'A strong no from us': Why new mum has banned Peppa Pig in her house

Beloved children's show Peppa Pig has come under fire from a new mum who says she refuses to let her child watch it.

Mum-of-one Katie took to Tiktok to share her list of banned kids' TV shows, with Peppa taking out the top spot.

In her post as katieandmarylou_xx which has since been watched by more than 2.3 million people, Katie explains why Peppa isn't a good role model for children to watch.

At the top of the list is the way the cartoon pig treats her family.

She writes, "Peppa fat shames daddy constantly", adding, "She's not a very nice big sister."

Katie also doesn't agree with Peppa's behaviour towards her friends either.

"She's always rude to her friends, she whines every time she loses," she says.

For these reasons she says the show is "a STRONG no from us."

She also worries Peppa has been "proven to be bad" for kids' brain development. 

Along with Peppa Pig, Katie has cut CBeebies's Bing, Little Princess from Channel 5, and Cartoon Network's Caillou out of their tv-viewing lives.

She also says she intends to ban Cocomelon once her daughter Mary Lou starts talking because it's American, whereas she is from the UK.

In her post she covers herself with a disclaimer: "ABSOLUTELY NO judgement to any parent who watches these with their child this is just my thoughts are preference! If you've got opposite views I'd actually love to hear them!"

However, it hasn't stopped the angry parents from coming for her.

One writes, "What do you let your kid watch? Antiques Roadshow?"

While another commented, "Wow you seem fun".

However, some parents could see her point of view.

One wrote, "I banned Peppa for the exact same reasons," while another added "definitely agree Peppa Pig made my niece super rude - we switched it out for Bluey instead".

This led to a stream of followers recommending Bluey as a better alternative, one writing, "100% agree with all these - my son's obsessed with Peppa, I'm trying to get him to like Bluey more."
