Former NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. expressed his frustration with the show 'Bluey' and the expectations the show sets for fathers.
spoke to The Athletic and was asked 12 interesting questions outside the world of motorsports. The outlet asked the former driver to"rank these in terms of annoyance: ‘Bluey,’ finding rats around the house, your kids both having colds at the same time, late start times for races and the Dallas Cowboys." But"Bluey" is where Junior gave his longest response.
Earnhardt said he believes he’s a great dad, but the cartoon sets unrealistic expectations for his kids. "He’s never got to go to work. He’s never got this thing he’s got to do or he’s never mowing the lawn and whatever, right? It’s always, ‘Yep, you got it. I’m gonna do what the kids want me to do and pretend with them.’ So my girls, mainly Isla , they have the same expectation of me."
Earnhardt said he understands he should let his children have an imagination, but replicating what the father"Bluey" does in real life is exhausting.
