None at all. Even Spiderus takes good care of his children, despite being a villain.

A minor character is Mama Snake, a villainous garter snake. However, she appears more often in the first season than in the last two seasons.

In the pilot movie, Stinky (adult) compliments Shimmer's (child) appearance in an awkward way. Bounce teases them by making kissy noises, as if he thought that Stinky was in love with Shimmer. Yuck. Stuff like this is never brought up again in the TV series, though.

The character, Bounce, is a bedbug, though he doesn't look much like a real one.

Only in hindsight. In the pilot movie, Squirt has a crush on Shimmer, who is later adopted by Miss Spider, making them step siblings. The crush disappears in the TV series and is never brought up again.

In “Cry Buggy”, Dragon makes fun of Wiggle for crying and tells Squirt that boys don’t cry. However, Squirt learns that it’s okay to cry.
