AIBU to consider the parents from Bluey as my parenting role models?

I mean, they’re anthropomorphic dogs.

I really don't like Bluey.So I've voted YABU. However if you want to then go for it.

You’re literally the only person I’ve ever heard say they don’t like it! All good though, we all have our likes and dislikes.

I have a lot of ‘WWCD’ (what would Chilli do) moments.

I personally have found the episode Sticky Gecko better for managing my stress getting them out of the door, than parenting books, therapy and/or antidepressants 😂

They are AMAZING role models.

Well I'd much rather take advice from Chilli and Bandit than some of the so called parenting experts or parenting book so YANBU in my opinion.

My husband’s life motto is “Be More Bandit” so YNBU 😅

Bluey is basically an animated parenting course and we should all be like Bandit and Chilli.
Although they’ve set the bar pretty high for making up games 😀

Wasn't it part funded by the Australian government to be a good example of parenting?

It's the only thing I can stand being on the TV all day when we are stuck indoors, I completely agree they are the parents I want to be!

It was more like Tom and Jerry where I grew up. Consequently I always have a frying pan close to hand - just in case...

Bandit Heeler is a role model and an icon for fathers everywhere.
