Just remember: She's a Muffin. She's still baking ☺️

[Starmadien]

It's also important to remember that Bluey is 7 and Bingo is 5. Muffin is 3-4, and Socks is a baby. So Stripe and Trixie are still leaning how to parent.

Muffin is what Caillou SHOULD'VE been.

A catalyst for parents to take responsibility for their actions and be better for the sake of their children. It's honestly amazing how much negativity this character receives because even though she's had her moments, I always knew was never out of malice. I'm glad you finally broke down what makes this character work in the universe that the show is set in.

Muffin is cool y'all are just mean 😭

[Toshimi]

I think a lot of the "hate" may stem from people's unresolved anger at how they would be punished a lot for acting like Muffin did at her age. Muffin is not a bad kid, but they don't see it that way because *they* got called bad kids for it.

[BabiOni]

I was never allowed to be a child, specifically bc my parent couldn’t handle a child. Hearing that people. Choose to help children is literally the most heartwarming thing. Thank you 💕

[Nutellacat]

i don’t get the hate she is literally acting like a 4 year old, and the parenting style also influences a lot on her behavior.

[Universeofmany]

I've actually seen the theory that Muffin wasn't JUST wanting her performance as a ballerina to be perfect on a personal level but she actually was trying to give Socks a chance to guess correctly, which Socks was clearly struggling to do and is clearly upset about, with her being ecstatic when she correctly identifies her big sister as a ballerina.

[MoriMementa]

As someone who worked with a lot of four year olds in a less than stellar environment, I thought Muffin was a good example of how kids that age act. They need understanding and boundaries, not people calling them the devil incarnate.

[Ochako_Fangirl]

My brother and I were "easy children" growing up. No tantrums and no defying our parents. I struggle with empathy when it comes to children that misbehave because I simply never experienced it, since I found it easy to behave I feel frustration as to why other kids can't just be like that too. I have to remember that all kids are different and that the way I behaved stemmed from my environment, fear and a bit of trauma. I was still bad in other ways, like being manipulative and getting my brother in trouble. This video grounded me back to that mentality and it reminded me to extend understanding when it comes to misbehaving kids, thanks!

[pagesinyellow]

People have been fed a diet of children's shows where the main character child is presented as idealised. This shift towards a more accurate representation of a child of a certain age is difficult for some people to comprehend. None of the characters in Bluey are perfect and that's what makes them seem more real.

[theforgetfulalchemist]

I have heard of parents skipping Muffin episodes during family viewing because "she acts disrespectful" like she's not acting normal developmentally and those episodes could be used to connect with and teach a child in the same stage

[RaspberryPastry]

Muffin being a very common very normal level of chaotic for a toddler feels like a reality check for a few people watching that just doesn't register. If you hate her, you might not be ready to love a child of your own who's probably going to have the same kind of moments. It's not all bad, but it's unrealistic to expect a 3 year old to have total self control

[jessisthebest]

As a daycare teacher, not all toddlers are as high maintenance as muffin. But this is still a very realistic look at age appropriate behaviors, and the way parents often react to having a more high maintenance toddler.

[platuni]

As the parent of a 2 year old, seeing muffin is a breath of fresh air. She showcases alot of the challenges a younger child brings, but we also get a glimpse of the sweet kid she is at heart. It's also refreshing to hear your take on this, it's important to remember who kids are as people, and where they are developmentally

[staceyhunt]

My kiddos are neurodivergent, and actually, they find Muffin particularly helpful. They can look at Muffin and see she behaves in a way that often isn't ideal, and see that those around her understand she doesn't do it to be unkind. She just doesn't know yet. It not only helps them when handling themselves, but when handling each other. They'll talk about parallels to the show to behaviour in each other and it helps them process it and access more compassionate approaches.
I won't lie. Muffin was not my favourite in early days. But 1) She is definitely the one you get to watch grow and mature the best and 2) she helps kids see and understand kids sometimes aren't obedient and nice, and that's okay. It can be handled and forgiven.

[XanSprouse]

Once I realized that Muffin was not the trope for an only child I loved her. She’s a great kid. She’s very willing to share, she’s thankful, and she loves her cousins. Just look at how she gets 1300 dollarbucks for the granny mobile then becomes helpful Super Granny. But being a kid is frustrating as hell, and Muffin embodies that.

[augustseggie]

How can you hate her? She's a 4 year old doing 4 year old things my sisters acted the same way. it's completely normal.

[StarKyoujo]

I have run into people who say they skip the Muffin episodes/dislike her/etc and yeah, she can be over the top and mean and bratty but she's a child. A literal toddler. I have never wanted children but even I can understand that this is just what children go through. Maybe it's because I went through watching my nephew go through all of these stages, I don't know, but it feels incredibly cruel to place so much on a 3-4 year old and to say that you hate them.

[miaz]

I work at a preschool and I knew a kid just like Muffin. He either acted how I expected or in a completely unexpected way and to be honest I didn't like him for a time. But that was because I was new and it took me a while to realize he's still growing, he was only 3! So we grew together, I learned to understand that it'll take a while for him to learn social skills and more complex emotions and he learned said skills and emotions with a little help from me here and there.
Now when I look back I'm proud to say that he's one of my most well remembered kids
