To think Children's Telly portrays well old fashioned stuff?

[Stroo]

All yesterday Cbeebies bleating on about hanging washing out. DS now wants to hang some washing out. Now i know it's supposedly better for the environment but it turns your towels into sandpaper and is laborious and the feminist in me refuses to hang washing out!

Also, help mummy with the cooking programmes drive me nuts! What meals do these mum's cook? - nothing that involves hot ovens, sharp knives and raw meat obviously.

Even the cbeebies house is strangely fifties looking.

what is going on?

You don't hang any washing out?

That's nothing to do with an old-fashioned/modern divide.

Don't know what that's to do with. Unusual personal preference.

oh I see you've been pounced on, stroo! Don't be sad.

I cannot, in fact, really answer your op because I don't watch cbeebies progs any more. But I'll come up with an opinion anyway.

Little kids' shows will prob always revolve around home tasks because they spend a lot of time in that sort of environment and small children find washing, cooking tasks enormous fun.

and I agree withyou re towels. I don't hang towels out any more since I got a tumbledrier. The dds' lacerations have since healed up nicely

Blimey, we even make our own bread here and the girls wear frilly aprons. I thought everyone seemed very progressive and anti-gender stereotype on Cbeebies. Gets on my wick occasionally.
