I fucking hate Barbie

[CockyPants]

Mother bought shitty BarbieMother dancing princess DVD for 5.5yr old Dd. Dd hates me so much she has made me watch it TWICE in one day. Feel like killing self cos it is so execrable. Aibu??

I quite like Barbie films. I would rather watch them than Dora the bloody Explorer or some other nonsense.

Bin the DVD. Say it broke. Tell your mother that you are bringing your child up in as gender-neutral environment as you can and that anything pink/fluffy/sparkly/pricessy is banned.

BTW, what does execrable mean?

Hate Dora. Hate Thomas the tank. Tommy zoom. Chuggington. Postman twat. Bob the builder. And fucking Barbie.

Execrable = shit

I have introduced 4yo dnephew to the joys of Super Ted and Bananaman

Dsil is very relieved

Don't get me started on Disney princess n fairy shite. Sorry. Child has been off today cos school is assessing new bugs for sept 2012 entry. 3 days of being mummy just about killing me...

YABU. Its suppose to be for the kids to enjoy, not you. In 10 years time you'll be longing for these days where your biggest complaint is watching a Barbie dvd with your little one.

Yanbu.
And I don't think as parents we should have to pretend to like stuff that is execrable (good word of the day).

Let her know why you think it is poo..., in a gentle way! I let my daughter watch tripe if she wants but I discuss why I think it isn't very good so she can make her own mind up.

She still watches tripe at age 7 though, may take her a few years to become more discerning!

PippiL you are right. Part of being a parent is showing and teaching DCs how to make good choices in life. And not just watching shit because everybody else does. Being a parent does not mean that I have to like doing everything Dd does. I'm 42 not 5.

Apparently Barbie hired out GI Joe to bump of Sindy.

AND she's gobbling off Action Man behind Ken's back. Not that he'd care because he's actually gay and has been seen out in a notorious gay bar with Buzz Lightyear...

Loving yr work,TurkeyBurgerThing.

Except that Buzz is Sub and likes to investigate Mr Potato Head's holes...

YANBU about Barbie.

What's wrong with Dora though people?

"where are we going?" "mermaid kingdom!"

Love it.

And the 'we did it' song.

I bought myself dd 'Mr Ben', Pipkins, Mary mungo and Midge, she loves them. I hate all the modern stuff cos i'm old it's loud and shouty.

I'm 10 years younger than Sil (16 younger than dp) so I had access to lots of cool retro 80s cartoons that passed them by, Pathan

I quite like Barbie nutcracker, really got my DD into classical music.

She also likes hong kong phooey, dangermouse, top cat and trap door :o

try fecking tinkerbell 3x in the last 24 hours. dh thought he was being nice as I had the hangover from hell. It didn't help.

NO shoulda the must be followed by "tallest mountain!"

Barbie cheats on Ken?.

I love the Barbie films! And I'd consider myself a feminist!

I must admit, there have been occasions when I've sung "Beachy Head"

I've hidden the Barbie DVD. Don't feel at all guilty.

My DDs love the Wacky Races on YouTube, they are completely obsessed! Mind you, their favourite character by a long way is Penelope Pitstop, maybe Barbie needs to get herself a better set of wheels
