My toddler’s obsession with 'Bluey' is turning bedtime into a negotiation marathon

Ever since my 3-year-old discovered 'Bluey,' bedtime has become this epic saga. She insists on watching exactly three episodes before lights out, no more, no less. We tried sticking to one episode to save time, but the tantrums were real. We've also swapped out screen time for reading Bluey books, but she’s convinced that’s a different kind of bedtime ritual and still demands the show. I get that 'Bluey' is great for kids and the episodes are short, but when bedtime stretches past 9:30 pm on school nights, I’m running on empty. Has anyone else struggled with a little one fixated on a particular show at night? What creative tricks did you use to keep bedtime calm without turning it into a full-on standoff? And do you think switching to a different show or activity could help, or is it just a phase we have to ride out?
