   Babby found a Peppa Pig video on YouTube kids.

   She got very excited and shouted “PIGGY PIGGY” and waved me over to see.

   Now, there are precious few things that are banned in this house. We’re pretty easy on the kids, we don’t overly hover or monitor what they watch.

   But that pig? That cunt pig?

   That is a fucking line, my friends.

   So I was immediately “nope. No. The fucking pig is banned” and turned it off.

   The look I got from the babby. She looked at me like I just murdered her favourite toy in front of her. It was a mix of anger, horror, shock and disgust.

     @MattHatton dude that pig, and any other professionally produced kids media, is a billion times better than the trash my kids watch on YouTube, which is mostly them watching other kids yell and scream and play with the same toys I bought them that they never play with.

     @fu I watch an occasional Ryan's World or Caleb and Mommy video with the grandsons (ages 5, 3, 2), but nothing like what you've described. Hopefully, these guys won't have unfettered Internet access until they're at least 16.
