Cable girl

Molly looooves watching TV. Is it any surprise? She IS my daughter and I have logged some serious hours over the years. But we needed an easy way to pry her away from marathon sessions of My Little Pony on Sunday afternoons. Enter the ticket system.

By eating her dinner, cleaning up her toys, or just randomly being a good kid, Molly can earn tickets for TV shows, movies, or You Tube / Netflix sessions. She has to have a ticket if she wants to watch. So far, it's going pretty well! She hasn't really figured out how to stockpile her tickets, so it's pretty much been one ticket in, one ticket out. The only problem is when Molly has a ticket, but I need to deny her access for whatever reason (bedtime, bathtime, dinnertime, etc). She'll whine a little bit, but overall, it's been easier than the pre-ticket era.

Hopefully we can keep this up though the winter, when I know our default mode will be to curl up on the couch in front of the tube!

Someone has been pretty good lately...
