I find myself guilty of this from time to time too. In the end the answer is to model the behaviors we want them to model. If we want them to read, it's ok to read in their presence. If we want them to exercise it's ok to exercise in their presence. We don't have to be 100% on in servant mode, but it's good to be connected. I think the TV is awful as background noise. Music is not so bad.
Another poster in another thread said, you can only have one hobby as a parent. That captures the reality.
