I agree. Bluey is a great show. As a dad it can either make you feel inadequate or motivate you to to better. You just have to accept no dad can be Bandit all the time, but try to be Bandit as much as possible.

Yeah, this. I love love love Bluey, but I also often think, "get a job, Bandit!" :)

I'm fairly certain we only see the family during the slices of time mom and/or dad have the to interact with the kids. "Rug Island" alludes to the notion that when Bandit goes to work, he may as well be going to a foreign country as far as the kids know.

He goes on a work trip at least once, and the episode implies it’s not an abnormal situation.

At least twice he’s trying to get to work, so he doesn’t just work from home.
