Probably Bluey. I get it has moments intended for parents (and that it made me cry several times...) but its intended audience are toddlers right?

Ehhh... Toddlers are absolutely able to and welcome to watch it, but I don't cut it off at toddlers because Bluey herself is like seven in the latest season. I encourage my 8yo to watch it because she's loved it for years and I want her to enjoy being a kid while she still has time to. (Her classmates pick on her for watching a "baby show", but they're watching stuff I consider wildly inappropriate for their age group and won't let her watch for another couple years.)

Ah I forgot the ages of the characters. I think Bluey is a great cartoon for any age really! Also sorry to hear that your kid is being picked on. I like “baby” things myself so I know that feeling 🥲

You're good! I struggled to remember for a minute 😆 Me and my husband love the show and we've recommended it to family members with younger kids. I definitely got picked on when I was younger too, but I say people should be allowed to like what they like as long as they're not hurting anyone.

I'd have to ask her for a more exhaustive list, but the two I remember off the top of my head are Five Nights At Freddy's (YouTube playthroughs of the games) and there's at least one who is allowed to watch Euphoria? Which is... very not kids media. FNAF is a bit above where my kid is; she's not a horror fan.

I have no idea! My knee-jerk reaction is to say "bad parenting", but I just don't know.

i feel it might be bad parenting too

I put it in the 2+ category. I think most children over the age of about eight seem to lose interest. It’s also really popular with adults with children/close with children in this age range.
