CITV seems to constantly be playing this atm.

I do feel sorry for horrid henry though as his parents treat him so badly compared to perfect peter.

Example: Henry's parents won't take him to see his favourite band for no reason other than they don't like them but they all have to go and see Peter's favourite 'happy hippos'. OR where Peter decides to misbehave for a day and everything is blamed on Henry even when Peter admits to it.

HEnry can't do anything right. Peter can't do anything wrong. No wonder Henry plays up all the time. And he isn't usually that badly behaved.

AIBU in thinking that his parents need some lessons in how to parent?

I would like to know why Stephanie's parents sent her to live with her wierd foam puppet uncle in Lazytown.

I'm convinced Lola doesn't really exist.

I think she is Charlie's imaginary sister, Charlie seems to be the only one to speak to their parents you see.

I remember 'nanny' from the Muppet Babies.

She just shut them in a room for HOURS on end! Even when they were ill!!

ooh i used to love muppet babies. imagine the uproar if a RL childminder behaved as nanny did Shock

I think Stephanie's parents probably sent her far far away for the sake of their sanity though.

In our house we have a theory that Norman Price is actually Fireman Sam's son. I forget the logic we had now but it made perfect sense at the time

I think Horrid Henry has learned the majority of his bad temper from his mother, who seems to have no patience and no sense of humour.

There should at least be a 1 hour special where Child protective services found out about this and decided to send Henry and Peter to a foster home.
