Comparison - Bluey Gets Therapized 

Someone in my life likes to tell me "comparison is the thief of Joy" & they often compare me to others wanting me to be like other people instead of appreciating my unique qualites.

Or anyone struggling in general

@@HopeGardner3amed 100% agree. I'm not a parent, but that cartoon dog telling me I'm doing great makes me tear up from feeling so validated.

​@@emilyprice178 Same

yeah this episode hit me in the feels and I teary every time I watch it.

As a mother of two toddlers, yes it definitely feels that way. I've also had people tell me this is real life, and it's honestly something that should be said to every mum at some point.

:|]

I see your comments everywhere! Do we have the same recommended? Lol

That’s definitely a trait of hers we see in other places too. I’m thinking specifically of Unicorse, where she’s getting annoyed at Bluey for not being able to go to sleep, and is clearly trying very hard to not be annoyed because she knows it’s not a good reaction to something Bluey can’t help.

It could also be part of Chili's worry because she may have infertility issues so she isn't sure if she's doing it right or 'best' for Bluey.

The ep where chilli mentioned Wendy helped was “sticky gecko” IF anyone was wondering

I also wonder if sone of her frustrations are she feels she needs to do better so she could “pay back” the kindness Wendy gave her when pregnant. So there’s a lot of complex, contradicting feelings that result in competition

There’s also the fact that Judo and Bluey are very close in age, so not only was Wendy good to Chilli, but she provided for them when she would have been pregnant or recovering from childbirth and taking care of a newborn herself. So Wendy becomes a standard to Chilli of what she thinks she *should* be able to do as a mother, which brings in another element of competition. Chilli slips up in her story and says they would finally win against “Judo’s mom. I mean, Judo.” She felt herself needing to compete with Wendy.

to be fair...perhaps he was passed out on the floor in the beginning was because he had stayed up with Bluey the night before and was tired (you do see him later trying to get her to go to sleep).

Omg I didn’t even really focus on that! He was gettin used to that parenting life lmao, my guy works hard for his family

Watching Bandit struggle as a new dad in the background is the icing on the cake of this episode.😂

Saaaame, i was bawling with Onesies and I was just in the middle, like… how dare they to make me cry so hard in so little time? 😂

Same here, it was just on my recommendeds on RU-vid, I heard good things so I went "eh why not". I immediately fell in love and wanted to watch the whole series.

Ohhhh it was definitely sleepy time wasn’t it… it was… amazing

​@@LetGregorLive is that the one with Bingo sleeping in her own bed for the first time? That one had me crying at how sweet it was

Awwww😢😢😢

Bluey: Why did I start to walk in the kitchen? Bingo: Maybe you saw something you wanted. 🥲

​@@theGhostWolfe This is the bit that makes me cry!

That is actually kind of sad for bandit, right? We have a daughtercand she too is just fixated on me which be quiet challangeing at times. The father, who really does a lot, bribging her to bed, changing diapers, takibg care of her etc may hardly enter her room atm (she is 2 year old). In the episode we see how much bandit does, he is passed out because of sleep deprevation, he helps in the house, he sibgs late at night for bluey and he plays with her, but even at the beginning he just gets tossed aside, for she just wants to see her mom, she learns to walk because of her mum. While my husband would never resent our daughter for it, it can feel frustrating, giving so much love abd always being tossed aside, called to leave, screamed at just for trying to help, while I as the mother can basically yell at her and she will still rather be with me...

​@@89taklungit evens out. Mom gets to be part of the furniture sometimes. Ever-present as far as comfort, so dad is more fun and interesting. I'm sure this happens in any dynamic where one parent is the primary caretaker too. Not just the mommy pillar dynamic.

RIGHT? Hahaha! And boy, do they! :D

Season 2 had gut punches all back to back. You have Baby Race as discussed, Octopus - The fear of not being the fun dad, And Aging Grandparents.

He wasn't afraid of being a dad too. How many dads are afraid to handle their kids or commit to being a dad? Bandit is awesome.

@@laiorwyn OMG yes! know he's just a cartoon character but he is an awesome Dad.

I love that he was just so excited to see Bluey just being a baby. There's videos of me as a baby just vibing and my dad is in the background just being my biggest cheerleader

You're doing great. ❤🤗

Thank you. 🥹

Your doing great luv

Congratulations on your baby!

The writer actually said in an interview that he was originally thinking about tossing the script for Baby Race because he didn't think it would go over well. However he asked his wife for a second opinion since it's so heavily focused on a new moms perspective and she deeply loved it, so he kept the script and made the episode.

@@somethinunameit637 thank you 😊

Mazal tov! You got this!

It was your decision to have plagues. Deal with it.

And it also shows that Chilli was questioning how good of a mother she was when really she was a great mom and Bluey loved her.

Bluey even pushed Bandit out of the way just so she could reach out for Chili instead

It's so heartwarming to know that Chilli ultimately let go of the competitive side of it, and didn't let it spiral into a sort of hateful envy. By complimenting someone else's child, she embodies a true kind of motherly love, that extends to children that aren't her own. I think that's beautiful, since it's so easy for parents to fixate on only the good of their own children. I love that they included that bit between Chilli and Judo 💖

She rolled too?

Heh. "Through every step"

@@Kram1032 Pun unintended

Hope you had fun watching it. My boyfriend and I are binging S2 and we're having a blast, crying and hollering at most of the episodes ahahah. This show is a masterpiece.

*We're* crying from cartoon dogs

MOOD!

Same here😭😭😭😭

Similar experience here: adhd vs HFA/aspergers, but initially misdiagnosed as “high functioning aspergers” (ie, they didn’t really consider adhd or take social trauma into account, so I wound up with a diagnosis that just didn’t fit at all.) Which, now as an adult? I can see that my “social struggles” were caused by things like the constant bullying and harassment I got from my classmates as an Easy Target (ie, adhd rejection sensitivity and emotional disregulation) + my teachers didn’t like me and poisoned the well for the next year, especially since I was headstrong enough to “well that’s stupid” with Female Socializing vs General Child Socializing (ie, boys got to do and get away with more, and not be bullied so much for their interests.) Fast forward: My social anxiety is now pretty awful (ie, trauma, and disassociating into social scripts vs having the self confidence I can handle myself, but trying to bravado my way through, anyway.) BUT, what I became GOOD at? Better than the neurotypicals at? Body and social awareness. Anticipating needs before they even happen ‘cause I put so much effort into basically restructuring my brain placidity a bit. …granted it’s still exhausting, because I am spending so much more energy to stay Focused/Present in a social situation that I often find Boring unless it’s actively engaging or I can stem on something to keep Focused/Aware and redirect my discomfort (usually a phone or bit of jewelry. Or just that Standard Hyperactive Squirming I just never outgrew no matter how much my teachers hated me for it; if I don’t move, I get vertigo, so.) But, I can do it. I can point out when someone isn’t being fair to someone else. I still feel better when I DON’T have to mask or overcompensate for something NTs don’t have to fight with their brain against + often don’t have this level of trauma/AFE’s in but…I can manage now. (Then stress-nap later but…y’know. That’s what therapy is for hahhh…)

I love this one-the parallel between Bluey giving babysitter putdowns another try and Frisky taking a chance on love again is genius!

Also when Bandit says, "No, Mum, that's not legal anymore!"

Hi, do you remember the name of the episode?

@@darknezfire it’s called Space

SAME!!! Muffin is such a ball of chaos and energy XD.

I was so distracted by Muffin's antics in that episode, i completely forgot that Socks was on-screen until she finished her drawing

Same! I love Facey talk 😂

i would rewatch faceytalk anytime im feeling sad, seriously that episode would make me laugh so hard 😂

Oooh that's another really good one! And the lesson is SO great

I had the same thought! lol.

dance mode would be an amazing one to cover, as it's all about people learning to communicate their needs. Such an important lesson for children

You're so welcome!

I can't imagine anyone more hardworking than a mom! i am sure you are doing great. I feel like so many moms are know will be like, "I felt so bad after work I had to take my kid to this activity or that appointment and instead of making a home cooked meal we had a frozen or we had take out. And then after dinner I made sure they did their homework and I put them to bed and do laundry. I feel guilty for not doing more." I am thinking not doing more? You are literally 100% responsible for another human being besides yourself. How can you beat yourself up for not doing more? And I hope you don't ever beat yourself over the head. I am sure there are days when you put your baby down in the evening and you may look around and think you have things to do like cleaning or laundry but look at it this way? You have those things to do because you are a good mom who is taking care of her baby and making her little one her top priority! Just take a few deep breaths and realize you can't do it all, but you are doing what needs to be done and that is what matters and that is a lot!
