I like to play movies in the background while at home. I used to play music but don't as I am censoring for my children. It is usually family movies that I like to play. Our favorite are musicals like Oklahoma or Enchanted. I love playing educational videos and will play multiplication DVD in the background so my 4th grader could learn in her unconscience while she plays or sleeps. It is a techniqued I used when I was younger and I did well. I only put on certain cartoon like Madagascar for my 2 year old so she can learn her animals. Otherwise we really wouldn't watch television at all. Are you an avid tv or movie watcher?I rarely do but enjoy it as a treat. I have been known to watch marathons or movies on Netflix when I have a chance to have a "date" with myself :)

I use TV and movies as background noise everyday because sometimes my house is just too quiet. To be honest I am trying to get out of the habit but it is tough

I watch tv every day , and I also use the net at the same time . If I am on mylot and not listening to music are something I will get sleepy . I watch movies online also and maybe more these days because it easier for me to type and glance at the movie or listen to it lol .

I don't put films on in the background as when I watch a Film I want to actually sit down and watch it.
