TV On Demand – A Mom’s Secret Weapon

Date: Oct 23, 2009      Category: Writing Nook

Kody was born almost two years ago and it seems like time just flew by. I remember how beautiful the first few weeks were, when my husband had a lot of time off of work and we just spent it being a new family. My husband and I used to turn the TV on but never watch it. Then when Kody would fall asleep, we’d attempt to watch a movie but we’d both fall asleep 10 minutes into it.

When Kody was an infant we had plenty of long nights and no sleep. What came in handy was TV On Demand. We’d find something like SpongeBob just for background noise or we’d watch a movie while trying to get the baby to fall asleep. Kody became a huge fan of SpongeBob from early age and then he moved on to Sesame Street. Now he demands that we watch Elmo, even when Sesame Street is not on any channel. I can’t say how awesome TV On Demand has been, especially when we can grant his wish to watch Elmo whenever he wants.

If you are a Mom with Charter digital TV service, you have On Demand. Charter’s On Demand is not just for TV shows your kid likes. When the baby is sleeping, you can catch up on your favorites or snuggle up with your husband to watch a movie. You can watch thousands of movies and TV shows anytime you want. I prefer to catch up on episodes of The Real Housewives whenever Kody is in bed. That way I can keep up with all the drama and get the scoop in peace and quiet.

Charter TV service is not available in all areas, but you can learn more at charter.net/ondemand. You can also get updates and fun extras on Charter’s Facebook page.

   I love Charter On Demand as well! My 15-month-old loves Blue’s Clues on Noggin/Nick Jr., and he’s not yet old enough to realize that he is watching the same 3 or 4 episodes over and over for a month…
   I can’t find Sesame Street On Demand…can you direct me? Alex loves Elmo so much, that’d be great for me while I’m making dinner!
