    ‘Bluey’ Praised For Tackling Difficult Subject Of Walking In On Parents During Their Scheduled Weekly Sex

    NEW YORK—Earning widespread praise from adult viewers, a new episode of the animated children’s TV series Bluey tackled the difficult subject of walking in on your parents during their scheduled weekly sex, sources confirmed Monday. “We watch Bluey every week as a family, and I tell you, when Bandit sat Bluey down to explain to her that what she saw was just him and Mum doing something the therapist made them promise they’d do every Sunday night at precisely 7:30 p.m., I teared up,” said 39-year-old father Sean Fraser, who called the episode in which the 7-year-old blue heeler puppy walks into her parent’s bedroom and watches them engage in sexual intercourse for a full four seconds before they realize she is present “one of the best episodes of children’s TV, or any TV” he had seen in his life. “There’s not a single other children’s show on the air like that. Peppa Pig wouldn’t dare. My wife and I just felt so seen. Our son did, too.” Fraser added that for his own parenting he planned to borrow the episode’s idea for a game called “Six Hundred,” in which Bluey goes to her room and counts slowly to 600 every Sunday night at 7:30 p.m.

    That’s so cute!

    I remember when the Bluey record came out a lot of people were trying to get their hands on it. Since the soundtrack was apparently so good I decided to watch it but then realized it was actually a toddler show for toddlers and couldn’t handle the voices. Really wanna see what a whole episode looks like though

        Aw that’s really cool. I imagine that it’s really helpful to be able to somewhat passively take in those lessons too. I know a lot of us havent had the best role models for parenting and I imagine it can be a really stressful process to feel like you’ve gotta figure it all out on your own
