (usually on DH's request). For some reason he finds it soothing when I'm "doing something nerdy" while he sleeps ;D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11327 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 03:24:24 +0000 looch 11327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to have one, but then I found myself staying up late to watch Flavor of Love and I Love NY. I was exhausted come morning.</p> <p>In our bedroom now, we don't have a TV. DH is against it, but he does like the idea of having a master suite with a living area where we can watch a program after the kids go to bed, kind of like in a hotel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11186 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:54:42 +0000 L2sweetpea 11186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one. I have always had one to fall asleep to...that being said I will probably not have one in DD room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11151 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:25:48 +0000 Sunshine1810 11151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one. I have a really hard time falling asleep without background noise, and DH can fall asleep no matter what, so I usually set the sleep timer when we go to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11142 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:19:25 +0000 Maysprout 11142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no tv in the house but i do watch through the internet and just bring the computer into our room occasionally </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11140 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:18:15 +0000 MrsStormy 11140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we do, we don't use it much. I like it because I normally fold and put away laundry in that room and I like to have the tv on, plus DH loves sports and sometimes I want to just get away and watch my own shows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11135 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:16:08 +0000 Andrea 11135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we would probably have a TV in every room if we could! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11103 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:50:19 +0000 pelikila 11103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have one tv in the house. I will not allow a tv to be put in our room as it is for us to be together, not zone out and ignore each other - which I can see happening if we had one in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11100 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:47:42 +0000 BSB 11100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do. DH likes to have something on while he falls asleep. While usually I can fall asleep with it, sometimes I can't. I usually just wait til he falls asleep, so I can turn it off. I do have pet peeve about him forgeting to put the sleep timer on. I hate it when he forgets and I have to wake up in the middle of the night because one the DVD he is watching keep replaying the menu screen or he was watching TV and it's replaying infomecials. Ugh, so annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11088 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:38:50 +0000 alongfarview 11088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We had our 2nd tv in our bedroom in our last apartment only because there was no where else to put it and we both disliked it a lot and rarely even turned it on. Now that we have 2 bedrooms we both prefer it in the guest room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11076 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:34:22 +0000 Ree723 11076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't; DH is not a tv person at all and actually hates that I usually have the tv on in the family room. Our bedroom is strictly for winding down and bedroom activities - we don't even have a radio in there, which sort of kills me as I like to sleep with the radio on, but I can live without it easier than DH can live with it. </p> <p>At my parents' house, there is a tv in "my" bedroom and I hardly ever turn it on when I'm staying there. I'm just not a watch-tv-in-bed kind of girl I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11066 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:28:46 +0000 tequiero21 11066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we do, but mostly, my hubby watches it when he works out. we don't really watch it anymore. although the google tv is there. i didn't have one growing up so i don't think my kids need one either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11045 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:07:05 +0000 Mrs. D 11045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do, but no cable. We watch DVD's on it at night when we're just cuddling hours before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11043 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:06:03 +0000 Boogs 11043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do and I especially like falling asleep with it on the nights that the hubs works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11032 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 17:58:03 +0000 mediagirl 11032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do, unfortunately. I was always a "it must be silent" to fall asleep person until I met dh. He's a "must have noise" to fall asleep person. Struggle. We still struggle with this because I want it practically silent while he swears he has to hear what people are saying to fall asleep. I just don't get it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11023 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 17:50:39 +0000 .twist. 11023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do! We always throw a movie on before we pass out. We still find plenty of time to sleep and get busy! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11006 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 17:25:52 +0000 SAHM0811 11006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we do! it's so comfortable to watch tv in bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-11005 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 17:25:24 +0000 venice4504 11005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I like laying in bed all cozy and watching it. We also listen to the news in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-10999 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 17:19:42 +0000 keiki_mama 10999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, no tv in the bedroom. It distracts me from sleeping though DH often falls asleep in the living room with the TV on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-10995 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 17:16:06 +0000 junebugmama 10995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had a tv in the bedroom. I felt like it would effect our sex life or make the bedroom a different place, less sanctuary like. However, last year DH asked for it back, and I must say I really enjoy having it now during pregnancy. There are so many times where I can't sleep at night and it's a nice distraction from the heartburn, or when I need a little time to myself it's nice to shut myself away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom#post-10993 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 17:13:36 +0000 eeh 10993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do and probably always will. It's the 2nd tv in our house so it's nice to be able to retreat and a watch a different show if we want. We also like to lay in bed and watch movies together. It actually gives us more time together because we're rarely ready to sleep at the same time so this way we can at least lay in bed together. We can always turn it off if we want a different kind of togetherness. ;) </p> <p>Not sure if this topic was also geared towards kids rooms or not but we will not be allowing televisions in our kids' rooms because we want to be able to monitor what they watch, when they watch it, and also encourage them to spend more time as a family versus all retreating to separate spaces. </p>
