in thinking it isnt Henry that is horrid, but his hidepus patents and thay snotty brother?

[bejeezus]

Well am i?

He doesn't seem to do anything too horrid...his mum and dad constantly whine in that whiney dropout way...and run him down...

Dopey not dropout!

Well, his parents clearly are partly to blame. They obviously haven't managed that sibling relationship very well, and turned their kids into polar opposites.

Any young kid that behaves badly is the result of bad parenting I think. Either they're not giving enough attention/ boundaries or too much attention/ few boundaries.

Peters a proper twat. All up his own arse and smug

I blame the mother

merrymarigold i hope you children are perfect little angel who do NO wrong.

but on topic i do feel for horrid henry and his parents need a kick up the bum i think.

Yy...parents is really toxic and ineffective. Peter will suffer some kind of 'golden child' syndrome fo'sure

Hate it, think its an awful programme and terrible Depiction of a family

Just spotted all the spelling errors in my title

I don't think he is horrid either, just a normal boy. Unless of course my boys are both horrid too!

i think Peter's worse than Henry - he gets away with blue murder then cries.

YANBU

I was just about to post that Peter shouldn't be "perfect Peter" he should be "compliant Peter"
He's so far from perfect, just sucks up to his mum and dad.

urgh i hate this programme

vile

my kids are no angels, kinky. But if any of them were like hh, or pp, on a consistent basis I would have a SERIOUS look at my parenting !

I reckon Henry will be found posting on the 'But We Took You To Stately Homes' thread in a few years.

headinhands!

Peter is a bit wet so very much like his mum and dad. I like to think Henry will do well in later life.

I dunno about later life. Henry is complicated. He will behave badly to get attention and will find it hard to believe he is loved and accepted. He may even deliberately sabotage relationships because of this. Poor chap.

Horrid henry film.....well that was one and a half hours of my life i will not get back again

Really electrical?

I wasn't interested in it, cuz I don't like the tv programme....but I thought the trailer looked quite good?

The mother is beyond awful. Tell any child he's horrid often enough and you can pretty much guarantee the child becoming horrid.

trailer was the best bit....a compilation of the best bits.

I think the whole concept is awful and just couldn't finish the first book - if this were real life you'd want to shake the parents to make them see sense. I can't bring myself to let ds1 read them, they're such awful examples of parenting and could actually be quite damaging I think.

Film was awful!

Henry is annoying but not half as irritating as Peter. My DD's had a friend recently who was exactly like Peter in so many ways - she irritated me every time she was round - I felt like she was sucking up to me. They have other friends who are more Henry(ish) (as are they) and I much prefer them.
