To want to be more like Flop?

[Qcumber]

He's just so bloody calm! Whenever DD is having a tantrum I sometimes find myself thinking 'what would Flop do?'
Anyone else take parenting tips from Bing's ever patient carer?
(On another note, is he his dad or what? The whole Bing world confuses me.)

The voo voo episode of Bing where all Flop wants is a cup of coffee but Bing keeps interrupting by making a mess is literally my life. It's taken two hours for me to get a cuppa this morning! We went to see Bing at the cinema last week. I'm sure all parents were wishing they could be more Flop.

My DH thinks all the parents in Bing land have ran away from their annoying children and so they're all looked after by foster carers

Flop is going to flip out one of these days. No one can be that calm.

Omfg if my child is like bing I will tell her to get in the bin

Flop is only like that for the cameras, though. As soon as Twirlywoos comes on, he and mama Elephant grab the bong and get foul-mouthed about their offspring.

@Tawdrylocalbrouhaha oh a little Bing must be exhausting.

What's worse is, he has watched so much Bing that he can now reenact and quote it. HOPPITY VOOOOOSH!

I need Flop drugs, is what I need.

@LRDtheFeministDragon haha! Now that's a show I'd watch. 'Flop: After Hours'. He can't rant about all the stupid shit Bing does.

Can rant*

@Longdistance your techniques sound foolproof. I don't know if I could deny DD was mine while she clings to my legs though.

I feel like I've been on heavy drugs if I have to watch it!

My nearly 2 year old DD does that too Q! She also likes to practice pushing me like Bing does to Sula. She also has a spinny wand and hula hoop and copies the episodes!! Oh, and banging on doors like she’s been locked in, yelling Flop at the top of her voice. So I think I do indeed have a Bing too.

And, I am Flop. So she says anyway...

She calls DH Amma. She must know our personalities pretty well

Oh, we probably watch too much Bing!

Apparently the size thing is because kids are ego centric so larger number than their parents.
Pando's mama needs to step up and sort out Pando. Sometimes I think Bing gets the rough end of the stick between Pando haha I'll keep spinning you or stay on my swing and Coco ha ill turn off the lights

Oh my god, OP, I had this EXACT conversation this morning 😂

Flop makes me feel inadequate as a parent, and he is a doorstop, so what does that make me?!

Pando is always taking his trousers off!

We'll pitch it, qcumber, I'm sure the Beeb would go for it.

I think the problem with Bing (show, not character) is that, unlike Peppa Pig, there's no outlet for adult irritation. On Peppa, at least you get mummy Pig's sarcasm about daddy Pig.

Could you also invite Nanny Plum and The Bear (from Masha) to appear on Flop - After Hours? I'm pretty sure they have some things to get off their chests.

@Tawdrylocalbrouhaha special guests always welcome!

What we need, said Flop, is a night without the children. Coco and Charlie's Dad can have them for once!!

Call Bear and Nanny Plum, I bet they need a night off.

6 hours later the Jager Bombs were lined up on the coffee table, Flop and Padget were making out beneath it, Bear was moaning to Amma about how this weird girl had just moved himself into his home and ruined his bachelor freedom as Amma nodded sagely.

In the hallway, the telephone rang unanswered. Coco's mother sat at the other end, sobbing. Pando was naked, Flop was slowly killing all the fish (butterfly was soooo 2016), Sula was wedged down the toilet after a game of hide and seek had gone terribly wrong, Coco was bossing every one around in her self important voice and Charlie was hiding in the washing machine with her secret bottle of gin

@SleepingStandingUp
You are not telling me Charlie is a girl?!
Someone really needs to talk to Pando about the pants rule.
Flop needs a

I love Flop but he does need to be more forceful with the other adults ie The green arsehole that looks after Pando.

“You can have a go on the swing when Pando does 10 swings”
Pando does 10. Green cunt keeps pushing. Doesn’t think to stop pushing and let Bing have his turn. Flop doesn’t stand up for bing at all.

Bing loses his shit, runs in front of Pandos swing and gets taken out. The little green bastard has the audacity to victim blame Bing when all he had to do was stop pushing and tell Pando to fucking share. And Flop enables him!

This episode makes me want to smash the tv tbh.

Carroty bagels. They’re a Bing thing.

Its a bing thing

I think flop is a wet blanket and needs to get a bit firmer with Bing. I'd struggle not to lose it with Bings constant whingeing tbh.

picklerick ARGH that one INFURIATES me. The green arsehole is called Padget and she is totally responsible for Bing getting a kick in the tits from Pando, she should have just stopped pushing the swing instead of allowing him to continue counting like that. It’s the one time I’m on Bing’s side.
