Most of the time, my mom controls the remote control of the TV. My husband and I are not so interested in TV. It's no a big problem what to watch. However, when my husband and I stay together, then sometimes we will fight to watch from TV. It's common that we have our own favorites.

I seldom watch Tv too so when I do I had the lone control of the remote. Lol! My hubby is too nice to get in my way because He knows I don't do it so often.:)

My grandkids keep breaking remote controls in my house, so, we just have to get off our lazy duff and change the channel manually. I think it makes us sit through a whole tv show more often since it actually takes a little effort to change to a show we are interested. However, if my grandson had his way, we'd get a new remote, and he'd have control, since he thinks cartoons are better than anything his mother or I want to watch

when I was a child, I always like watching cartoons:)

My dad or my sis has the remote most of the time. I will usually be sitting infront of my computer the whole day due to this:-D

I hate to say it but my partner controls the remote control here! He always sits up later than I do so he thinks that it is fair that if I want to watch something I can go and watch it in the bedroom, which is fair enough as if he went to bed and watched tv I would annoy him when I then went to bed! Most of the time though we do watch the same programs so it isnt that bad!

Sometimes my husband and I also won't give in the remote control.

It never was a problem at our house.My husband was never a remote hog.If I was watching something in the living room,then he would go into our room or our daughter's room and watch tv.Most of the time we liked the same shows.Alot of time I was too busy on the computer working on my book and he would watch tv in the living room.Well,jokingly I'll say that he didn't take the remote with him,so I still don't have a problem.Lol.

Our pastors birthday was last week and his wife was away with their daughter and he said he was going to get her a present her own remote!Lol.

Its always my eldest brother who controls the remote even if my mom is around. He's very superior on it and we don't like watching tv with him because he always switch channels during commercials. We always fight together because we have different favorites hehehe

I usually control the remote. I'm a big channel surfer. My husband and I usually like to watch the same things so it doesn't cause too much of a fight between us.


myLot reputation of 96/100. youless (15147)   ranked 88 out of 4,983 in watching television  3 years ago

That's great that you and your husband enjoy the same TV programs:) We always have difference to it.
