What does your family think of you binge watching Netflix

DH and I usually watch together so it's not really an issue.

 Or, I watch when DH is working and I'm scrapping.

They don't pay any attention to what I'm binge watching. When I tell them what I am watching, they generally say "Oh. That's cool" and moves on.

I don't really feel the need to justify or need a way to get away with it. I'd have a problem if I'd have to justify my viewing. I'm sorry that you feel it's something you need to do.

SO and I usually watch it together.

However, there are a couple of shows I know he won't watch, so I end up watching them when is gone.

They are the ones that want to do it.  It kills me when I get into too and then they won't wait two minutes between shows for me to empty the dishwasher or something else like that.

Dh will sit and watch whatever I'm watching. And there have been a few shows we've watched together and would anxiously wait for the other to be ready so we could watch the next episode. I don't generally sit and watch his shows with him as I'm less interested in what he watches. He just finished Battelstar Galactica (the original and the new one) and is now watching Caprica. I watched a couple of episodes, but didn't find it compelling.

If we don't want to watch what the other is watching, the house is big and there are other things to do. No big deal.

My problem with finding a great new show on Netflix is that my family will want to watch it, too, together, and they want me to wait on them to catch up. They'll get busy with other things and I'm left waiting, knowing I could be watching a show I found. I loved watching things together when the kids were young and the shows were appropriate, but I hate having to wait on them to decide to use their free time to catch up.

Right now, my TiVo is 3/4 full of shows DH wants to watch with me, so I have to wait on him to have time to watch them. He usually only has time for one, maybe two, shows on any given nights, so the weekend is when we catch up. This weekend he chose to watch other show so his tv, so I started watching some of the no serialized shows, like cooking or travel shows. He got pissy!

Now I've instituted the 3 day rule: I'll wait 3 days after it's recorded, then it's fair game. And I erase when I'm done. If you have time to watch Ali or whatever the other movie he was watching, you have time to catch up on Project Runway, kwim?

My daughter says all I care about is Netflix. Which of course is nonsence. She is free to watch all the anieme she wants and right now I'm binging on Hell on Wheels. Next, I think I will re-watch the Killing.
