TV influence

Hubby was away for a few days….and these were the 2 messages I sent to him via text one of those mornings…..

1st text:
“Yesterday, R wanted Barney. I wrongly switched on the one on server 2, and it could not play. I said to R spoil alr… She turn to me n said, ‘it’s ok mommy. Then I watch Friends lar’ haha…n b4 we sleep, she wanted to watch one episode of friends first. Ur daughter scary la.”

2nd text:
“N then ar, in afternoon, I was browsing thru astro. She was lying down w me. Then I chged channel from AOD to starworld, coz got cartoon on starworld. She told me she dun wan to watch cartoon. She wanted that ‘aunty scolding the girl’ channel, which was AOD. R u worried?”

This was hubby’s text in response to my 2 text above:

“Haha she has really grown up !!! I am scared”

AOD = Astro on Demand, which advertises, and shows snippets of Chinese series

Well, I guess it’s also my influence, which is quite bad, too much TV. I watch repeats of Friends, especially at night, before I go to bed. Have been having nightmares, and the series can sort of relax me. And also, I watched repeats of Friends every single night when I was pregnant with Rachel as well…..

Another note: I just read an article (yah, sleepness night, so thought the boring article will help), that children with TV in the background, will get distracted easily from their toys. And this will affect their concentration power from now till older. And toddlers who watch TV for more than 2 hours a day will be more likely to develop behavioural problems when they grow up.... OH NO????!!!!!!
