For those of you who ditched cable, what about the other rooms in your house? Obviously this question is not for one-TV households. When my mom visits, she likes to watch TV in the guest room before falling asleep (she has insomnia and this actually helps her). I also often fold laundry in there or in the bedroom and watch TV. When DH is monopolizing the family room TV after A's bedtime, sometimes I like to zone out for a while rather than read.
Maybe this is a totally stupid question, but I'm truly curious. Do you have mulitple Roku/Xbox/whatever player in those rooms? We did not have cable for a long time, and it pretty much made maternity leave suck a lot of the time. Do you know what the Tyra Banks show does to your brain when it's the only thing on? Bad stuff folks, bad stuff. The ONLY reason I would ditch it is if I can use the money for an ocassional housekeeper and someone to keep up our pool this summer. Two things holding me back are: being chained to one room to watch and lack of Nick Jr.
