    Bandit, from the cartoon Bluey, is a good role model dad. He has two little girls and he is always playing with them, usually trying to teach them to be better at the same time. He also sets boundaries in a polite and respectful way. He owns up to his mistakes and he doesn’t lie to his kids or manipulate. He knows he’s not perfect, but it doesn’t hurt to try, right? He is also a good husband to his wife Chili. I just wonder how much weed he smokes off screen to be so tuned into the moment.

      I love how everyone in bluey just feels like a person. Like when bandit is sleeping and dreaming of playing football with his mates. In many kids shows parents have no personality beyond being parents. Bluey is different.

        Yeah or Relax and Stickbird where Chili can’t relax her mind, and then Bandit is mulling over something on the beach. Then they get back from their trip in Show and Tell, and suddenly Bandit wants to buy a surfboard. But we all know he probably won’t have much time for it.
