I Haven't the "Remote-st" Idea!

So who died and made the male species the main controller of the TV remote?  Does that convenient tool always end up in the hands of a guy in your house?  I have to say that ours is a 75%- 25% split most of the time...with the hubby maintaining possession the most.  And why is that?

Someone once said that "Men are hunters and women are nesters".  That's probably true, when applied to our TV remote.  Hubby tends to flick thru the channels, hoping to find something better than what he just had.  I, on the other hand, tend to "nest"...  I find a show I like and stay there.  Maybe it has something to do with attention spans.  I don't know...

And I get that HGTV or the Food Network isn't his idea of interesting viewing, but who said football games or countless repeats of  movies like "Tombstone" or  "Gangs of New York" interest ME?   Oh, that's right!  He has the remote!

Separate rooms with TVs and DVRing -a great service offered by our cable provider - have made our living together a bit more peaceful but I refuse to give up my custody battle for the main remote!  One day, maybe I'll get to have it every other weekend....  We'll see.
