You can take him out of the room and your DH can call you when the game is back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvingLife Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 My family and I do not watch halftime, we shut the TV off or my dad turns it to a different channel. It's just too much, way too much even for adults! I mean come on, whatever happened to the safe commercials, why not put Betty White in? I love that women, she is so funny, and I think somewhat safer than Modanna. We usually prepare food during that time, do some project, or go for a nice walk and then come back to the game.

Alte Veste Academy Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 We record whatever we watch on our DVR. We like to start 1 hour shows after 15 minutes so we can fast forward through all the commercials. We all LOVE the Superbowl commercials but we still start watching late (more like an hour, since it's so long) so that we can fast forward through anything inappropriate. We do not watch the halftime show at all. Is that an option for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the commercials are good, but others ... They're horribly suggestive, or some even by-pass suggestive and go straight for the in-your-face. Completely inappropriate for children.

smilesonly Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 recording isn't an option, unfortunately. i could take him out to work on a project, but our floor plan is wide open-i'd have to take him to another floor, which i guess is possible. good to know i'm not alone, but ugh.

AK_Mom4 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Serve the "good" food at half time. Food is usually a good distraction for 10yos. Have him help you get it ready in the kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unicorn. Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 We only watch the commercials, but am not looking forward to it this year from what I've heard about them. :( And the half-time show isn't even shown on T.V. We get announcers and re-caps of the game. Oh, we might get about 30 seconds of the half time show, but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We keep the remote handy so we can quickly change the channel when the commercials come on. We don't watch network television ever (just movies and netflix) so I think it's even more shocking for us.
