I don't get to use the big TV much anymore, so I forget to DVR stuff. The kid is always watching Noggin so I have to go upstairs to the little TV in the kitchen with no DVR, and then I always forget stuff. Me is woe.

Goes over fine in my house. If it didn't they would just have to deal. However the only time I'm regularly watching TV is during football season and sunday for NASCAR. Anything else is hit or miss.
You could think of government workers like teenagers. You pay them an allowance, but do you get any work out them? They eat the food, put their feet on the furniture and complain loudly whenever they are unhappy.

Lead Balloon comes to mind. No way that goes.
Sounds like a parent that doesn't have control of his household At minimum, sounds like you let your kid get away with too much stuff if you can't even approach that issue.
Kidding (kind of), but seriously, that wouldn't fly with me. Would never have flown with my parents or my wife's parents. At best you should be sharing everything. If you can't set rules and boundaries, or even get the TV you want for certain shows... it's on you. Soft parenting... I'm just saying, how is it even possible that there is "no way that goes" that "Big dad gets big TV. Little girl gets little TV." You are the friggin' parent. Act like one, ya big pushover you.

OK, you caught me. I exaggerated a bit to make a point. It's not like I'm not in control of my household, and my child. I watch TV in the kitchen mostly because I cook up there all the time, not because I "can't" on the downstairs TV.

I wondered, that's kind of what I thought. You don't seem like you'd let your kid control a tv.
I'm the same way. I use our 42 inch a lot more than the downstairs 55 inch. Wife is the opposite. The one downstairs is visible from all the dumbells, bench, elliptical, etc, etc... The 42 inch is visible from the kitchen. My workouts are like 15 min - 60 min each day. Wife's are 60 - 120 each day... so she uses that one a lot more. I guess I grew up in an "ours" kind of way. We just share all our stuff, don't really monopolize anything. If I had a kid, who knows... them things is needy I hear
