In your home, who gets the TV remote control ?

Question

I'm just curious, whether this old stereotype holds up these days...

Do you get control of the remote, or does your partner ? Please state whether you are male or female.

*[This is for people in a relationship only]

Answer 1

When my husband and I are watching TV together we usually try and find something that we both want to watch, but if there is something that my husband is particularly keen to watch that I'm not interested in it doesn't bother me.  anything i particularly want to watch I record and watch in the afternoon when he is usually working.  He likes a lot of programmes that I'm not particularly interested in, but there are a few programmes that we both like very much.  speaking of which,new series of New Tricks starting on Monday, whoopee!

Answer 2

Depends who sits down first......then if one of takes a bathhroom break you snatch it away...gender doesn't enter in to it.

Answer 3

My husband gets the remote because I am very passive in the relationship. I give him whatever he wants.

Answer 4

Because I watch TV no more

Answer 5

For my parents, it depends on what they're watching. We have more than one TV, so they'll often watch their own shows in different rooms. When they're watching together, it's anything goes.

Answer 6

I'm a woman and I get the remote.  My husband gets the remote for the amp, so he controls the audio and I control the video.

Answer 7

We share all 6 of them. Can anyone explain to me why the heck anyone needs 6 remotes? It's beyond me...

Answer 8

I admit, I'm the couch commando of the house.

Answer 9

Whoever gets there first.. but if we are watching together.. we both have to be okay with a show, or we're not watching it.

Answer 10

Both and neither. We're not control freaks. But we don't watch that much tv either.

Answer 11

2 remotes..

Answer 12

Me, I am yhe master of the remote.

Answer 13

This is something we couldn't compromise on, so I ordered a second remote from the cable company.  If we can't agree on what to watch together, he goes into his office or I go into the bedroom.  It's not a big deal.

Answer 14

for me, it's whoever gets there first.
