I'm a bit confused about the roles...Mummy Pig works on her computer sometimes - but it always looks like she is writing a letter, rather than studying or working freelance (though how you would convey that...?!). As a mother who often works at home, perhaps I am analysing this aspect of things too much, though!!!

Try letting pre-schoolers watch Peppa Pig on BBC Alba, in Gaelic, and then keep your distance, but secretly listen to them rationalise what's going on. V funny. And not at all sexist.


Also they tire of it v quickly.


I'm trying not to ban anything for fear of creating whatever is the pre-school mentality's equivalent of martyrs.

Back to Peppa - it is a bunch of cartoon pigs running around in clothes and living in a house. It is so far removed from reality that I find it difficult to take its story lines and character development seriously or as a reflection on modern life. You need a big pinch of salt - preferably on the crackling!


Kids learn their attitudes to others from the real people around them.


That all sounds v serious and its not meant to - Peppa is just frivolous, take it or leave it.

    • What jab?  I had them many years ago to little or no effect.  I never went for the allergy testing where they jab you with various pollens to work out what sets you off.   Rely of tablets nowadays, so much better than the old days of piriton which sent me to sleep. June use to be hell from mid teens.
