Be Excellent To Each Other

Read that as contamination at first, which I thought was entirely appropriate when it comes to most children's TV.

Olly is obsessed with Transformers: Rescue Bots at the second. It's actually not that irritating, fortunately.

A neighbour gave us "The cat in the hat" on DVD as he ended up with two copies for some reason? The kids love it and have wanted to watch it every day for the past couple of weeks.

It's not at all annoying.

**Edit** Also, released in 2003! Wow... 13 years old. I wouldn't have said it was that old. How time flies!

Because I'm an excellent parent*, I refuse to let the kids rewatch things endlessly. If they're watching something on YouTube or whatever that they've seen before, I'll make them flip to something else.

Also, I put a wonder woman animted movie on last night and it started with a full blown violent battle with beheading and death. It was awesome. Then it moved onto thinly veiled sexual innuendos. The boy (3 years old) loved it.

Like I said, excellent parent

*Assessment pending

ChuchuTV is fucking hell THE NOISE

I'm a terrible parent, so Onora watches loads of adverts and YouTube. It's turning her into a massively spoiled little consumer, but it does make me laugh sometimes, as she says the exact wording from the ads as if they were her own.

"But Daddy, EVERY cake's a winner if you use Stork with butter!"

And so on.

Paw Patrol is okay actually. There's a lot worse out there. Onora was obsessed with Ninjago, but then she read a story where a nasty snake hypnotises several of the ninja and make them fight each other, which she DID NOT LIKE.

She is now obsessed with Pokemon.

Oh, and she wants to be a YouTube star. She has made several videos of "Onnie TV".

I patiently recorded them, and then didn't upload them to YouTube.

Izzy did similar recently but about Vanish something or other, while we were in the cleaning aisle in tesco. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.

How come?

There's your answer. Poor child. Being deprived of being a YouTube star.

Because nobody needs to see a five year old spend nearly eight minutes opening a packet of little toys.

You'd be surprised.

It'd be other five year olds.

By the time she grows up the only career options open to anyone will be youtube star, professional e-gamer or celebrity chef. Everything else will be done by robots. You may as well get her started now, pad out her CV.

She spends a lot of time watching similar videos, but they are all run by adults, with the kids getting vaguely involved along the way. On "Onnie TV", I get told off for talking.

There's the USP.

I've seen a number of channels where kids do just that. mostly with Thomas stuff!

One show I do like watching is Timmy Time, lack of general dialogue and nice animation!
