To sue the company who makes peppa pig

On Friday, my 10-year-old son jumped in a muddy puddle and got mud in my eye, all over his school uniform, all over the car, and all over the porch. He also threw his 23-year-old sibling’s CV out of the window as a paper airplane, which he had made a long time ago, causing delays in their job search. He has been saying that I have a big tummy, which has hurt my feelings, and was refusing to get out of the car after we drove home from school. Most times when I ask why he does these things, he says things like "Peppa Pig does it," "Peppa Pig did it," "George did it," or "George Pig does it." I have noticed that he has been displaying all this behavior after watching Peppa Pig.

Yes you absolutely must! Those little trottered brats are the reason your child is also awful at the age of 10. 100% their fault, no one else to blame but Peppa and her incompetent porky parents. This pig poo has gone on for far too long.

10 year old and still watching peppa pig…???
I don’t let my child watch it, peppa is a brat !!!!

Be a parent and stop your child from watching it, to sue the company must be a joke???

Peppa pig has never been allowed in my house for this reason. Bluey much better options

Talkingdonut · 16/09/2025 12:02

This can't be serious? Why on earth is a ten year old watching Peppa pig?! It's aimed at preschoolers.

Still watching Peppa pig at that age? It might be time for something more age appropriate!

Did you learn this sort of language from Peppa too?

Henry would be working in finance, head of the department, living his best life, out with the lads every night

Peter would be living on an island sanctuary looking after animals, recovering from his childhood.

I always felt so sad for Peter! I would love this nice future for him

He's 10. You need to get a grip.

Spookyspaghetti · 15/09/2025 22:28
  1. Children jumped in puddles before Peppa Pig.
  2. Have a long hard think about why a strong, confident, mildly cheeky female pig worries you but similar portrayals of male characters like Bing, RaRa, and so on are accepted as how boisterous male toddlers should be. It’s internalised misogyny.
  3. If you don’t like something your child is doing you explain that it’s not something you do in your house regardless of if they saw it on tv. You are the parent.
  4. Peppa Pig contains some brilliant observational comedy about British family life.

😂 at the people who think this is serious!

wreckingmybread · 15/09/2025 22:16

I had to move back to Ireland with my son when he was 2 and told him that Peppa Pig only worked on our London TV 😂 likewise Bing. He can never know.

Nooo !
Never too old.
I read that the news of Mummy and Daddy pig having a new baby earlier this year was huge excitement for older teenage girls.
They were all very excited by it all.
(Hmmm......is this going to cause the return of the teen mums 😬)

To be fair this was part of the issue!
The 5 year old had outgrown Peppa but she we have a 2 year old who is obsessed. So we took them both to the cinema to see Evie Pig, took them to Peppa Pig world to meet her and purchased the requested Evie toys 😂.
Basically I have encouraged this issue 😂. So I can’t really complain! Just wouldn’t want her friends to think she is babyish.
Her main interest is definitely just with Evie though!

And here I am telling my 5 year old she’s too old for Peppa 😂

Never, my 16 y.o DD still enjoys peppa.
My niece is a garda (police) she watches peppa after her shift.
The cheeky little pig cheers you up.

I'll join you with a retrospective lawsuit for Horrid Fckng Henry

I know some teachers who would like to sue for Grange Hill.

Absentosaur · 15/09/2025 21:53

Christ don’t let him watch Tom and Jerry. Although winning those 2 lawsuits would set you up for life.. YADNBU. Let us know how you get on .. 🐷

EmeraldShamrock000 · 15/09/2025 21:53

I'm surprised a solicitor hasn't moved into Peppatown yet, they definitely need a legal Eagle in that town, it is lawless.
Mr & Mrs legal Eagle, Emily and Edward. 🦅

Jesus.

of course it’s not serious.

I actually despair at the number of posters who’ve taken it literally. No wonder the world is the way it is - do they just believe everything on social media?

Then why waste our time putting it on then? I despair at people who’ve got nothing better to do.

Is this a joke? Why is your ten year old watching a toddler programme? Do some parenting. Switch it off or put something more age appropriate on.

What a way to raise mysoginists. Only male characters are worth watching.

Children and their families doing something as thrilling as jumping in a puddle or finding a spider - or cars, numbers and a knight given missions to complete - I'd definitely go for the more interesting stories. Well, were it not for stuff like Bagpuss, Fingermouse, Ivor the Engine, the Wombles, Flumps, Watoo-watoo, Ulysses 31, Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds, the Mysterious Cities of Gold, Round the World with Willy Fog and all the other weird and wonderful children's TV of the 70s and 80s, along with Looney Tunes (especially Tom & Jerry/Bugs Bunny, particularly the musical ones and Roadrunner - which was a masterclass in comic timing).
