Who rules the remote (of tv) in your house? email this discussion to a friend?

First come, first serve. This is the rule. Whoever got a hold of the remote first will be the last. And that's as good as ruling the tv for the entire day/night! We follow this golden rule in our house. Too bad for the late comers. What about in your house?

Can't watch tv unless its the news, have to spend al my time running errands, studying, looking after Claudia or posting stuff here=) Otherwise, we have over 5 tvs in the house cause we used to fight so much over it, with my parents here and all and when it was so boring in the breaks I got.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 501 out of 38,541 in life  3 years ago

wow! you have 5 tvs??? then you dont have to fight over the remote! lol we only have 2 tvs in our house but the other one doesnt have a good reception. only 2 channels are viewable. so the other tv gets all the attention.^__^


myLot reputation of 93/100. littlefranciscan (4683)   ranked 377 out of 38,541 in life  3 years ago

Exactly my sentiments..5 Tvs...and I felt guilty over having 1 tv..My my my..imagine the Electric Bill;)

thays the best rule which u follow .in my house the remote is with me but i consider everybody watching the tv and give them atleast 5 minutes each to view what they want.Isnt it a gud idea of being gud and ruling tooo.....???wat say u?????


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 501 out of 38,541 in life  3 years ago

5 minutes? isnt that worth of commercials only? lol just kidding. thats considerate of you. well i guess you could continue that, if you think 5 minutes is long enough.^__^


myLot reputation of 84/100. oneandonemakesix (24038)   ranked 1,475 out of 38,541 in life  3 years ago

5 minutes? That's hardly enough time to decide if its good or not, not to mention if you end up on a channel with commercials.

The commercials take 5 minutes alone.

If there is a fight over what to watch I have final say in it.

Mooch


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 501 out of 38,541 in life  3 years ago

good for you oneandone! i usually have the final say too, that's if only my nephew and nieces are watching. LOL if my mother is watching i would ask her permission first to change channel.^__^;;


myLot reputation of 96/100. menctomas (119)   ranked 3,047 out of 38,541 in life  3 years ago

my children usually OWNS the TV in the house. we have 2 tv. 1 for watching videos and playing games and the other for... well, tv. anyway, i have only one schedule, that is every mondays, after 7pm, the tv is mine. thats it actually, the rest is pure cartoon network, disney, hero tv and lastikman!!!


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 501 out of 38,541 in life  3 years ago

LOL its really hard to argue with children if their favorite shows are on.^__^;;

if it is lastikman for your kids, its shaider for my little nephew.^__^;; well, there's no shaider in the local channels and even in cable channels but I have a dvd of it. when my nephew sees me, he'll approach me and say "let's watch shaider!". and hell will break lose if I don't give in to him. LOL now he's even bugging anyone other than me when he feels like watching the darn metal hero.^__^

no one really does. when there are a lot of good things on tv then we keep fighting and the lucky on e rules. if ther is nothing worthwhile then we keep passing thee remote to the other as it becomes bothersome to keep flipping the channels and not finding anythign worth watching!


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 501 out of 38,541 in life  3 years ago

well, we have regular channels to watch so its kinda everyday that fighting-over-the-remote happens.^__^ during weekends the fighting lessens since some of the shows we watch are not shown during these days.

In my house there is no remote control rules. If someone wants to watch some tv show we simply ask to change the channel. If we see that someone is watching something on television that we see is important, we don't even ask to change channel. I guess the only rule is to respect each other.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 501 out of 38,541 in life  3 years ago

that's a good rule. but im not saying that we dont respect each other in our house. we all set the rules, we follow it, we respect it. so that's just good as saying we respect one another.^__^

8. myLot reputation of 76/100. suspenseful (17152)   ranked 1,393 out of 38,541 in life   3 years ago

We do not have a rule. It depends on what is on, but usually my husband gets it first and when he cannot find anything he like, he will turn it over to me unless there is a hockey game, a comedy, MASH, a movie which he has seen already but which I have not, a show that he does not want to see although I want to see it, if he is not going to the computer room, if he is going to the computer room and wants to listen to the show but does not want me to change the channel. So the only time I get the remote is if he does not want to see the show and he does not mind if I turn it to the show I want to see.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 501 out of 38,541 in life  3 years ago

0_o LOL I got kinda confused reading your response.^__^;; so basically, your husband rules the tv (not the remote) because, if he wants to watch a show, you can't change the channel, right?^__^;;

LOL but now I don't care anymore, its now my nieces and nephew who compete for the tv. me? I can butt in whenever I want too and they wouldn't have the courage to go against me. LOL

lol great discussion, and great rule.

well in my family its just me and my auntie so its pretty much "give me the remote" and you get it lol...

otherwise if i dont like what shes watching i watch in my bedroom or watch shows online on sites like fanpop.com


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 501 out of 38,541 in life  3 years ago

before we only have one tv so we had to fight over for the remote. LOL but now, I have my own tv. but its broken! but I still don't fight for the remote anymore. my brother, who were always my competitor, lives with his wife in a different house now so I don't have to go against with anymore. only my nieces and nephews. but they can't do anything against me so basically I am the queen of the tv.
