We have a living room and a family room (2 separate floors). Our living room is up stairs by our kitchen and our family room is down stairs by the pool table room.
We used to have our living room as a 'sitting room' with just a couch, chair and nook. Our family room had the couch, chair, T.V and play area. Well, we recently switched the rooms around because the family room is by the garage and gets super cold when the kids are playing and/or watching T.V.
The living room now has the T.V. Uggg! Not good! Before, the only time I ever watched T.V was from 9 p.m- 11:00 p.m. Now, it is so easy to just plop down on the couch and watch T.V. When the T.V was down stairs, that was the kids' area so, I never went down their unless I was playing games with them.
Before, the kids could just come up stairs in the living room and color or do crafts but now they want to watch the T.V while they are doing their stuff. Of course, I don't let them because they still only watch the television about an hour a day. But, it is just hard to have that temptation.
