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.

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
