There's no way my parents would have been able to afford a house which they purchased in '77 for $34,000 which is about what my Dad paid for his new truck.

There are still alternatives to television though. Tired parents aren't a valid excuse in my opinion.

When my mom got divorced she was left with two girls, a house, a car and she only made $9,000 a year (this was 1987 ish) - she had to start working full-time and she worked like mad...but still had rules she expected me to follow at age seven. I was not just left on my own to watch tv - there are after school programs and recreation programs for kids (many of them are free) - and there are books!

I realize that not everyone lives by Deanna's book of life - but haha - that's just the way I feel
