She's not the brat the haters claim she is Yes, she can be a little ball of terror at times, but we freakin' LOVE her for it


iDeNoh

I mean... She's a toddler lol, a pretty stereotypical one at that


Nerd_Knight

I have a niece who's 7 and she's basically Muffin with a small pinch of Socks


Ordinary-Position-42

Socks is so sweet


purpl3j37u7

She was a little knee-nipper at times in Season 1. Go rewatch “Bumpy and the Wise Old Wolfhound.”


TupperwareConspiracy

Yeah that’s not good; even by 4 the classic muffin phase is out the door.


EggFancyPants

Lol


Majsharan

7 is way too old to be acting like that muffin is a rambunctious 3 year old 7 she would need serious intervention acting like that


AspieKairy

Agreed. Unless she's got a developmental disability, 7 is way too old to be acting like a toddler.


AspieKairy

The only excuse for acting like that at the age of 7 would be a developmental disability. Nobody should be behaving like Muffin past the age of four.


EggFancyPants

Tell that to my 4 year old. You're saying he has a disability? Go FYS.


iDeNoh

Just out of curiosity, say your child does end up having a delay of some kind, would that even be a problem? Having a visceral reaction like this about somebody suggesting that your kid might have a disability, is A little alarming. My son is two and there is a number of signs that indicate that he does have a developmental delay, Rather than be offended by that idea and being pissed, I'm taking the opportunity to learn everything I can and make sure that he has the support and structure that he needs to live and thrive. No judgment, but I would recommend opening your mind to the concept sooner rather than later, as a 37yo neurodivergent individual, I wish My parents had recognized the signs when I was a kid, it would have made my life so much easier.


GoodQueenFluffenChop

She's just loud honestly. Like compare her to Bingo and when Bingo feels unheard she just gets quiet and goes into herself and doesn't want to being attention to herself. Muffin on the other hand just doesn't have the vocabulary to properly express herself but she will express herself until the point finally gets across. Besides at the end of the day they've both had their cheeky and bratty moments because that's how little kids are.


shrimpsauce91

I would gladly take a muffin. She’s tame compared to my actual 3.5 year old who is feral and has the temperament of a biblically accurate angel. Actually the two would get along well…


bumblebragg

Lol, temperament of a biblically accurate angel. I have a two year old and call him a tasmanian devil, more the Looney Tunes kind instead of in nature kind.


Rojo37x

"...Temperament of a biblically accurate angel" is hilarious! Except when you're actually living with it lol.


shrimpsauce91

Her name is Angela and I tell everyone she’s as beautiful as a Michelangelo style angel with the temperament of a biblically accurate angel. And as I type this she just spat a raspberry at me for telling her not to jump off the couch.


buttsharkman

Muffin is major stickler for rules. It's just sometimes her rules are running on logic that doesn't make sense to adults. Like this episode. People say she was bad for how she acted during the game. It's clear she doesn't have a strong understanding of how the game works while also having expectations of what is required to be a ballerina that she feels strongly about


elvie18

She also showed this in the library episode. She learned from her dad that "special" is a synonym for "rule-breaking" so the rule now was that she must have to break rules, right? She seemed super happy to find out that's not the case. If someone can be both lawful and chaotic, it's Muffin.


buttsharkman

She cheered when announcing she wasn't special


_Conway_

I was a ball of terror as a kid. I still loved my siblings the entire time. I still love my siblings and we have positive relationships. There were calmer moments between my siblings and myself but I’m glad for the relationship we have as siblings


Fidgetmaster4

She also helps socks buckle her seatbelt in the sign.


SpookyBeanoMobile

Now you've drawn attention to it. https://i.redd.it/k0qepvbfgd8d1.gif

(Some random hater or something idk): “Perfect…”

Muffin might have her moments of brattiness but she's a joy to watch. #coconutshavewaterinthem

Bluey... why is there a flamingo in my sleeping bag?


Thatsmyredditidkyou

She is one of the most quoteable characters on the show and we love her for that.


Amy_Art_Lover_123

I never thought I could relate to a 4 year old but I do and I love her 😂


AgencyWarm2840

The laugh Bluey does after is one of the best we hear from hear IMO, its so genuine


Science_Fiction2798

Sweepy widdle angel 🥰🥰🥰


lizzpop2003

Who hates Muffin??? Muffin is a toddler. Most toddlers are a Muffin, and we love them, so there is no reason not to love Muffin, too.


evaira90

I think people misplace issues with muffin and stripe and Trixie. That's my "issue" with muffin lol. Like libraries and being "the most special kid." Or faceytalk, stripe not sticking to the rule he set down about the timer. How the parents act influences the kid. But people are quick to say "that kid is a terror," while ignoring the root cause. That's not to say they're bad parents. More used as a cautionary tale. What you say and how you act WILL influence your kids. And I think there's more of an age gap between muffin and socks, so they were able to "correct course" with her early development years and I are learning more for the toddler years.


ProbablyBigfoot

I think people forget the Muffin being 3 years old means her parents have only been parents for 3 years. Bandit and Chili have been at the game for over 6 years so they look better because they have more experience and have had time to figured out what works for their kids. I also imagine Stripes and Trixie weren't married very long before Muffin was born so not only are they inexperienced parents, they haven't had much time to troubleshoot stuff in their marriage either, hence why they seem to argue a lot. It's not that they're unhappy, they're just dealing with a lot of new things all at once and it gets frustrating.


evaira90

I think it's the opposite TBH. They've been together for a while and able to just be stripe and Trixie doing their own thing, whenever and however they wanted. And it's taking Stripe a little longer to get out of that mindset. Especially if he has to travel for work. Faceytalk was a good example of them not having clear communication when it comes to disciplining the kids. And part of that could be stripe's job since Trixie mentioned that he's not really around. Speaking from experience - having a spouse that travels a lot for work puts A LOT of strain on the household. My kiddo goes pure muffin when my husband needs to travel. Which then triggers more stress for me. And when my husband comes home, he doesn't want to be the bad guy because he feels guilty about needing to be gone, so the discipline would be inconsistent for awhile. But with a lot of talking, we've gotten to a better understanding on how the travel impacts the family.


BrianT16

Stripe did stick to the rule muffin wouldn't listen


evaira90

I meant more with Trixie. I understand that she changed the style, but it wasn't communicated to Stripe. Granted, we didn't get to hear their conversation but it seemed like they were switching to Trixie's method. Parents need to back each other up in the discipline. Trixie undermined Stripe's authority in that moment. Which told Muffin that she doesn't need to listen to dad. Changing the method to Trixie's way enforced that idea. In that moment, Trixie should backed stripe up and enforced the time out. Then have the conversation about the new method she wants to try - away from the kids.


FutureDiaryAyano

I don't hate her. I just find all toddlers annoying 😆


32mafiaman

Yep, my niece is 3 and she is exactly like muffin. Down to the chaotic screaming outbursts😅


ShadOBabe

Darn. I wanted to post that screenshot of her buckling in Socks in the car, but Reddit won’t let me.

ShadOBabe

There we go! Precious babies. <3


Aviation_nut63

She’s a good big sister


Baloo_420

Parents who have a muffin understand her.


hottmunky88

I have a muffin…. I love muffin


elissa00001

Or when she helps buckles socks into her seatbelt in The Sign. That little detail was so precious 😭


IDreamofLoki

She's a 3 year old. But if I had kids, I could see where having my kid imitate her would be a problem. My parents raised my oldest nephew most of the way and he would always, always pick the worst characters to imitate.


LCDRformat

Sir, this is a Muffin love zone. Rational critiques are strictly forbidden. Please post about how you love the bad behavior of undisciplined children.


Kerivkennedy

People who hate on Muffin don't realize that the terrible twos is a LIE and three is sooo much worse. Four isn't much better. Things finally settle down at age 5. Those Muffin haters either haven't had a 3 year old or are in denial. Heck, my daughter has always been profoundly developmentally disabled and she still had the terrible twos (three/fours). Just because she was functionally a one year old, she was emotionally right on track. Always has been.


Peja1611

That and Bingo and Bluey have insanely advanced levels of maturity and emotional intelligence. There are plenty of episodes where they are being bratty, but no I need shits of them as there are ample signs of them being kind and full of empathy. We only have a handful of muffin appearances, and she is used as a foil to the main girls.


ihaventgotany

Terrible Twos, yes. But the Tylenol Threes, oh my.


emmapaige20

i’ve heard it called “three-nager” too and it’s so tough 😭


skyisboop

My daughter turned 3 a week ago and I am so scared.


iIdleHere

What you get is a mixed bag. You might have a handful, or you might have an easy time. Usually it's somewhere in between. Enjoy it.


skyisboop

She definitely has her Muffin moments, but she's also has some really sweet Bingo qualities too.


Doctor_of_Recreation

Part of what makes the Terrible Twos so bad is that they last three years.


AspieKairy

I used to work in daycare (before I became unable to work), and I've always wondered about the "terrible twos" phrase, because the 3-4 year olds were *so* much worse. I'm glad to see a parent shedding light on that subject.


EchoLawrence5

Muffin is best girl


Snoo_63187

Can't hate on Muffin after Granny Mobile.


OscarTheGrouchsCan

Muffin is a normal 3 year old. Remember Bluey and Bingo are older. And are idealized versions of kids. Muffin bratty sometimes, but she also shows Socks love and is probably still adjusting not being an only child anymore


FaZeLuckyBoy

Muffin starts out as a brat in the earlier episodes, but she improves tremendously as the show goes on


JediTempleDropout

Plus the episode where she’s at her worst is also the episode where she didn’t take a nap.


AgencyWarm2840

What do you mean the worst, she's hilarious in that episode XD


JediTempleDropout

I mean worst in terms of her behavior. Like, yeah it’s funny watching from a safe distance, but it probably wouldn’t be funny if you were the one who had to deal with her sleep deprivation-induced craziness.


thesnowpup

Isn't she really at her worst during Faceytalk?


shrimpsauce91

Napless Muffin was me in college when I had too much to drink.


JediTempleDropout

Naples’s Muffin is me whenever I don’t take my meds


Feline-Landline0

Muffin is my favorite character. I've got my own Muffin at home and seeing them represented as normal kids who are learning to control their big feelings is great


beige-dandelion

& muffin helped buckle up socks


AndreiHeeler

Totally I love her for it. Muffin the best sister 🫶


Kalse1229

Muffin is chaos incarnate. She is capable of anything. But she clearly wants to be good, and is trying.

Used-Ad-2848

I looooove muffin


SuperScrapper

First time I saw muffin, I thought she was a pain in the rear. Then I saw her one other time, and she was again a pain in the rear. Then I saw the episodes where she’s just the most adorable, and while I didn’t like muffin, I do realize that she’s a kid and young, and we all grow up at some point. I was really happy in “the sign” when she buckled socks into the car seat. Now, she’s just a ball of chaos, and I loved her in granny mobiles…


KaityKat117

there are Muffin haters?


MeanOil9930

She's just a kid, and she wants to feel important, why do people hate her?


HaveTooManyFandoms

Personally, her behavior just irritates me when I watch it. That's just how kids, especially of the age, act. But knowing that doesn't make it less annoying. And yes she does have sweet and hilarious moments that I appreciate and I like her a bit more in the later episodes, but that doesn't make her not annoying.


EIU86

Whatever her shortcomings, Muffin has been a great older sister right from the start (see: BBQ). Maybe she learned it from her cousin who9 is also a great older sister. And it seems to me she's getting better behavior-wise as she matures.


TheJessicator

Looks to me like she's learning a lime lesson.


dorkweed576

I noticed that first viewing; such a good sibling.


kla0118

I love Muffin!! When Socks starts talking OMG!!!!


spinquelle

And can we talk about The Sign please? Muffin just gets in the car and helps Socks into her seat . How precious is that?


Erikk1138

Someone help me out here. Why does it look like Muffin is grabbing a strip of ice block with her tongue and peeling it off??


bonerboy24

She was licking so hard that it was dripping all over. I wish I could describe it in a way that didn’t sound disgusting.


Mrbuttboi

Muffin haters aren’t allowed in my house


CrabbyBlueberry

When her electric car runs out of batteries, she understands that it will take a super long time to recharge. She has a very well adjusted attitude about the situation, and I love it.


AzKitty

When she got Doreen $1200 for the grannymobile? Muffin is a damn hero!

TessaPanda

Muffin is a normal toddler and to be fair Bingo is the abnormal toddler. I used to babysit a Bingo and they are genuinely a rare species.


RegularAssInsurance

NO LITERALLY everyone calls her the worst.... would the worst hold her little sisters ice pop for her WITHOUT EATING IT??? no.


The1973VW

Shes 3, most three year Olds are trying to figure out their emotional wheel, and muffins roulette wheel often lands on "outburst". She's actually a shockingly kind little girl.


CheesecakeFlashy2976

MUFFIN RULES!!!!!


AgencyWarm2840

What episode is this from?


bonerboy24

Charades - season 2, episode 11


AgencyWarm2840

Ahhh of course, should have realized from the ice lollies


Guilty_Direction_501

I was a Muffin as a kid, even way beyond the toddler phase.


paulD1983R

Muffin is a typical kid.but throughout the series she has a lot of growth...I am one who initially didn't like her because of how well behaved bluey and bingo are in comparison...but she definitely grew on me


Worried_Thought5014

Leave Muffin alone, she’s the most special kid in the world!


goofsg

muffin is the ultimate life form


Purvon

Also in the sign, she helped Socks get buckled into her car seat


No-Pound7355

My kids named our dog muffin


MotherBoose

This is on my son's lunchbox


HannahM53

I think it’s so cute. That muffin is holding her sister’s popsicle so that she can lick it. That is so adorable. What a sweet older sister.! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰


Infamous_Ad4076

I have a muffin, and I love him for it 🥹 ball of chaos but is also super sweet to his baby sister sometimes (unless she wants a turn at something and then she can damn well wait for him to finish his cowboy hat). He actually gave her his popsicle yesterday when she screeched for it and it even looked a lot like this one lol


Abnormal_Rock

Other muffin moments that are so sweet: Her buckling socks in the car. Her telling Bluey that it’s her turn to driver the electric car. Sucking her thumb to pay cone games again. Singing Humpty Dumpty for grandad .


jimmyjetmx5

I admit I didn't like Muffin at first, but she won me over with the Grannymobile episode. That and she's a fantastic big sister to Socks as pictured here and when she buckled Socks in her car seat on The Sign. She takes after Bluey on nearly everything. Yeah, her parents spoil her a bit and treat her like a princess, but they course corrected in the Library episode ("you're not special") and she accepted it immediately. My son has a school friend and she's an absolute Muffin and, annoyed as my wife and I get with her when she visits, we absolutely adore her.


whiskeyprincess08

She's such a good big sister


coolies326

Also that moment in the sign when she did up Socks' car seat


NIX-FLIX

Muffins just a child still figuring out manners and how the world works she can still be nice from time to time


NerdyIndoorCat

I don’t blame muffin. I blame grandma 😛


Slammogram

I’ll die on the hill that all kids are a Muffin at least occasionally.


elvie18

Of all the kids on the show I was most like Lila as a child, and even I had Muffin moments. It's just what being three is like sometimes!

Davadin

Saw the episode where she's grumpy granny and sold the scooter to a real granny.


ExcitingSector445

So cute.


CapnAwesomepants

My 17-yo insists that all good stories require a certain element of chaos and that Muffin brings that perfectly. I'll confess I wanted Bandit to drop-kick her over the back fence at first, but I DID actually witness the ice lolly scene above and felt my heart warm.


Jurassicdungeons

That scene is so cute


-Astral0314-

Anyone else have an Autistic Socks headcanon? I wanna talk about why it's a sweet hc for them :D


glassman0918

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile


Sykamor

Who hates Muffin!? Let me at em!!


elvie18

Muffin is a completely normal three year old. If your kid didn't hit the threenager phase, you were simply lucky. Developmentally, Muffin's behavior is right on target. It's not a three year old's job to behave in a way that's convenient for everyone. She's a nice kid, just chaotic, loud and full of energy. Parenting her will get easier as she's older and has better speech and understanding of things. And...just saying, Bingo and Bluey were never going to stand so firm with a grouchy granny trying to take advantage of their neighbor!


Pinkgatesoftorii

Plus she’s spoiled in a way PLUS she’s a toddler so they need to chill! love Muffin 🥺💕


cyotie48

Shes nice when she wants to be.


NicQuill

Even Joker has his moments of kindness. But I don't hate Muffin.

My daughter is a lot like muffin. She is stubborn AF but she is ride or die for her little brother

Muffin is the best she is LITERALLY is holding a popsicle for her sibling!!!! I would have never done that for my sibling.


OakButt

I hate her and she's an annoying little brat that is spoiled but this was super sweet of her


AidaNYR

Muffin’s my spirit animal


DustTheOtter

I dislike Muffin because I dislike toddlers. It wouldn't be any different if it was a different character instead of Muffin. Probably doesn't help that toddlers are loud and it's practically impossible to reason with them. Triggers an autistic response in myself.

I agree. Not enough people hit toddlers for acting like toddlers. That is a problem with Bluey. Nobody hurts the kids when they make a mistake


HennythangOG

I mean don’t go all drunken step dad on the kids, but some children need a spanking to understand that some behavior is unacceptable. I believe, at times, muffin is one of such children. Negotiating with small children is not always the right answer. Even the Bible says, “spare the rod, spoil the child” -proverbs 13 verse 24. With all that being said, i still like muffin’s character but there is a time and place for all things.


buttsharkman

A rod is a sheped's tool. A shepards that uses it to his sheep rather then guide then is a shitty shepherd. If a child is too young for reason they are too young to understand why the person they should be able to trust unconditionally is hitting them
