Daddy Pig loves a dinner party. Everyone loves a dinner party!
I haven’t decided whose fault it is yet but last night was a disaster.
It marked the end of a particularly stressful week. The little piggies broke my computer and I lost a whole days work. George caught a cold from jumping in muddy puddles which I am entirely blaming daddy pig for. And Peppa had a falling out with Suzy so there was much drama. Not to mention that we had the ‘joy’ of the playgroup teddy come to stay. As if this wasn’t bad enough, Emily and Edmond Elephant had the teddy before us and Mummy Elephant filled out a whopping 4 pages of activities they had done with the teddy. Seriously? Who has that much time? So now I have to find 4 pages worth of activities to do with a bloody teddy bear.
Last night I had invited Granny and Grandpa pig over for a dinner party.
I slaved away in the kitchen all morning preparing everything. I spent the afternoon tidying the house, and doing 5 loads of laundry thanks to a wet week and lots of bloody muddy puddles. I left myself just enough time for a quick shower before Granny and Grandpa pig arrived. That quick shower lasted all of 2 minutes, yet still had 5 interruptions from the little piggies. Can’t a pig shave her legs in peace!
The one thing that I asked Daddy pig to do was put Peppa and George to bed and make sure their room was tidy. Ok, so that’s two things, but it’s not exactly rocket science is it?
For some reason Granny pig thought the little piggies would still be awake when she arrived, even though they have had the same bedtime since they were babies. She insisted on checking on them which is when the evening started to unravel.
A whole 30 seconds after their arrival.
Daddy pig had not tidied their room like I asked, which is why Granny pig stepped on a squeaky toy and woke Peppa and George up.
Half an hour she was up there whist I was desperately trying to save dinner from being ruined. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was feeding them Percy Pigs rather than getting them back to sleep. Grandpa pig went up to ‘help’, and by ‘help’ I mean wind the little piggies into an excited frenzy. Before I knew it there was all sorts of shenanigans going on upstairs, and none of it involved little piggies going to sleep.
It had now been an hour since we were supposed to eat and quite frankly dinner was beyond saving, and I was bloody starving. Daddy pig and I had some harsh words in hushed tones in the kitchen. I blamed him. He of course blamed Granny pig.
I may have threatened him with sleeping on the sofa and refusing certain privileges.
Daddy pig was dispatched upstairs to sort the whole mess out. His idea and my idea of sorting the situation out somewhat differed. I thought he was going up to put the little piggies to bed as by now it was nearly half eight, and I was already dreading grumpy little sleep deprived piggies the following day. Apparently his interpretation of sorting the situation was to put on music and have a disco with the little piggies. Seriously? I was fuming. Do I have to do everything around here? Honestly, a few weeks ago Daddy pig was late for work because he thought it was Saturday, when it was in fact Thursday. I sometimes feel like I have three children.
And he wonders why I don’t want anymore!
Anyway, I digress, I went upstairs to get the little piggies back into bed and asleep. I sat down to tell them a story but Peppa insisted she was going to tell the story herself. At this point I didn’t have the energy to argue with a 4-year-old. Especially an over-tired and over-excited 4-year-old. I’m rather embarrassed to admit what happened next, but to the great amusement of everyone else, I fell asleep. In my defence I had consumed nowhere near enough caffeine that day, and I have heard Peppa’s ‘Princess Peppa’ story at least a hundred times before.
So there you have it, my disastrous evening.
I think on reflection this one is entirely Daddy pigs fault.
If you are wondering about dinner, well Miss Rabbit delivered a take away. Did they bother to wake me for it? No!
Based on Series Three, Episode 14, “Princess Peppa”. If you have small people of a certain age I’m sure you’ve seen it at least a dozen times.
You can find Peppa Pig on Netflix which means you might have 10 minutes to drink a hot cup of tea or go to the bathroom alone!

This is sooooo funny !!! I loved it – it made my day !
This is fantastic ! Completely made my day would love to read some more of Mummy Pigs blogs !
Yes I’ve watched this and every episode about 10 times. Very funny. Jen @ mumversation.com
Oh you made my morning wuth this post. Thank you
haha … I love this! Poor mummy pig. She does sound like she has her hands full thought.
I’d have fallen asleep too!
Haha – I love this! HAVE seen the episode a million times. Really hope Mummy Pig doesn’t actually start a blog – hearing more from those pigs is the last thing we need! #FridayFrolics
Do they really let you go to the bathroom alone? Ohhhhhemmmmmmgeeee! Impressive
Our Daddy pig has fallen asleep at the dinner table at a rare night out in a hotel. I tried not to be insulted! Love this post. #Fridayfrolics
Oh Mummy pig is a hero – he shit she has to put up with her annoying children and quite frankly her ‘lazy’ husband. I would love to hear have a good moan. very funny post xx #fridayfrolicks
oh I do feel sorry for Mummy Pig, having to suffer her whole awful family 😉 Can you do one for Topsy and Tim but from the Mum’s perspective! #FridayFrolics
Oh this is very funny and I love your naughty falling asleep – I would have done exactly the same – inspired! But seriously I hate evenings like that – nothing fun about them at all and those hushed harsher words in the kitchen are the worst aren’t they?! Hope the weekend brings some happier adventures for the Pigs! #FridayFrolics
Subscribe! Subscribe! I love it. Perhaps they could add grown up subtitles to a couple of episodes, just as a treat for those of us that are big enough to be able to read and interpret expletives? Although I must admit that “certain privileges” has created images in my headiary that could mean that I struggle to watch it ever again… 😉 Fantastic post as always x #fridayfrolics
I am SO glad I missed out on Peppa Pig – it would have really wound me up! We had other shit to deal with admittedly…anyway, even not being a PP expert, this was so funny. You completely captured that nightmare scenario when grandparents arrive at bedtime. It brought back memories! Alison x #FridayFrolics
Daddy pig is so inept. And that kid is so bossy. If I were mummy pig I’d be drinking heavily. #fridayfrolics
Pahahaha!! Of Lordy, this had me chuckling the whole way through.
The Granny and Grandad pig my boys have are very similar to those in your tale…mainly Grandad pig actually who thinks it highly appropriate to smuggle sweets up into their bedroom…
Fabulous as always Claire.xxx
Haha! I have to agree with Jeremy – poor bloody Daddy Pig. Great post – had me laughing all the way through!! Peppa is banned in our house by the way. I just can’t cope with that music any more. #FridayFrolics
Bloody Mummy Pig is so ridiculously patient and cheerful. Happy as a pig in s*it! #fridayfrolics
poor Daddy Pig. That guy never catches a break. #fridayfrolics
Hahahaha… absolutely brilliant! Am in the midst of a Peppa Pig back-to-back these days; muddy puddles and all! Fab post!
#FridayFrolics
Now I am not a Peppa Pig fan, I’m sure my toddler doesn’t know if its existence and I am more than happy to keep it that way; however your version is much better. One thing that really would have naffed me off beyond all belief is that they ordered takeaway and stuffed their faces without waking you up! Disgraceful behaviour!
Totes hilaire, I was imagining Mummy Pigs voice as I read it. I don’t have to suffer Peppa Pig with my kids anymore now they are bigger but *funny* how I remember the bloody episodes so well!! Granny and Grandpa Pig are wind up merchants aren’t they! V Funny post #fridayfrolics
Hahaha, I know exactly which one you mean! You could do loads of these! Poor Mummy Pig. #fridayfrolics
Now if only every episode of Peppa Pig went like this, it would be way more interesting than the usual drivel! Really made me laugh, I think Mummy Pig should pour herself a large glass of wine and kick back with a huge bar of chocolate! #fridayfrolics
Brilliant – poor old mummy pig! We all know how she feels 😉 x
Love this! Although I wouldn’t be witholding privileges from Daddy Pig for long!
Amazing to think of mummy pig writing a blog!! So funny 🙂 Peppa is a staple in our household. The twins love it – I must’ve seen each episode a million times over!! Thanks for linking up with #TwinklyTuesday
There should be more posts by Mummy Pig! This is great 🙂 #thetruthabout
Thanks 🙂
I must question why is Peppa such a d@ck??? Thanks for linking with me at #effitfriday xx
And then mummy drowned herself in a lovely puddle of wine, and everything seemed so much better….#fridayfrolics
Love this post! What is it with those pigs and muddy puddles! #effitfriday
Debbie
Haha – genius! This would definitely be Mummy Pig’s blog. As for who’s to blame, I blame the whole bloody lot of them for everything! #fridayfrolics
Fantastic, love this. Poor old Mummy pig. All those puddles 🙂
#fridayfrolics
Luckily my boys din’t like Peppa at all, but I have seen enough episodes to know that Mummy Pig has her hands full with that lot.
Briliant take on it Claire!
#fridayfrolics
Sorry Mummy Pig – that was also supposed to say #effitfriday as you are the one before me
Oh Mummy Pig – I hear you loud and clear! #FridayFrolics
Snorting with laugher into my morning coffee, in a Mummy Pig type way! Brilliant! (I loathe Peppa Pig but this made me laugh)
#EffitFriday
Love this, I often wonder if the show sends out subliminal messages..
The one where Mummy Pig Drinks All The Wine doesn’t seem to have been made yet … #twinklytuesday
I know this episode so well! You’ve really brought it to life with Mummy Pig’s side to the story, I really believe it. So so funny, please write some more! Sabrina xx #twinklytueday
Ahh this is great! Really made me chuckle, I have seen (as many mummies have!) nearly all of the Peppa episodes so I can relate to all of this post!
#MMWBH
One of those I shouldn’t be laughing but I am. Hilarious and I hope your erm I mean the pigs’ next dinner party is more successful.
Back from #FridayFrolics
Haha very good! When I saw this on the linky I thought yep I gotta read this and it didn’t disappoint! Poor Mummy Pig #MMWBH
Haha love it – genius! There is no escaping Peppa and now you are even channelling her in mummy form! #MMWBH
Love this, and yes this would have been just what would have happened in that episode. I think N’s going off Peppa Pig a bit now – no more requesting it (although that might be because I deleted all the recordings!)
Ha! The writers at Peppa Pig must be sh*ting theselves. This is genius! I love the bit about Mummy Pig having ‘hushed words’ with Daddy Pig! Who hasn’t done that in RL? So funny. #thetruthabout
Very enjoyable read 🙂 Though sounds like a horrible evening….
Grandparents, just don’t get it… I’ve expressly told my in-laws not to give biscuits to my 2 year old. And they still try to sneak them, or make him feel like he’s really missing out while his older cousins have one.
When I listen to reason I’d blame granny and granddad. But from wife’s perspective it’s so often Daddy’s fault he might as well take this one as well.
#thetruthabout
Giggled all the way through this. I haven’t seen the episode you are referring to but to be honest yours sounds so much better and much easier to visualise. Brilliant post. #thetruthabout
Thanks 🙂
Love it! I do think Mummy Pig has the patience of a saint sometimes and what a shame that she missed out on Miss Rabbit delivering a takeaway. I can imagine that Daddy Pig isn’t too helpful at times and all those muddy puddles would drive me to distraction too! 🙂
Is there anything that Miss Rabbit doesn’t do?
I thought this tale sounded familiar!! It sounds like Mummy Pig has it as bad as the rest of us! Worse even, considering the absolute brat that Peppa is (don’t tell her I said that!)
Poor cow! Ahem..I mean, pig!
Not sure I could live with the little madam myself!
Am about to drop to the ground and roll about laughing. My 2 year old is currently obsessed with Peppa and her friends, so I have regularly found myself staring mutely as those shows run over and over (& over) again. Poor Daddy Pig does get a tough deal…but the lazy pig deserves it! #TwinklyTuesday
Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Lol I love this. I think I’ve seen all of those episodes of Peppa Pig about 5000 times! His post is hilarious and just pure genius :–)
Visiting frim #twinklytuesdays
Thanks 🙂
Great post! If you are watching too much Peppa, it only makes sense to write a post from Mummy Pig. Why do kids shows control our lives now?! My next post will have to be from the viewpoint of Peter Rabbit. I swear to god that show has made me hate rabbits. #TwinklyTuesday
Peter rabbits got a fly upon his nose, peter rabbits got a ….
Great post. You could write a series of them 🙂 #TwinklyTuesday
I might do!
This was great!!! Every little detail was covered blog style. It was perfect. Have you done this with other kids cartoon characters? It could be an awesome series! #twinklytuesdays
I haven’t, but I have done a rant about Topsy & Tim!
Haha I love it! I could imagine her voice as well. So true and a clever idea xx #thetruthabout
Thanks
Love it, I have so many questions about Peppa Pig. Why would you go to a land of ducks and why only snort after certain words? Haha. #twinklytuesday
Whose keeping an eye on those foxes?!
Just brilliant! If only they did a ‘behind the scenes’ episode for adults, it would be truly brilliant.
#TwinklyTuesday
Love it!I’ve often wondered why Mummy Pig doesn’t totally lose it every now and again lol x
I know! Especially with the amount of muddy puddles!
Haha! Genius!
This really made me laugh, especially the thought of Mummy Pig shaving her legs and having ‘hushed words’ with Daddy Pig! I think you should pitch the makers of Peppa Pig your idea, to make a grown up version! Brilliant! x
Thanks Aimee
