Aibu or is this show shit? Dad has just discovered it and it makes me so cross.
Their mum is so wet. Tim doesn't want to come downstairs and meet the new teacher, "ok Tim". No, it's not ok Tim, you're being rude and you can play with your rocket later.

And the last day of nursery episode???
Fuck off Tony Welsch's dad - invite the whole fucking nursery over to your own fucking house!

In the episode DS was watching this morning, the neighbour was a nurse on night shift who had to drop DD for a last minute sleepover because dad had picked that weekend to take the eldest camping and her babysitter had let her down.

Here's a thought - go fucking camping another weekend! Instead, Twinnies mummy just simpers 'she's welcome any time!'
No she isn't! Plan your fucking childcare better!

Gahhhhhhhhhh over invested

It's called Autopsy and Tim in this house...

FernetBranca · 09/08/2016 23:14

Yy, in the old days, Tansy - the younger sister- was adopted (as a toddler, I think) and was black or at least mixed race. My dsis was adopted and my parents bought me the book in advance to "explain" what was going to happen ( I was 5). I was quite surprised dsis was a baby and not black!

This was in 1970. Don't tell me the little blighters still haven't learned to read!

PatMustardsBigTool · 09/08/2016 23:57

Nooo! YABU! I love T&T. Well, not love. More tolerate. Much prefer them to fucking Peppa. And I can only dream of my house being as much of a 'shit tip' as theirs! Seriously, it looks like a tidy palace compared to my house's impression of toys r us in a tornado.
Agree about smug mum, though. Who is ever that calm, anyway?!

AntiHop · 10/08/2016 00:56

Mov1ngOn I also have garden envy. I want garden so my dd can run through sprinklers.

Yorkieheaven · 10/08/2016 01:08

Mooey

Yes ffs. The mother is a robot.

fernet that's a bit sad. Have you had contact since. Not prying just interested.

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 10/08/2016 01:09

I quite like it. I get several minutes of peace while dd watches these back to back :)

The mum is v annoying with her nude colour scheme of natural fucking fibres, I give you that. But she's clearly up to her tits on some sort of medication that makes her so calm so I make allowances. She does need a big blob of strawberry jam on her outfits and perhaps a sticker off banana stuck in her hair. For realism. Plus the twins should brawl and tantrum all day more.

NotCitrus · 10/08/2016 02:29

Their house is amazingly tidy!

Mum is clearly on Valium and that calmness hides fury beneath.

HobnailsandTaffeta · 10/08/2016 03:15

Yorkie I think she gained an adopted sister not had hers given away!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 10/08/2016 03:39

Are you good at remembering?

Why yes Topsy What kind of ridiculous name is that?!? How were social services not called?!? I am good at remembering, actually! Especially since we literally only finished watching it thirty long, excruciating seconds ago! I DO NOT want to see it again!

Haudyerwheesht · 10/08/2016 05:28

The one that pissed me off the most was when Topsy and her friend (a girl) made cupcakes and the boys weren't allowed and had to play in the garden. Then when the cupcakes all got spilt Topsy was all chilled and forgiving about it and didn't have to be restrained whilst trying to kill her shit of a brother.

Also I hate Mr Rosen. He's such a weirdo.

clusterfork · 10/08/2016 05:58

There is something a bit sinister about Topsy and her emotionless eyes.

Mr Fenn is definitely a serial killer. I think he's got body parts buried under the new driveway that T&T helped him lay.

Will Tony Welch's new brother Jack be forever more known as Jack Welch?

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 10/08/2016 07:02

Cluster, he shall be known as:

Tony Welch's new brother Jack Welch

Noonesfool · 10/08/2016 08:14

Also, unless I've iust been unlucky, there are only about 4 episodes which are on endless repeat.

I hate them. They are like a mash up of The Midwitch Cukoos and Stepford Wives.

FasterThanASnakeAndAMongoose · 10/08/2016 08:22

It's bloody awful. I still prefer it to that arsehole Bing Bunny though, with his inability to speak properly. He gives me the absolute rage Angry

AnotherUsernameBitesTheDust · 10/08/2016 08:37

Half stripped wallpaper and patches of colour schemes has been my decor for a while. And I have twins.

However I am very very shouty so I'm definitely not Topsy and Tim's mum.

I haven't watched it for ages but it used to annoy me how there was no fighting and mum was so damn calm all the bloody time.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 10/08/2016 08:42

Faster, I don't know what you mean! I love the moronic twat face that is Bing Bunny.

SheHasAWildHeart · 10/08/2016 09:03

Yes to the PP, who mentioned the house on Grandpa in My Pocket. Silly concept for a show, but love the house.

Sophsy · 10/08/2016 09:10

I choose to believe that mum actually lost her shit and yelled at the kids and the whole episode is a product of her imagination whilst she's locked herself in the toilet and is face booking about her day whilst drinking wine out of a bottle.

BagPusscatnip · 10/08/2016 10:07

I'm in love with the whole idea of 'Sunny Sands' in Grandpa in My Pocket. I really really want to live there I'd step on Grandpa though

Tony Welsh's dad reminds me of Greg Davies in Man Down

Gowgirl · 10/08/2016 10:14

She's not having a baby you know......shes fucked off and is NEVER coming back! 😁

snowgirl29 · 10/08/2016 12:44

I just wanted the mum to lose her shit with them just the once.

But that was just my own selfish reasons to justify the odd times the DCs have pushed me to the limit and I've ended up shouting at them telling them off. Grin

lissa90 · 10/08/2016 13:01

You hate Topsy and Tim, I HATE Paw Patrol

TomDaleysTightTrunks · 10/08/2016 13:14

I met the Mum at soft play a couple of months ago. I say met, I walked up,to her and said 'Are you Topsy and Tim's Mum?'
She was lovely.
OMG I've just realised through Google that her DH is Ben Hull and I saw him with the kids at a different soft play. Well, I never.
I've also seen Chesney Hawkes at another soft play. It's celeb spotting heaven at soft play round here Grin

Kalispera · 10/08/2016 13:15

Topsy and Tim are at least 10, but everyone speaks to them as if they are either a) 3 years old or b) have suffered a recent brain injury.
