Spending time with your family. Be truthful and add up the hours honestly. Could you be planning a family activity or dinner? Could you be reading your child a book or be at the playground? Could you be cuddling on the couch with your hubby, or taking a walk instead?
I could be in bed reading a book with my husband right now. But here I am!

It is all a matter of choice. I do the majority of computer stuff and it is way more than Mylot when they are sleeping or gone. Like now I have one sleeping and a movie is in while I compute. Hubby and daughter went to the library and on a couple of errands. Hubby and I went grocery shopping and he had an eye exam this morning. So we had a bit of time to ourselves. Things still get done and the computer is not in charge. It is a matter of choices. I am glad you are here!!

We spend all over our time watching TV, playing videos, and such. I admit it. But other than the occasionally video game and playing on the computer - we do all of those other things together. We cuddle on the couch when we watch TV and movies. Where he's got back problems so he doesn't like taking walks.
I understand though where you are going with this. We don't have kids though so I like to think that when we do we won't spend as much time in from of the tube. I don't want my kids spending too much time watching TV and playing video games. Everything in moderation.

I don't actually live with my family or a partner, just my housemate, so it doesn't really matter to me, we'll watch a film together like last night Pet Sematary and we are both horror fanatics. On a typical day I will watch tv from 4.15pm to 8pm. Computer from 8pm to 1am and occasionally through the day. I don't tend to play videos much if at all.

I´m married and I´ve got a daughter. I prefer a family activity and having dinner with them to sitting in front of the computer screen.
But I must admit that instead of reading a good book, I will be on the computer. I´ve got other activities online apart from mylot, so I spend a few hours each night doing that. I always try to set an hour for bedtime, but it always gets too late. I only watch TV if there´s something on that interests me, which is not really that often, lol.
Altogether I spend about 4 or 5 hours on the computer most days, ok, I admit it, nearly every day.

Well Ally I live on my own so my time is mine to do what I want and when I want
But I have to be honest and tell you that I am a lot on my Computer and at night when I go to bed I will read for a while
I am not a TV watcher but the TV is on in the Background.

It's fairly even to be honest.
I have almost no time for either, but then again I am not married, and I am in my early 20's so my parents don't need me so much.

Most of my time is spent using my computer at home or watching tv or doing housechores. I do spend time with my parents on the weekends as we go to church or have breakfast together. My brother, sister and the rest of my family live in Texas so I am not able to spend time with them very often. I spent most of my vacation with my family in Texas and very little time on the computer. I watched no tv at all while in Texas.

My family have all grown up and left so there is only hubby and myself left here. I had my grandchildren here for the last week and I admit, they were my priority. I never switched on my pc until they had gone to bed at night. Right now, my hubby is watching sports on the tv and I have no interest in them so he is quite contented to be left alone while I spend my time on myLot.

Well, I always make sure that my time will not get conflict on each activity of the day. I personally finish my priorities early before I can spend the rest of my time in leisures.
When I watch television, I choose the time of the day when most of the program I like is simultaneously broadcast. These programs are usually early morning and late in the afternoon.
Most of the time, I spent my spare hours on my computer. It took me about 3-8 hours a day browsing the net. There are many programs that I visit regularly such as Youtube, Yahoo, myLot and other hyip sites. Posting in forums like this is where I spent most of my time browsing the net.
