To complain to bbc about CBeebies

119 replies

usermumnurse · 23/11/2023 22:22

Their bedtime hour is so good between 6-7 for helping my toddler wind down - after in the night garden before the story - a CBeebies logo pops up and kids are shouting CBeebies which often stimulates my toddler who by this point is usually chilled out and ready to go to bed after the story & song. Just me or anyone else??

The time has come to say goodnight, it's the end of a lovely day.

Definitely, one hundred per cent, complain.

Copy in the Director-General and write it in green ink, so they know you’re serious.

Edited

😂😂😂 the comments are sending me 🤣

If something makes your child wide awake, don't allow them to have it before bedtime.

If Mumsnet does another book I nominate this to be in the key pieces of advice section.

The time has come to say goodnight, it's the end of a lovely day.

We don't always watch it these days (DS went through a massive phase last year) but when we do, we wave night night to all the characters as they go to bed. DS is convinced Charlie from Charlie and Lola goes to sleep on Sarah and Duck's floor. 🤣

OP this is a very serious situation that your children even know what a TV is. Obviously watching TV will cause your kids to grow a third arm where their ear ought to be (and TVs have plastic in them which is even worse) so it's best to just take your TV to the dump right now to be on the safe side.

The bedtime story isn't very relaxing at all, not when Dave Grohl is on - I'm left a little excitable myself. Takes me a while to calm down afterwards too.

Canisaysomething · 23/11/2023 23:22

Screens are scientifically proven to do the opposite of wind children down before bed. What you are requesting from the bbc is impossible.

Pinkypunker · 23/11/2023 23:31

If anything I thought you would be complaining about In The Night Garden! It's so psychedelic and jarring compared to the programmes before. Definitely wakes my children up again.

😂 this has to be a joke

Don’t bite people for goodness sake

YABU. Not all kids go to bed at that time, and you can calm them back down when you are doing their bedtime story.

This - mine didn’t and the bedtime hour used to make me very envious of those other parents about to put their toddlers to bed.

PickAChew · 23/11/2023 23:47

When mine were little (one is 20, soon, so way back!) the idents in the bedtime hour were much more gentle than earlier in the day.

I'm dying 😆

IDontLoveTheWayYouLie · 23/11/2023 23:59

Do you not know how to turn your telly off? Get it off before the logo pops up and read the kid a story.

Paddleboarder · 24/11/2023 00:03

I obviously totally failed - my youngest used to watch that and then went to bed at 9pm, the same time as big brother. The house was riotous with playing even after In the Night Garden, and my poor eldest had to manage without because it hadn’t been invented in time to lull him to sleep…

justanothernamechangemonday · 24/11/2023 00:18

The time has come, to say good night, to say sleep tight to the morning light. And also to stop sniffing the glue.

DonnaBanana · 24/11/2023 00:22

Skip the TV and do something more traditional like all go to sleep at sundown on some bales of hay in the corner of your single room house.

bakewellbride · 24/11/2023 00:26

Ours goes off after jo jo and gran gran

Flandango · 24/11/2023 00:33

I am with you OP. And do you know why it is? The BBC are woke communists. They won't rest until every toddler in the country is having a tantrum.

Don't forget to contact the Daily Mail!

And be ready with a sad face and a valuation of your house.

Stop using tv to parent your children and do it yourself???

There's always one. 🙄
