To think Horrid Henry’s parents are the horrid ones..?

Watching Horrid Henry and his parents are complete dickheads. Playing favourites, letting Peter get away with murder and always being mean to Henry? I know I sound like a ten year old but I actually feel sorry for Henry 😂

What TV parents can’t you stand? (Topsy and Tim’s are also annoying in their own ways..)

I will not have a word said about Dave from Alvin. If I had a list of entirely inappropriate crushes, Dave would be at the top.

Who let her put a chicken in a position of power?! Utter madness. Paw Patrol is my least favourite.

The Night Garden parents worry me, where the hell are they when their children are running around alone after dark?

Jamieson90 · 13/12/2018 17:46

I have to agree! They really are horrid to him.

To echo what others have said, I watched Home Alone 1 & 2 recently after missing them for years, and I couldn't help but notice how horrible they are to him too!

Suziepoozie · 13/12/2018 19:56

Home Alone is so frustrating, the parents are such knobs.

Boss Baby on Netflix is another one, the grandma is dire

Dyls is too preoccupied to parent Norman price.

He is clearly Sam's son (they are the only two redheads) and she is trying to get over him by unsuccessfully flirting with the bus driver.

SneakyGremlinsBrokeTheSleigh · 13/12/2018 20:05

This has been bugging me for YEARS.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 13/12/2018 20:09

I loved the Bing books - this was about 11 years ago when DS was little - and I’ve not seen the tv show. I’m sad he’s now a little shit. It’s a bing swing thing!

PermanentlyFrizzyHairBall · 13/12/2018 20:14

YANBU. His parents are totally responsible for his behaviour and Peter's behaviour which is super annoying!

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 13/12/2018 20:28

Isn't there a theory that Norman is the love child of Dilys & Sam? So the reason that he causes so much chaos is so that Sam HAS to come out and save the day so Norman gets daddy time!

I worry for would love to see the episode where Norman gets hormones and discovers "Fire Starter" by Prodigy.

Alllllllvinnnnnnnn

I LOVED the chipmunks cartoon when I was little. My daughter likes the live action movies, but they are awful. But I still cried at the end when Dave adopted the chipmunks so they could be his real sons. Blush

Suziepoozie · 13/12/2018 20:39

I swear if there is one more fucking firework party in fireman Sam they all deserve to burn. STOP HAVING FIREWORK PARTIES, STOP USING CHIP PANS AND CHECK ALL THE LOCKS. Sam should quit, he’s done an awful job of teaching them fire safety.

My first crush was Fred from Scooby Doo (the old 1970s cartoon version). I still love a man in an ascot.

Suziepoozie · 13/12/2018 20:46

I was a Shaggy girl myself, I still love useless spongers 😂

ButtMuncher · 13/12/2018 21:26

My first crush was Alvin from the Chipmunks 😂

I love Ben and Holly (just as well as my sons addicted) but LOATHE Peppa. Stupid bloody sanctimonious shit. Bing annoys the living fuck out of me. I remember watching HH with my DSS and thought his parents were arseholes. I bet I'll have to relive that again with DS!

Suziepoozie · 13/12/2018 23:18

Peppa is sassy though, I like that. It’s the a at the end of her name I hate.

I'd love to punch Bing in the face.Xmas Grin

CanaryFish · 13/12/2018 23:23

Not parents but I find that the trolls in Trolls the beat goes on can be quite horrible to each other!!
Lying, stealing and mocking people who are different is fine as long as you’re having fun!
Shame because I love the movie

Hohocabbage · 13/12/2018 23:25

I have a Henry and a Peter at home, in behaviour terms. I’d better check I’m not like the mum.

Caxx · 13/12/2018 23:36

I have a Henry he has driven the mum to that behaviour trust me

thegreatbeyond · 13/12/2018 23:45

I want to know what Flop from Bing is even supposed to be. They are all 'parented' by weird sacklike creatures.

RebeccaCloud9 · 13/12/2018 23:49

Mummy pig is only mean to daddy pig because he's so annoying with his 'I'm an expert at that' up himself attitude.

HildaZelda · 14/12/2018 00:03

My brother had a crush on April O' Neill from the turtles.
Agree that Peppa is a complete brat, but in fairness Mummy pig is a bit of a swine .....

JudasPrudy · 14/12/2018 00:13

Postman pat constantly leaves his children to go pissing around the country on some special delivery service mission. His poor wife. How about putting your family first instead of your job for once pat!

You know who is a good parent though? Flop.
