For those of you with a living room or multiple rooms; do you have a TV in your bedroom? Why or why not? - Lemmy.zip

I haven’t had a TV in my bedroom in over 20 years. I had an ex who always wanted it on all the time, even to sleep to, and it drove me crazy.

Yes because there’s 5 different people not counting a baby that all have different interests in my house. The only time we really come together to watch TV is for sports.
So you just sit in different rooms watching different things alone?

I would actually prefer that 90% of the time. I hate having to watch TV with someone else, I either miss what’s on it or feel awkward when I have to rewind, then people have this warped perception that I care what they are trying to tell me as if it’s not obvious I’m watching something on the TV so my focus is elsewhere.

My usage of a TV in the common room is when I’m feeling social or want to have whitenoise, any serious watching is strictly in my den or bedroom

The common room TV usually has reruns of The Simpsons playing simply because everyone can agree on that lol
