Primark have been at it for ages - you only have to look at their store fronts every time Pride comes around and the Pride range of clothes

When i go to Brum i see loads of woke youngsters with the Primark rainbow tote bags

I'm hoping for clothes made from plasticy material that you can scrub vomit and other bodily fluids from quite quickly.

Well if they're calling maternity clothes "parenthood" clothes, I'm definitely not going there. Shame, I could do with quite a few maternity clothes right now! I reject anybody who thinks words like "mother" and "maternity" are shameful or taboo.

@MonsignorMirth

What do parents need from their clothes, particularly?

Well I don't know, hence asking... but in my case it'd involve an elasticated waistband. Maybe a big slogan hoody saying "just leave me alone for 5 poxy minutes! "

There is a market for parenthood clothing along these lines.

"Don't talk to me unless there is fire or blood"

And plenty of pockets

You beat me to it! Grin Also stainproof and eminently washable. And non-iron, of course...

@MrsFin

Yes, because Dads need new clothes when women are pregnant.
Haha!

Yep it’s pathetic - maternity is a nice sounding word, ‘parenthood’ makes me think of serious types wearing sludgy coloured anoraks and unflattering dungarees.

does it have some function relating to being parents?

I'm intrigued to think what this would be. What do parents need from their clothes, particularly? Hmm

Maybe it is just a fashion/image thing. Designer stains?

MonsignorMirth · 14/10/2021 13:36

Is is actually maternity clothes specifically designed for bumps, or does it have some function relating to being parents?

NecessaryScene · 14/10/2021 13:33

Although, to be fair, "maternity" is also something of a euphemism itself... Just rather clearer.

NecessaryScene · 14/10/2021 13:31

This is kind of Victorian, isn't it?

Pregnancy - or anything related - too shameful to actually mention.

"Parenthood". Sigh.

And relying on everyone knowing what the euphemisms mean...

But surely it's a good idea to spruce up dads' fashion too?
