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.

This is the most WTF thing I have ever read on this forum

Does your son have SEN or learning disabilities? If not why is he still watching and being influenced by Peppa Pig? Surely that's for toddlers?

Haribomum7 · 15/09/2025 18:03

Hilarious do it , some people
on here actually think you are serious 😂

I watched Roadrunner and have never dropped an anvil on a coyote’s head, never mind a wily one.

LauraTheReader25 · 15/09/2025 17:53

This is why that pig is banned in my house. She's so naughty and a bad influence!

MollyButton · 15/09/2025 17:48

If serious - have you had your son assessed for SN?

Wasn’t there a post exactly like this a few weeks ago?

I am suspicious as op is not back yet.

Maybe she's busy consulting with her solicitor..

Could be worse. Ds2 was a Scooby Doo fan. He’s also autistic. We had a phase where almost everything he said was a direct quote from the programme. “No more Mr Nice Guy” was his response to most things he was asked to do.

@po8jte he will grow out of Peppa Pig and move on to worse. Enjoy muddy puddles while it lasts.

HellsBellsAndCatsWhiskers · 15/09/2025 17:24

Peppa pig is the bane of my life. We could club together with other peppaphobes and get a class action lawsuit on the go!

YouHaveAnArse · 15/09/2025 17:20

When I was 10 I was watching Red Dwarf, Bottom and The Fast Show, not programmes for toddlers, but OK.

Dear god. Mumnset 2025. You have to put lighthearted in the title!!

For what it's worth OP my mum tried to sue Bill and Ben for my constant use of the word "flobbadob" back in the 60's. She was unsuccessful!

Flobbadob to all the mumnsetters who didn't realise it was a joke and just want to get angry!!

@po8jte i’m in - class action lawsuit?

Also, some people need to lighten up 😂

As established upthread there's two of them.
Mrs Rabbit and Miss Rabbit. They're sisters.
Mrs Rabbit has the babies, Miss Rabbit has the jobs.
Although didn't they swap once for reasons I can't remember.

Miss rabbit tripped over a toy and hurt her ankle so mummy rabbit rallied the troops and they all tried (and failed) to do all of miss rabbits jobs lol

I watched road runner and Tom and Jerry. To date I have never blown anyone up with TNT or whacked anyone over the head with a frying pan, though in the latter case I have come close on a number of occasions.

Elsvieta · 15/09/2025 16:47

People still send paper CVs?

I don't think the kids of the 70s could cope either....
That film traumatised everyone !

Nah, only the ones who didn't appreciate Greek sagas or mythology. Or birds telling bunnies to piss off.

TimeForATerf · 15/09/2025 16:37

I think kids TV should be banned, we should collectively sue all production companies.

I have started talking to DGD age 10 months in Teletubby language, "eh o" "big hug" "time for tubby bye bye" - I did exactly the same 28 years ago with DD.

FML.

Does your tv not have an off button?

You reap what you sow your parenting skills are lacking so your child has no respect book yourself onto parenting classes.

She can’t………too busy watching Peppa Pig 🤣🤣

tachetastic · 15/09/2025 16:25

My DS (now 17) will still only be friends with anthropomorphic animals and insists on going to sixth form on the Ninky Nonk which takes hours as you never know which route it is going to take.

Maybe we could all launch a class action (or stop midweek drinking)?
