TV Shows

Hi Anon, where did you go to watch TV? Mine is @ Upmovies! http://upmovies.to

Dear Aunt Agony : I am an older woman, and not very mobile. I moved in with my son's family following an injury. They have been very helpful and supportive.

There is only one chair that I can get up from unassisted, in the living room. In the evenings, I like to watch TV there. I really have limited options of other things I can do. My daughter-in- law is resentful about my TV use.

When I was raising my son, our custom was to keep the TV on pretty much all the time. My daughter-in-law has told me many times that she wants to keep the TV off pretty much all the time. She won't spend any time in the living room when the TV is on, even with the volume down. I'm not watching anything offensive, just game shows and network shows. She doesn't bring up the TV often, but I can tell by her expressions that the TV bothers her.

My son got me a TV for my room, but I don't want to be off by myself. He also got me a recording device so I can watch my shows when my daughter-in-law is at work, but I don't understand how to use it. My son has tried to get my daughter-in-law to respect my TV watching, but I think it is causing some conflict between them. She is very stubborn.

How can I get my daughter- in-law to relax about my TV watching? Having the TV on didn't seem to hurt my son when he was growing up. I don't think it's going to hurt my grandkids. – J.
