My older sisters hated the fact that I always got home before they did.
We only had 1 TV and that was my hour of TV time.
And just think...
For our grandparents it was "We had it hard: we had to walk up hill, both ways, in the snow, with no shoes to listen to the Green Hornet on the radio! We didn't have your fancy talking picture box!"
For our parents, it was "We had it hard: we had to walk from school (but not up hill etc etc, because they had more schools and shoes) to watch the Mickey Mouse Club in BLACK & WHITE! And that was our only choice! We didn't have your fancy color tv or cable!"
For us, it is "We had it hard: we had to run home (usually just from the bus stop, because you either went to a magnet or rural school!) to watch the Transformers, because if we missed it, god knows when they'd play it again! We didn't have your fancy TIVO or Internet to watch re-runs!"
For our children, it'll likely be something along the lines of "We had it hard: We actually had to PHYSICALLY go to school for SIX HOURS a day... and hope our parents/sibling didn't TIVO over our Transformers Animated while we were gone! We didn't have your fancy B.I.D.E.T. (Beamin' It Directly Eyeball Technology) system or internet only school!
(For what it's worth, we intend to send our child to elementary school online, supplemented by homeschool/tutoring. But I just want the free laptop. LOL.)
