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.

@ruethewhirl Of course not, you just need to find some children for cover - any chance of borrowing some or becoming a childminder?

lmao this can’t be real 😭 😭 Peppa is a brat but she’s not out there leading your child astray. I know it sounds wild but you can limit what your kids watch???

My BIL hates peppa with a fiery passion so she’s banned from their household. They’re firmly on Bluey’s territory.

It wasn't Peppa Pig. It was JK Rowling's fault.

Is this a joke?

Don’t kids stop watching peppa pig in reception?

Damn, you mean I've got to give up my Peppa fix now I'm 57?

He’s 10! Kids blame other things to get out of trouble. He’s being naughty end of. Don’t blame a tv show, sort him out and use some discipline. Actions have consequences. Jfc how ridiculous to blame a tv show for poor parenting

Got to admit though, Bright Eyes is a wonderful song

Edited

It's singing in my head right now.
I'm gonna be stuck with it for several hours.

@Needmorelego The same thing they were thinking when they made the various terrifying public information films that were shown in school.

I think it was 'this will scare the beejeezus out of them and make sure they don't mess about on the railway lines'

Watership down's message was 'you think you've got it tough kid - be thankful you're not a rabbit (or a pit pony)'

As to whether Moody Margaret is still moody - she'll be menopausal by now so I would expect so.

Not yet I hope.... she'd only be early 40s.

I don't know.
The OP hasn't returned so I think they were trying to be edgy with a fake thread but we've just gone with it and we're having fun.

Yanbu. I too outsourced the entirety of my parenting to TV and now my daughter is convinced she is a"K.pop demon hunter".

I think the OP thinks she’s being funny and clever. She isn’t.

Nothankyov · 15/09/2025 14:59

I have to say I have always detested peppa pig. Never let my kids watch it. They watched curious George, blaze, Mike the knight and number blocks. There are plenty of other options.

U - suitable for all ages.

The field of blood.
Rabbits suffocating in warrens.
Bright eyes
Ripping the rabbits ears as punishment.

Right!

I know 😂
What were they thinking?

Quite. It managed to give me claustrophobia, an obsession with dystopian totalitarian societies and put me off meat for life all in one go.

What is wrong with you and your family?

There's an odd lack of humour in this post 🤨

Dont think today's kids could cope with Watership Down they'd need counselling! Youth of today eh 🤣

Show quote history

Always cracks me up how it's shown on TV every Easter, like it's some cute kid-friendly film about fluffy bunnykins... it's blooming savage. I bet the TV companies are deluged with calls from angry mums every time.

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

Show quote history

No wonder im veggie!
Between that & the animals of farthing wood and Babe... it was a no brainer.
Brutal they were.
I actually loved Watership Down and even now could probably recite every single line in the film from memory.
Theres a dog loose in the woods... I still think about that line alot to this day.

Edit spelling!
