    I watch it cuz its healing my inner child. I grew up in an abusive home so seeing these parents never yell or hit their kids. Seeing them embrace & cherish parts of the kids that I was once punished for is healing.

    One day I asked my mom if she wanted to watch Bluey one day and all she said was "No, I'm not a five year old." About a week later I asked her again and she just sighed and gave me the remote. I made her watch Sticky Gecko, Housework, Promises and of course Rain. The first three she chuckled a few times and would say it was a cute episode. At the end of Rain though, she had a HUGE smile on her face and said that it was really sweet. I gave her a look of, 'told you it was a good show.'

    I saw my first episode of Bluey on a long-haul flight international flight. It was the middle of the night and I couldn't sleep. I was a 69 year old guy at the time and I was smitten by it. It cheered my boredom and made me long for home. Home is Brisbane, Australia. That's where Bluey is made and set. If you come from Brisbane you will recognise the style of house and some of the outdoor locations.

    i'm a 23 year old with no kids and i watch bluey religiously. at first i started watching it after my epilepsy diagnosis because my neurologist recommended it as nice colors and easy plot so it can help slow down my brain function when i'm overwhelmed/overstimulated but it's so much more than that now. i live in a high stress, abusive household so watching the gentle parenting play out and the way the kids respond is so healing. i can't imagine a family that doesn't hit or yell so escaping into bluey is nice. seeing my siblings in the kids in the show is just extra special that endears me to it further and putting it on helps calm them down when nothing else will.

      I don't have kids too and I NEVER WILL, but I LOVE this show with ALL MY HEART, I JUST REALLY REALLY WISH I could leave my world behind and go and live in the WONDERFUL WORLD that is Bluey. ☺
      It also makes me happy that there are other fans of this show who don't have kids themselves! ☺

    as most of the episodes involve everyday situations it is easy to identify, the show also shows a very fun dynamic between the characters.
    and the fact that parents are affectionate with their daughters and give them comfort when they need it, makes me so happy because I didn't have that when I was a child.

    Bluey gave me the childhood I never had. My mom was too busy to pay attention to me. Dad wasn't around, and my brother and I never got along. This show gives me a way to relive my childhood in a happy and healthy way, and that's why it's so comforting to me. I relate to much to Muffin, and Bingo is just like little kid me. It gives me a way to step back and be a kid again.

  • @foxtatertot
    @foxtatertot Год назад +9

    This show gives me so much comfort because of the reason why it gives many other people comfort, healing my inner child.
    I really relate with Bingo in particular because I was a sensitive child, and although my mom was very nice and comforting for me, my dad would constantly invalidate my feelings. And my mom and dad are seperated, so growing up, I switched between their households every week.
    But, one episode that isnt much of a favorite for many people, but really gets me as someone who really relates to Bingo is "Dance Mode". When Bandit accidentally takes the chip that Bingo had been saving, and Bingo gets upset and Bandit apologizes and offers a way to make it up to Bingo. But I know that if it were me as a child and my dad in that situation, my dad would tell me that I'm overreacting and that I should just shut up about it. So seeing Bandit actually validate and acknowledge Bingo's feelings after he accidentally stole the chip was so healing for me to see..
    Just Bingo and Bandit's relationship in general brings me a lot of comfort.

Just be sure to take things slow and use your friends and family as a resource of supportive people in your life, the rest will come later.

    It’s a really minor detail, but the episode where Bandit and Chili are hungover but still making sure their kids are taken care of really struck a nerve for me.
