To think pando is a precocious little shit

Amma seems to really pander to Pando.

She lets him do whatever he wants, never encourages to him to share or wait his turn but instead indulges his behaviour with that sickening smile.

He would be the type of kid you would detest having for a play date

Can you guess what I'm watching right now HmmGrin

Padgett in the swing episode gives me the RAGE!

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 17/01/2018 07:57

Padget is awful. All that simpering.

Of the children, Coco is my least favourite. She's so bossy and whiny. Pando is at least kind of endearing.

Rebeccaslicker · 17/01/2018 08:21

The whole programme freaks me out. Bing is so annoying and the carers are so creepy.

I groan when DD (2) asks for it. Luckily she can usually be distracted with Thomas or peppa or something instead.

Er, I mean, she has no idea what "bing" is and gets the choice between doing letters, numbers, organic sugar free baking or reading.

Agreed, Padjet in that swing episode gets me shouting at the screen when she carries on pushing him after flop and Bing tell him it's Bing's turn arghhhhhh!! Angry

SparklyMagpie · 17/01/2018 08:24

*Padget

dingdongdigeridoo · 17/01/2018 08:26

Pando is an annoying little dickhead. I agree. He’s the sort of kid you’d have to grit your teeth and tolerate during a play date. Plus he just can’t keep his trousers on.

SleepingStandingUp · 17/01/2018 08:26

agghhh the swing episode! It takes time for the swing to stop? Then stop sodding pushing it. I like Pando but i'd offer to have him on my own without Padgett

SleepingStandingUp · 17/01/2018 09:28

I wonder what washing powder his mom uses a those pants are always perfect white

DontWannaBeObamasElf · 17/01/2018 09:36

That bloody swing episode!! None of the “kids” seem to have consequences. “Breaking my phone and hiding it in the bin.....it’s a Bing thing.” No it’s not!!

LaDilettante · 17/01/2018 09:44

I find Bing way more annoying. He’s either whining about something, breaking stuff or killing stuff. Yeah, DD is on a Bing binge at the moment so very annoying. Although I don’t hate it as much as Paw Patrol!

midnightmisssuki · 17/01/2018 09:48

That whole show gives me the rage - the english on there is sometimes wrong - yes i get that kids will talk like that but surely we should be teaching them how to speak properly - not dedicating a whole show to rubbish english! Urghh - my daughter picked up 'its hurty' from it and she still says that odd word now. Its banned in our house Grin

Heartofglass12345 · 17/01/2018 09:59

Haha! Padget definitely panders to him! Why does he always take his trousers off??!!

Bedsox · 17/01/2018 10:08

Not seen this lol 2 more i can think of is Norman from fireman sam my dad calls him a little b@statd everytime he comes on. hes right. Also bob the builder my dads taken to calling him "bob the cowboy builder" i think most children's programmes are really annoying and encourage either bad behaviour or the characters dont speak properly which my dd finda wonderful and obviously copies... all day long! I find peter rabbit the most tolerable or i have the disney life app and a Samsung phone and tv meaning i can mirror screens so have all Disney movies avalible for £5 a month which i think is fantastic and dd loves them. So do i!

SleepingStandingUp · 17/01/2018 10:12

Norman is just killing time until he goes to jail

HottySnanky · 17/01/2018 10:14

Yes, Pando is one of those "spirited" kids and just runs rings round Padget because she is wetter than a duck's bottom. And keep your sodding trousers on ya wee shite!

Bedsox · 17/01/2018 10:20

Sleeping GrinGrin true

barefoofdoctor · 17/01/2018 10:22

That swing episode makes me grind my teeth in fuckedoffness at the spineless 'adults'. There is also a complete lack of basic manners and shite grammar and 'balloons they are a Bing thing'? No they fucking aren't. That programme has made me sweary and angry just thinking about it.

CuppaSarah · 17/01/2018 10:41

I think Pando is Padgets nephew, but her sister has some kind of issues and Pando was put into her care. Hence why she panders to everything and has no idea of discipline. She feels guilty for all Pando has been through and for the secret resentment she has for him.

Or to keep it simple. She panders to the Panda! Grin

Maccapacca88 · 17/01/2018 10:45

Bing is "Bing the bastard" in our house since he murdered a butterfly. I think Flop really needs to consider getting him some counselling before he turns into a serial killer.

FlaviaAlbia · 17/01/2018 10:46

It's not Pando's fault. It's Padgett. She's the kind of parent you cross the road to avoid.

She's so wet, not only the swing episode, the one where he falls asleep in Bing's bed and she decides they're having a sleepover without being asked...

SleepingStandingUp · 17/01/2018 12:16

I think Cuppa has it

SpoonfulOfJam · 17/01/2018 12:50

I really like Bing, the programme. It's so gentle and mind numbing, I can totally zone out into a sort of half asleep state.

OliviaTheFox · 17/01/2018 13:16

I hate Pando with a passion. Little fucker. So rude and oblivious.
I feel better for typing that.

Soubriquet · 17/01/2018 13:27

I've seen the swing episode but the one that triggered this post was the music episode.

She knew Bing wanted the drum but she made sure pando got them first.

When bing breaks the drum and hands over his instrument to sula as an apology, wouldn't the adult thing be to hand over your own instrument instead of sitting there carrying on whilst one child sits at the sidelines all sad?

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who got the rage at the swing episode. I was shouting at the tv! Pando is definitely the most annoying. Coco is a close second-she’s so bossy! I actually like sula but the ‘he’s okay!’ In the opening credits makes me angry! Flop manages to calm me down though with his soothing voice and tolerant ways. (Until he declares something is ‘a bing thing’ when it’s just a normal thing!)
