I can understand not liking it, given your explanation.
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 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.
Either way, different strokes and all that. Hope you’ve managed to find some good ones to watch these days!

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.

That is true I guess… as much as I’d hate to admit it…

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.
I actually love answering my daughter’s questions - It’s my wife that gets exhausted by them lmao. She’s the kind that asks questions like “Why are the pixels on the car radio so big, and whats in them that makes them green?”
I love answering questions as well, but I get tired at the end of the day. Yeah, my wife is also like that, so that’s why he usually comes to me for Q&A’s. I don’t mind, I love it as well, brushes on what I know and how/why things are what they are. But, as I said, at the end of the day, I’m just tired. Work, plus that, plus everything else going on in life and at 10PM I’m just drained, I just hit the hey 🤷.
