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.

If your child is at school or at the playground and is misbehaving, do you blame the other kids for being a bad influence? It’s your responsibility to teach your child right from wrong and to ensure they know not to copy others bad behaviour

Meh.

My child walks around going "Oh Goody" and does a short, sharp snort every time I say something.

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

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)

Raise your son better than a tv programme does?

Isn't 10 a little old for peppa pig?

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

I think you must. You owe it to yourself.

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