My 4 year old has watched Bluey like 47 times this week. 47 TIMES. I can quote episodes now. Help.
Oh man, I feel this in my soul. My three year old has done the same thing with multiple shows. Just embrace it, you'll survive those 47 Bluey episodes.
47 times is rookie numbers at my house with three kids. At least Bluey is actually good and you're learning something decent while you suffer through it.
47 times is actually pretty normal for that age. My 4 year old rotates between like 5 shows and watches each one on repeat until I'm pretty sure I'm losing my mind. But here's the weird part: they actually learn stuff from repetition even if it makes your brain feel like scrambled eggs.
My kids went through the same thing with their current favorite. My tip is don't fight it too hard. They'll eventually move on to the next obsession. In the meantime just accept that you're going to hear the theme song in your dreams.
Bluey is actually a gift because at least the show is genuinely good. Could be worse. My back hurts just thinking about some of the stuff I've had to watch on repeat.
The fact that you can quote episodes now means you're winning though. You're literally learning parenting tips from Bandit while your kid watches. That's playing 4D chess.
Bluey is actually one of the better shows if you have to hear it constantly. The episodes have real messages and the parents aren't terrible. Could be worse. Could be that one show with the weird creature noises that give me nightmares.
At least it's Bluey and not something actually annoying. The parents are pretty cool and the animation is legit. I've definitely caught myself watching it without the kids on and that's when you know a show is solid.
47 times is rookie numbers. My 4 year old is on probably lap 200 of Bluey by now. I've legitimately adopted Bandit's parenting style because I hear it every single day and it's honestly not terrible advice.
Have you tried rotating in other shows or is she hard locked on Bluey only? Sometimes a little variation helps but I get it if she just wants the same thing over and over.

That's the life with a 4 year old right there. Could be worse though, my kid has dragged me through way worse cartoons. Bluey's actually solid so just go with it.
