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.

It can't be half term already, surely?

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)

My daughter is 7 and wouldn´t be seen dead watching Peppa...time for new programmes.

Let's do a joint suing. Strength in numbers

My husband now won't stop going round telling people he's "a bit of an expert" every time anyone needs a little assistance with something. Yet it always turns out he's not actually an expert at all, he knows sweet fuck all about it and he makes himself look a right bellend. The secondhand embarrassment is killing me. He's bringing shame to the family name!

@Needmorelego Margaret would be a head teacher of an inner city secondary school reknown for it's excellent discipline and results.

The threat to be sent to the Head would make everyone fall in line.

I watch crime drama. I don’t go and murder people and then sue ITV

Needmorelego · 15/09/2025 14:32

@hagchic no I think Miss Rabbit will crack one day so she will take over running the lighthouse away from everyone else in peaceful solitude.

You need to start channelling Nanny Plum from Ben and Holly!

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 🤣

@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.

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.

What about Margaret?
I hope her moods improved.

My DH's nick name is Nanny plum, his stomach rumble is like clockwork. He likes sweeping too, he often has a sweeping brush in hand on his days off.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 15/09/2025 14:27

Yeah but they'll probably counter sue as it's a TV show for toddlers, not a parenting service. I'm scared what will happen when he graduates to Crime watch.

Dweetfidilove · 15/09/2025 14:26

I'm guessing this is lighthearted, so will just laugh along 😃.

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

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.....😂

EmeraldShamrock000 · 15/09/2025 14:25

Waiting on the drip feed.

Newsflash!! did @po8jte really have to put "lighthearted" in her title?

I too would help fund your legal fees @po8jte 😎

Rage bait. This has to be rage bait.

Arregaithel · 15/09/2025 14:23

CasualDayHasGoneTooFar · 15/09/2025 14:19

He's 10 - why is he watching Peppa Pig - and if you don't like his behaviour? Newflash - you're the parent (possibly, reads more like a child writing this)

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?)
