Do you have a TV in your bedroom?

We only have one TV in our house, since there is only two of us and we watch it curled up on the couch. I never felt the need to have one in our bedroom. I told my sister about it the other day and she couldn't believe it! Is it weird?

We don't - we provide our own entertainment in the bedroom!

Same here!

We don't. But I am also against TV's in bedrooms, I don't think they belong in your sleeping space.

Same here. No TV's in the bedroom for us!

My Parents have been happliy married for 28 years and the key to their success was a TV in each room, LOL!!!!!

I'm sure my parents would be divorced if there wasn't a tv in their bedroom...also I loved when my mom told me I could watch TV in her room....woo hoo!!!!

we have one...and DH needs it to sleep...i like it b/c I wake up and watch the news in the morning...

We only have one TV in our apt. It's a small TV/VCR that's in our bedroom. It's in our bedroom because the cable jack and internet Road Runner cable modem are installed there as we spent most of the time in our bedroom. Hopefully in the future we would like to get another TV in our apt. We have the space for it in our entertainment unit just need the $$$$ and run a cable wire there one day.

We didn't for the first five years and then we bought one because the kids had taken over our living room tv. Its nice to snuggle up! He pretends that he doesn't watch Days with me.

Re: Do you have a TV in your bedroom?

Right now, yes we do.
Normally my feeling is the bedroom is not a place for the TV. It's distracting, loud and generally annoying. I like my bedroom my escape from all that.

But since we live with his family and I practically live in his room, we have one in the room. I have to admit it's nice to curl up with him but at the same time it's annoying when one of us is distracted by the computer/Tv when the other is pointing something out on the other computer/Tv.

So.. Normally No, TV stays out front

We have 3 -- and I don't live in a house! One in the living room, one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom!! The kitchen one comes in mighty handy when I'm doing dishes or when DH is playing PS2 or watching some stupid movie.

The one in the bedroom we fall asleep too -- we set the timer and I'm out cold before it goes off. Although there were several times I woke up in the middle of the night to voices, only to discover it's the tv that he forgot to turn off!!!
