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.

And still not married? Shocking 😱

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.

I used to wonder why people added “(lighthearted)” to their OP.

Now I understand

@Needmorelego Miss Rabbit burnout - never!

She was raised from a young age responsible for thousands of siblings before having her own hundreds of children to send out into the world.

This still happens in our house several years after Peppa became a porca non grata according to our daughter.

We also still attribute any and all roadworks to Mr Bull. Usually accompanied by loud “MOO!”

Oh yes....see any roadworks anywhere ever and it has to be announced to the world...
"Digging up the ROOOOOOOOOAD"

@hagchic I think it was only a few years ago that Watership Down was upgraded from U certificate to PG 😱

My Dh narrated our lives Peppa pig style for longer than he should have. On occasion the kids weren't even there. Using that 2 note sound when things go wrong on the show. 'Mummy does not like it when she can't find her keys', 'Mummy doesn't like to talk before she has her coffee' etc.

I didn't cope with Watership down - full on sobbing at Saturday morning cinema (where parents dumped you whilst they went shopping I seem to remember)

Just as bad was the Pit ponies film - if you know, you know.

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

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

I cant tell if thats sarcasm or not 😂

No, definitely not sarcasm.
I genuinely didn't know that. 🥰
I'm a big nanny plum fan.

If Henry was a real boy (urrgh shudder) going he'd be about 30 by now. I wonder how he's doing?
(That's TV Henry. Book Henry will be even older)
Edit : I checked....book Henry is now in his early 40s. I'd love a follow up novel for adults.....😂

Edited

He'd be standing for Reform!

So obvious, now you've shed some light. 😅

First answer nails it.

Although I think I might have changed my mind.
This thread shows you're never to old for Peppa Pig 🐷

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 15/09/2025 14:31

Fun fact: shes the voice of Miss Rabbit in Peppa Pig!
We love Peppa Pig in this house.
All together now... fruits and vegetables keep you alive, always remember to eat your 5 🤣

He's 10.
Time for a new programme.
Maybe something educational like Blue Peter or Horrible Histories.

First answer nails it.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 15/09/2025 14:41

Love horrid Henry, he's popular in this house.
Spongebob too.

That's nothing, I'm 42 and still do the Ben and Holly trumpet noise.

If Miss Rabbit cracks I want full on raving rabid rabbit rampage from her.

Not a rest cure in a lighthouse.

(Traumatising the young might not be quite the right fit for early years programming)

Oh no..... now I have Watership Down vibes in my head. She'll turn into the General.....

It's been a few years but I think they established Mrs rabbit didn't have kids and she was not the same person as Mummy rabbit. They were siblings. Obviously voiced by the same actor and no doubt they were originally one character and in a 'hilarious' twist they were two separate characters. Actually I love Mrs Rabbit, one of my favourite animated characters ever. Her and Suzie sheep
