My main thing is that I can’t really stand shows that have no substance - I’d much rather have shows that I can watch together with my 7yo and have things to call back to when we’re having our own disagreements and conversations.
I do that with movies with my son, not cartoons. I want things with substance too, but not in cartoons and not too much of it (in cartoons I mean). Sure, a nice thought here and there, that’s OK, but elaborate digging into emotional subjects, that’s not for cartoons IMO.
I can definitely see there being parents out there who would rather let the TV parent though, and shows like this one enabling them… but on the other hand, I also think that’s a positive for the shows. Bad parents are going to be bad parents, so at least in those cases a kid can at least find some kind of role model.
That is true I guess… as much as I’d hate to admit it…
Either way, different strokes and all that. Hope you’ve managed to find some good ones to watch these days!
Not really, I kinda gave up… plus, I’m way too busy rasing the kid now, so I just watch Discovery Science to relax now. Kinda contradictory, I know, lol 😂.
I totally understand being too busy lol - I’ve barely watched anything besides the stuff that I watch with my kiddo ever since she was born, makes total sense
Yep, first time I watched a movie in… 🤔, oh about 4 years I guess, was this weekend… and I fell asleep half way through the movie 😒. What can I say, I was tired 🤷… I’m getting old I guess.
Yeah, I feel that too. I was nodding off last night sitting next to my wife while she played Zelda on our home theater. Crazy how parenting does that to us, eh?
Yeah 😂. To be honest, it looks like simple things, like they ask simple questions and the answers are usually not that hard to answer, but the volume of the questions, OMG 😂. At the end of the day you’re just tired, mentally mostly, but still, you’re tired nonetheless.
