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.

Peppa deserves to be sacked, she’s an oversized pink hairdryer!

I think several of us realised fairly early on this was a fake post but we were having lots of fun with it.

@hyggetyggedotorg I always had a fondness for Pedro too 🥰

I agree Peppa can be a bad influence but she’s got nothing on Suzy Sheep! That’s an original “mean girl” in the making.

I always liked Pedro Pony.

The kids keep trying to whistle and get very angry and fight because they can't. Very wearing. Clearly learned from Peppa.

Maybe try to turn his focus to Miss Rabbit's work ethic.
(although I haven't watched for a few years - has she had a burnout breakdown yet?)

Edited

Love this reply.

I want to be Ms rabbit, she's fecking amazing 🐇♥️💗💞

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 15/09/2025 19:59

Yes you should.
I was hit in the face with a frying pan, by a mouse of all things, and now I have flat, frying pan shaped face.
So don't let them watch Tom and Jerry either.

Imagine admitting you are a crap parent with a spoilt kid and then trying to blame a Tv programme that you let them watch.

Obviously this is BS but I have heard many parents use all sorts of excuses to justify their lack of parenting over the years.

I swear I read this same post the other day, minus the CV aeroplane bit

TicklishMintDuck · 15/09/2025 19:47

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.

InMyHealthyEra · 15/09/2025 19:32

He’s 10! A 2 year old might not understand how those behaviours are wrong but a 10 year old does. Stop letting him watch it if he copies the behaviour. Parent your child instead of complaining

Idontknownowwhat · 15/09/2025 14:20

LOL why is your 10 year old watching Peppa pig?
But yes. Sue them, Peppa has always been a bit of a dick tbf.
I never let DD watch her, cos she was AWFUL to George.
Now my younger ones watch her. But also love muddy puddles, has worked out poorly for me a few times.

I'll chip in towards your legal fees

Agree. Peppa was vile to George. She was also rude and genuinely unpleasant.

Now Ben and Holly on the other hand.. ❤️🤗

Northernladdette · 15/09/2025 19:27

I’d 💯 sue, let us know if you’re successful 🙂

MrsBrett20 · 15/09/2025 19:23

This is clearly a joke. Are people taking it seriously?! 😂😂🙈

Bikergran · 15/09/2025 19:23

What 10-year old watches Peppa Pig???????

Cheeky19863 · 15/09/2025 19:12

Sounds like a naughty kid. Time to sort him out and stop blaming Peppa Pig. How ridiculous

TiredMummma · 15/09/2025 19:11

Why does a 10 year old watch peppa pig

IzzyHandsIsMySpiritAnimal · 15/09/2025 19:10

randomchap · 15/09/2025 14:19

Isn't 10 a little old for peppa pig?

Don't blame the tv, look at how he's being parented.

Pretty much this.
If he was 3 or 4, or even possibly 5 or 6 I could understand it.
But 10?

Nip this in the bud. He's old enough to know better unless there's something else at play.

switch to Bluey

Yes but then you get the Aussie accent and "Biscuits" muttered all the time.

sarah419 · 15/09/2025 19:03

switch to Bluey

Peppa Pig and the several episodes shown in succession without ads, was a blissful chance for me to doze off for 15 minutes while little DD cuddled up to me and watched completely spellbound.
