I wonder \u2013 Does the amount of adult television that moms watch decrease based on the amount of kids they have? It has in my case. That\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing. It\u2019s just something that I recently noticed.<\/p>\n
When my husband and I didn\u2019t have any kids, we had several shows that we enjoyed watching together. After having our first son, there was less, but still a few. Now that we have two sons, neither of us watches a lot of television. The only show that we watch together consistently is \u201cHeroes\u201d. He watches sports, \u201cHell\u2019s Kitchen\u201d and \u201cLost\u201d consistently. \u201cDesperate Housewives\u201d is the only other show that I watch consistently. (I don\u2019t even watch \u201cThe Big Idea with Donny Deutsch\u201d \u2013 rather, its background while I\u2019m doing my work.)<\/p>\n
In theory, I\u2019m looking for more adult shows to watch. (I see TV as \u201cbrain candy\u201d \u2013 as long as I don\u2019t view too much, it\u2019s good for me.) I\u2019m open to suggestions. I primarily like comedies (life is dramatic enough!).<\/p>\n
One show that a friend recently recommended is \u201cThe Bill Engvall Show\u201d which premieres tonight on TBS. It\u2019s about a family counselor who has trouble figuring out his own family. I like the premise, so I\u2019m going to check it out. (Personally, I find it funny when people consider themselves \u201cexperts\u201d when it comes to parenting, because parenting is so unpredictable!). <\/p>\n
I\u2019ll let you know if I come across any more shows that I feel are worth my (mommy with two kids) time.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
