thank you for your input on time frame and game playing.
I was born in 1941. TV was a rarity then! LOL
So I am really trying to balance this out since we have been given the job of raising a grandson in our senior years.
Now if all the rest of the world’s problems were this easy to solve! LOL
I came along eight years after you, but my siblings and I didn't get all that much TV either. Mostly, there just wasn't all that much programming or channels in the fifties and sixties, and most kids' programming was on weekday afternoons, and Saturday mornings. Ozzie and Harriet was a complete bore, so my brothers and I played soldiers on the floor, or read comics. LOL
We lived for sunup, when I was a kid. The world outside was our playground, not blinking computer screens. Today, my wife and I do everything we can to get the kids outdoors, but it takes supervision sometimes, which is a job. In my day, Mom just kicked us out the door and told us to be back by sundown.
