Four years without a TV and she's eight. That's four to eight. What the heck? The kid didn't need a TV in her bedroom. There's more than one TV in that home already. And like everyone says, they use iPads, etc. Kids live on phones also.
Families do not need to be all separated into individual rooms watching TV. Kids that young really should not have a TV in their room. It leads to more separation from family and more INACTIVITY, vegging in front of a TV. So what was her fvcking point? A small TV for a kid's bedroom wouldn't even be repaired anyway. Just replaced. So what is all the "broken" whining about? I'm sure Ioan woudn't replace it because the little girl didn't need one in her bedroom. It's not like Alice didn't have their credit cards. You can get a 13-inch to 27-inch TVs for a small kid's room for practically nothing at Target or Best Buy.
She is an idiot. I guess she had to spend more time with Elsie without a TV in her bedroom to babysit her and keep her out of her hair while she was tweeting to MITH, etc.
