I've struggled with this forever with both of my kids (11 and 5) and I have a husband who loves TV also. We've tried a variety of things. Anyway, it hasn't been too bad because my kids love to play outside and my husband works until pretty late in the evenings, but this year we got a 15 year old foreign exchange student. He LOVES TV. I had to figure something out that wasn't too much work for me. We decided no TV/computer/video games until after 6:00 pm. It's been fabulous! My 5 year old goes to bed at 7:00 so that leaves only 30 minutes of TV time for him before he starts getting ready for bed, and my 11 year old gets about an hour a night before he does other stuff. We're going to modify it a bit for summer and allow a little more, but not much. The kids haven't complained at all (except for the 15 year old exchange student), and it's so peaceful and easy. Good luck with whatever you decide.
