I’m pretty envious, what a lovely life 😩

So many people need to update their parenting cultural reference points. If you're still refencing 90s girl group TLC you are out of date....

Scenario: See an intriguing thread… click on it to find out more - realise you don’t have a clue what it means.

Do you:

a) angrily comment on said thread, blaming OP for your lack of knowledge.
b) shrug and move on, it’s not your thing so find a different thread.
c) can’t beat em? Join em - look it up, maybe even watch a clip of Bluey and find out who Chilli is.

there are a couple of answers here that indicate a well-adjusted human and one answer that does not….

Are you really this obtuse or are you trying deliberately to be annoying?

Why do you think this is being obtuse?

I love Bluey. Its such a wholesome wonderful show that has definitely reduced me, an adult, to tears (Onesie episode and baby race get me every damn time)

But the thing i HATE is that bloody Bandit has set unrealistic play expectations... my 4 year old now expects me to drop everything to turn my whole living room into a resturant and play with him...

It’ll only be obvious to people who’ve watched Bluey 🤣 my kids are far to old but I put it on for the dog if I’m going out, I often find myself watching it when I get in! I love it, Muffin cracks me up

Not moody. Hadn’t realised it was for an ‘in’ crowd. Happy to share a light hearted thread if I’m told the context. Others explained this, thankfully.

Another one. Can someone start a separate thread for the moody folk?

I have a 4 year old and I didn’t know. I’ve seen the show once and found it intensely irritating. It strikes me as something for adults, not children. The characters are completely aggravating.

TBF to OP . I think that's just you.

Do you mean Bluey's mum? I would hate to be married to Bandit. So annoying and always centering himself in the kids' play.

I know a bandit and he seems super fun dad on first few meets. After a year or so you realise he's mansplaining parenting and is so fucking irritating. Glad he's not my dh!

Booboobagins · 28/07/2026 02:16

Our dog is called Chilly, Chilly Boy and Chill (we mix it up). He's such a happy little chappy. I sometimes wish I was Chilly too...

No dear, you've missed the point, people are/were annoyed at the lack of context with the opening post i.e. not having a fucking clue what OP was talking about.

No one is "furious" about a thread about a cartoon character... 🙄

Why are you annoyed you didn’t know about a cartoon dog? You didn’t know who Chilli was, so the thread isn’t for you, so come off it? Why would it annoy you? It is absolutely batshit but it has been a great read.

Fucking Hell, why are so many grown women absolutely furious that someone has posted about a cartoon character they don’t know 😂😂. If you don’t know who they are, just scroll past. Absolutely insane behaviour.

I am 40 and don’t have kids and do know what Bluey is. If I didn’t, I’d have simply left the thread. Get a grip.

This thread is amazing, it’s like a parallel universe. I think I’m going to start opening random threads and posting affronted comments about how I don’t know what anyone is talking about. In fact, I may just start walking up to groups of people mid-conversation in real life and get petulant when they don’t immediately stop the discussion and cater to my interests and experiences.

(But yes @Pjsaremyfaveoutfit , Bluey is top notch TV for everyone, not just kids).

It would be good if you explain to the groups you walk up to that just because they know what they’re talking about, it doesn’t mean that the rest of the world is at their exact same life stage.

If they are talking about the king or God or the colour of the grass, it would be especially good if you could tell them you’ve never heard of them.

This times a million. He is awful. I hate how everyone thinks he is so good, he takes over their play and is a twatty husband

Off topic maybe, but I'm jealous of Mummy Pig when they do special things for her birthday, and Daddy Pig looks after the children so she can have me time.

Yes I always want Dh to be watching these kinds of things, so he can take notes!

I asked DH if he wished I was more Chilli.
he said no, she's a bit annoying.
I said, what??
he said she leaves all the parenting to Bandit
I recited the whole of the swimming pool episode where Bandit forgets to take ANYTHING
he said Bandit is the fun parent.

aibu to ltb?
