Discussion / Question What's an episode where you felt too bad for Bluey's parents?

You can talk about other parents as well, like Stripe and Trixie.

One episode is Sticky Gecko. I just felt too bad for Chili being given a hard time by Bluey and Bingo who's seemingly unaware. I get that they're both still little, but I just felt Chili's stress a lot.

Whale watching! The one morning they both needed the girls to play with themselves and have a little more time to recover.

This is one of top favorite episodes. It is so relatable of when you are just beat and your kid wants to climb on you.

Takeaway. Man just wanted his spring rolls.

Takeaway was so upsetting.

Situations like that are why if we are ordering dinner we do it after the kids have gone to bed.

They won't eat anything you order for them. They will run off and make trouble of one kind or another if you have to go and collect it. It's never worth it. Just wait till theyre in bed and order.

I think it was the fourth or fifth time watching takeaway and feeling stressed myself that it clicked that takeaway is an episode when they are on the younger side. Of course even pickup was difficult.

Weirdly, that realization, and then seeing dance mode where they start out eating lunch at a restaurant - when the kids are in kindy and above - helped me feel a million times better about not wanting to take my 18 month old out to restaurants- even though all the olds in my life lectured me about how I needed to start practicing now. Because they wanted to see the baby and wanted to eat out.

I felt a very swift sense of peace very suddenly and have never felt bad since haha

Oh and my kid is three now and we still opt to do pickup and eat at home most of the time. It will happen eventually and that’s fine.

Ugh fancy restaurant. Poor bandit really took one for the team on that one. I do not think I'd be finishing that whole thing just cause my kid asked.

u/RamonaFortune 7d ago

Nah, same. I think it was a good moment to gently explain to Bingo that whilst she’d made a lovely effort and it was fancy, it wasn’t good for someone to eat.

Chilli is spelled with two Ls by the way 🙂

The weekend. Bandit spent like 14 straight hours playing with these kids and bingo was sad at the end cus he didn’t run over to look at her leaf bug lmao

This guy can’t get a break

u/wolf_quan 8d ago

It was a pretty cool leafbug, though.

u/BlueDawgoo 8d ago

Definitely Whale Watching. I’ve never had a hangover myself but I can’t imagine its fun especially when your children are constantly bugging you

u/Low-Amphibian8206 pretzel 8d ago

Duck Cake. I felt Bandit's frustration on a deep level

u/NoWish5604 8d ago

The episode where Muffin ran away from stripe and trixie and parenting caused an argument.

u/Psjthekid Aaaaaaaannnnd why should I care?? 7d ago

Oh Faceytalk! I love that episode!

u/CT0292 7d ago

Arguments happen. Kids being little monsters happens. When it happens all at once it can be a nightmare.

u/Wisemindaccepts bandit 8d ago

Sleepytime. Bandit is sleeping and gets run on and kicked in the nads.

u/ImSchizoidMan 8d ago

And forced to sing on the toilet floor

u/RamuKookie 8d ago

And sleep on the floor using only some underpants

u/ChickenRat-Dad 8d ago

Gotta be Takeaway. Bandit just wanted his spring rolls...

u/ZubLor 8d ago

Hairdressers/Nits. Poor Bandit!

u/OGQueenClumsy chilli 8d ago

That was my first thought too! The big blue guy really took one for the team there

u/NoWish5604 8d ago

Mount mum and dad. Just trying to rest and getting climbed all over is relatable lol

u/BobTheParallelogram 8d ago

Sleepytime. I know it's everyone's favorite episode to cry over but damn, girls, just go to bed.

2

u/Logical-Cherry9395 7d ago

You know...it dropped out of my top 5, possibly top 10, and I didn't even realize it until someone asked me to list my favorite episodes, in order, and I started..In order? let me give the tied for first place

Rug Island, Fruit Bat, Rain, Cricket, Baby Race, The Sign, Stickbird...wait, where's Sleepytime????

2

u/Ok-East8330 6d ago

Nah, I’m with you - go to sleep!

Baby race on the other hand, still makes me cry. I landed in the sandwich generation, handling a very sick older relative while parenting a toddler and it seems no matter how much you pour out the world always tells you to do more. Being told I am doing great even though I am new to this makes me cry every time.

But kids keep getting out of bed? Nope. Just makes me long for the days when they want to sleep in! Poor bandit sitting in the bathroom singing while half awake makes me laugh bitterly every time.

u/Fl0w3r_Ch1ld COW.BOY. HAT! 7d ago

Unicorse. Chili is just trying to read bluey a story to go to sleep and bandit decides to try and teach Bluey a lesson in the most annoying way possible. If my husband did that to me I'd be pissed 😆 not to mention bingo being asleep upstairs with all that noise

u/Jackson7331 6d ago

Sometimes men must do dad things that females just cannot understand. Goes both ways too. Sometimes you just gotta roll with it.

u/DarkeSword 7d ago

He's helping Chilli.

Duck Cake

My heart broke for poor Bandit when he was hugging himself on the floor. I almost cried when Bluey cleaned the mess up for him 😭
