I wasn't emotionally prepared for the Sleepytime episode of Bluey. What has unexpectedly made you cry recently?

I mean, I know I'm tired because the baby's sleep is all out of whack, but honestly.

Crying into my morning cup of tea over a cartoon dog trying to sleep in her own bed all night is just soppy. Early night for me tonight I think.

It's not just me, is it?

This thread, and the six week old baby that I saw at work today. Gave me proper gummy grins, it’s literally the most adorable phase.

I’m now feeling very teary.

Oh, what about the love song in Hey Duggee 😍

The Valentine’s Day song 😁

Up.

The old man could be a portrait of my granddad, face and specs and jumper and all. The montage of them growing old together and then alone...

😭

One of the CBeebies Christmas shows, Christmas in Storyland i think, it has a character called DillyDally, who has to deliver things for Christmas. My kids watched it a lot 2 years ago. There's a song in it about wishing to be together with family for Christmas, and it was during covid etc when I couldn't see my family. I had to leave the room every time it was on.

Oh god! I had this in VHS as a kid, it obviously had an impact on my as I (and my siblings) can remember it vividly, but I don't remember crying at it. I daren't watch it as an adult though! I don't think I'd ever recover. Ironically I googled it the other week and read through some reviews, it really was quite an exquisitely scored and made film.

Up. The first 10 minutes. Weep every time I watch it. Now even just the music sets me off.

God Bluey alternates between one episode leaving me feeling like I’ve learnt a life lesson and then next episode I’ll be weeping. I need to get over it before DD realises that I cry at every other episode of Bluey. Baby race, Sleepytime, camping. “Early baby” and being “the bravest you’ve ever been” even broke DH.

I cry at everything so I’ve cried at most of the things listed on this thread and even just people reminding me of them has got me welling up. However, the stupidest thing I’ve ever cried at was Lizzo’s Good as Hell when I was pregnant - she’s just so empowering 😂

Can barely see through my tears after watching that.
The love of a Father.😍

My wee one was born in April 2020 and to commemorate that bizarre first year, for her first birthday I bought a children's book called 'The World Made a Rainbow', which is about missing your family and friends and all the normal parts of life during the pandemic. It's not really a sad book per se, more hopeful but I can't get through it without having a cry. Tried recently and had to put it away!

I picked 'The Paper dolls' as a book for storytime with a group of preschoolers without having read it first and had to stop to collect myself for a second when I got to 'and a kind granny'.

The Repair Shop sets both me and my husband off frequently. There was an episode where a lady wanted to repair her stepfather's beloved childhood Teddy Bear but her stepfather died in the period between them sending the bear to the repair shop and them seeing the final result. Neither of us could speak for several minutes after the episode finished.

Ohhh Annie Rose is my little sister is a book my mum read to my brother and I. So when I had my ds and dd I read the book to them - apart from that line absolutely breaks me. I absolutely adore the illustrations, makes me feel so cosy.

Anyways bluey - I cant watch sleepytime it breaks me- my eldest (now 7) needed me to cuddle them to sleep for years and years - until one night at 5ish he didn't need me anymore. They grow up far to fast.

I love bluey. Def cried during a few episodes...

Yes it’s this episode for me too! But Sleepytime is also wonderful

Saw another emotional one this morning - Onesies. Chilli's sister visits for the first time in years. Turns out she's distanced herself because she can't have her own children and found it too painful to see their happy family

During lockdown I found it hard to read The Snail and The Whale. I would start to cry when the whale gets stuck on the beach and the snail feels 'helpless and terribly small'.

Oof just watched Baby Race. That got me too, although not as badly as Sleepytime.

I don't know whether to seek out the other sad ones mentioned here. It might be too much!

This was on this morning. It made me stop in my tracks and sit down and made my son take his glasses off and rub his eyes and say I just love that one. I went off to work wondering how I was going to explain that I was late because I was watching Bluey. It was something special to sit and watch it this morning, I very much enjoyed it.

As someone who cries at the drop of a hat it is probably better that I haven't watched Sleepytime. I did however get very teary over an episode of The Tweenies years ago. They were doing their nursery play and Jake Tweenie sang 'To dream the Impossible Dream' in a warbly little voice. I have no idea why it touched me so much!

I went on a whale watching trip the other week. Never seen a whale in the wild (or anywhere) before and we were out on the ocean for about 45 minutes and then suddenly there were three there, all leaping out of the water and flapping around and for no reason I can ascertain at all, I welled up at the sight. Even now, I can’t figure out why it made me feel emotional. So bizarre.
Bluey episodes otoh, I always well up at, especially Baby Race, Onsies and the one where Chilli is a little girl.
