[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1205629, member: 18809"] Ditto! My kids are involved with other things, not sports. Even with the short days rights now, video games are not on the menu. They get off the bus, have 30 minutes to grab a snack, then outside to do chores. We tend to the cattle (heat check, feed hay, care for show heifers), then bring in firewood for the next 24 hours. By then, it is dark. Time for homework and supper. We help them with their homework, and just have family time. Once done, kids can either read books or play in their rooms (our son loves Legos), bed time is 8 with lights out at 8:30. No tv in any bedrooms, and we do own one wii, had it for 7 years now and we might have 20 hours on it total. On snow days, we like to play wii fit. But we own maybe 4 wii games, none violent. One is a pet vet type, one zoo type, and wii dance and wii fit. My kids have a wonderful imagination, and love to play outside in the trees and such. One of the great things about living rurally, they have each other to play with and everyone else is too far away. We do not have cable or satalite TV, just rabbit ears to get local news channel for weather. Anyone ever hear of Agrarianism? Thomas Jefferson refers to a social philosophy or political philosophy which values rural society as superior to urban society, the independent farmer as superior to the paid worker, and sees farming as a way of life that can shape the ideal social values. It stresses the superiority of a simpler rural life as opposed to the complexity of city life, with its banks and factories. [/QUOTE]
