We are pretty adamant that our bedroom stays a bedroom where we rest/sleep, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6/page/2#post-2348847 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 10:24:51 +0000 .twist. 2348847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I was pretty against it in the beginning, but I do find it useful now. We usually end the day watching something! Despite not wanting it, I do love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6/page/2#post-2348837 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 10:21:55 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2348837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>W e do but we almost never watch it together. I use it when I'm cleaning and also with TV for LO in the morning (when I'm still too tired). It doesn't affect our relationship at all and is definitely not on nightly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6/page/2#post-2348794 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 10:05:48 +0000 LuLu Mom 2348794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got one like a month ago, and the reason was I got my wisdom teeth out and I wanted to lay in bed, binge on Netflix, and recover in the comfort of my bed. I love it. It also helps us sneak in our room after our toddler goes to bed and she doesn't hear the TV in the living room/feels like she's missing out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6/page/2#post-2348788 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 10:01:46 +0000 bushelandapeck 2348788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do , because my husband insisted on having one in there as he grew up falling asleep with it on. Since we've had kids, the t.v. has not been on once at night (DS is 3yr 3 mos) so he recently took down the cable box and brought it to the man room in the garage :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6/page/2#post-2348721 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 09:23:49 +0000 nana87 2348721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! we only have 1 tv. occasionally i watch netflix or something on my computer or ipad in bed, usually if I'm sick or if dh is watching sports </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6/page/2#post-2348706 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 09:14:49 +0000 Happygal 2348706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never have, never will! I don't find TV relaxing in any way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6/page/2#post-2348684 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 09:04:38 +0000 Alivoo01 2348684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do, but never turn it on! If we watch tv, we all watch it together in the living room. </p> <p>The TV in our bedroom used to be the tv in living room of our old house. When we moved, we wanted a tv that mounted on the wall for the living room (the prior tv was a Samsung DLP rear projection tv). Since it was still a working tv, we didn't want to toss it out. And we knew we wouldn't get much money selling it so it's not just sitting on a dresser in our master bedroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6/page/2#post-2348574 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 04:05:33 +0000 CRGmama 2348574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I never did until my husband and I moved in together. It helps him relax/fall asleep, even if it's only on for 5-10 minutes before we go to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6/page/2#post-2348163 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 14:26:02 +0000 DesertDreams88 2348163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't and we won't until we have kids 1.5-3 years old bc we don't want them seeing / hearing "adult" shows. </p> <p>For now, when we want to snuggle/lie down and watch TV, we actually take our guest bed mattress (lightweight twin), lay it on our living room floor, and watch from there! Let's be honest, it's there more often than it is on our guest bed frame ;) This is also because our living room set-up / size is not conducive to snuggling or lying on couches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2348158 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 14:21:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 2348158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, my husband is very set against it. Wants our bedroom to be somewhere for reading, sleep and sex. I do wish we had one sometimes...I'm fine vegging out on the couch to watch TV, but sometimes I really just want to stay curled up in bed in my underwear, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2348154 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 14:16:51 +0000 sapphire 2348154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Not good for sleep and I like the bedroom to be a calm retreat, but a place with a bright screen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2348079 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 12:16:00 +0000 sarac 2348079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, my bed is for sex and sleeping, as they say. Of course, with the three month old baby in there, no one is doing much of either of those things. But that's the idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347907 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 06:53:39 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2347907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two TVs. One in the family room and one in our bedroom.</p> <p>Even though we have taken steps to make our family room darker during the day Sometimes we will watch movies in the bedroom because we have black out curtains there. We often watch TV together, but occasionally each of us wants to watch our favorite shows while the other is at home or awake. So, having the second TV comes in handy.</p> <p>Our bedroom TV is never on during the weekday morning. When DH gets ready for work he and I are chatting. When I get ready for work I also am working on my laptop in the family room with that TV on.</p> <p>If we ever move, a bedroom TV won't be critical, but I would still want a second TV in a den/ office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347853 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 00:02:38 +0000 Keybee 2347853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for all of the feed back! I really would like to keep our bedroom TV free, I just have to resist this pregnancy urge! I know if I had one I'd watch it way too much... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347847 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 23:53:35 +0000 hummusgirl 2347847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, mainly because I watched an Oprah episode about 12 years ago where she talked about how the bedroom should be for other things, and it stuck with me. I'm not planning to change that, but I am 36 weeks and would really love one right about now! There's just nothing like being cozy in bed AND watching TV at the same time. But that's what hotels are for during work trips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347844 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 23:41:48 +0000 HLK208 2347844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but I only watch it on the nights I'm alone or when I fold laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347785 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 21:28:09 +0000 mrsrain 2347785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No tv in the bedroom! That said, I will sometimes being my laptop up to watch Netflix if I am sick or tired (20 weeks pregnant). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347781 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 21:24:44 +0000 AggieDaze 2347781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do have one (it was an old one that used to be elsewhere in the house and ultimately was moved into our room instead of trashed). That said, we hardly use it. It only has chromecast so we can use it for Hulu or Amazon Prime if we are sick and want to be in bed, but we generally watch TV together in the living room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347775 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 21:20:58 +0000 MrsRcCar 2347775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not now. We used to, I prefer it to not be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347763 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 21:08:55 +0000 MamaBehr 2347763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Love it. It's awesome for when one of us is sick in bed or we are trying to keep on kid quiet while the rest sleep. Didn't have a tv in my room until college and don't plan to give my kids tvs at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347748 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 20:18:41 +0000 regberadaisy 2347748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but it's a Google tv my brother got us years ago. Our wifi signal sucks so I honestly can't remember the last time we watched TV in bed. Although it sounds heavenly. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347743 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 20:15:06 +0000 sunny 2347743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We both like to wind down for the day with a little bit of tv. I resisted for a few years but I actually really like having it there now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347739 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 20:11:47 +0000 MrsF 2347739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - just in the family room. The only time that I wish we did are early mornings with the kiddos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347733 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 20:09:51 +0000 Boogs 2347733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one. We don't always use it, but sometimes there's nothing like being snuggled in bed and getting to watch a show or movie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347696 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 19:28:55 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2347696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No and I have never wanted one until recently. Our new house has a sitting area in the master bedroom with a fireplace and sofa and already has a TV mount from the previous owners. So I feel like we might as well get one there for the times we want it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347682 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 18:54:19 +0000 lady baltimore 2347682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put a spare one in there when we moved in, but never plugged it in, and after nine months my brother needed it, so we gave it to him. We're getting a bigger one for the living room, though, and I'm going to move the current living room TV up to our bedroom while I'm on maternity leave. It won't be hooked up to cable, but I'll be able to watch DVDs and stream things. When I go back to work, it will go down to the basement (where it will await our getting any other furniture down there). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347673 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 18:34:15 +0000 autumnlove 2347673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, it hasn't been turned on in over a year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347671 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 18:16:54 +0000 Winterbee15 2347671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do. It's nice to relax in bed and rent a movie and make popcorn after DS falls asleep. DH works 3rd shift so I look forward to those evenings and don't get them often. It's nice not having to worry about keeping the volume down because our bedroom is on the opposite side of the house from DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-tv-in-your-bedroom-6#post-2347663 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 17:47:59 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2347663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, love it!</p> <p>@Bao: glad I'm not the only one! </p>
