| “ | Don't be horrid, Henry! | „ |
| ~ Mum and Dad's catchphrase. |
Mum and Dad (Dad's real name being Simon and Mum's real name being unknown) are the two of the three main antagonists (alongside Moody Margaret) of the Horrid Henry franchise.
They are the parents of Horrid Henry and Perfect Peter. However, they are also infamous due to their poor parenting skills and are practically the reason on why Henry is the horrid boy he is known as today.
Mum is voiced by Tamsin Heatley in animated series and portrayed by Siobhan Hayes in live-action film, and Dad is voiced by Wayne Forester in animated series, and portrayed by Mathew Horne in live-action film.
Personalities[]
Mum and Dad are abusive, neglectful, toxic, and hypocritical. They treat Henry poorly and always punish him for things that he didn't do and never trust him. They are often controlling of Henry and will usually give him a harsh punishment for his behavior and often yell at him, but never do this to his brother Peter as he is a "golden child" in their eyes. They prefer to shape up Henry and Peter how they want them rather than letting Henry and Peter be how they want to, which is a problem given this would turn Henry into the horrid boy he is remembered as.
Despite this, they do little to solve the reason on why Henry is horrid and rather influence his behavior. They even pretend as if Henry isn't even their child whenever they are in public. They are often neglectful of Henry and only focus on his horrid behavior and not his well-being. Whenever they punish Henry, they will either ban him from certain things, such as watching TV, pocket money, loud noise, sweets, and the computer. In "Horrid Henry's Horrid Revenge", they had taken all the stuff out of Henry's room just for him painting Peter.
Mum is shown to be slightly more unfair than Dad is. She is often in denial and calls Peter by unfair names, such as 'sweetie pie', 'darling', 'sugar plum', 'bunny hop', 'pumpkin', 'poppet', and 'peterkins' but never calls Henry any of that. In the episode Happy Birthday Peter, she was glad that Colin the Clown was going to make Henry disappear, much to Margaret and Ralph's disgust. She had even gotten her husband in trouble in one episode.
In spite of this, Mum and Dad are not always toxic as sometimes they do care for Henry, such as when Mum made sure he was alright when he had woken up from a nightmare. Dad is also shown to treat Henry a lot better in the later seasons. They are also shown to punish Peter on some occasions.
Trivia[]
- They are known among viewers for being one of the worst parents in television history.
- Mum's name has been never mentioned in the series unlike her husband's name who was revealed to be Simon.
- Dad was also referred to as "Dodgy Dad" by Henry in one episode. Silly Simon however is his childhood nickname, which it seems that he was not the one who gave himself the name, as he seemingly didn't like it.
