If babies could be bought at shops, where would yours have come from?

DD1 mentioned how disgusting she thought it was that she was inside me. I said that it is a bit weird, and if I could have bought her from a shop, I would have done. She feels confident that she'd have been a John Lewis baby, but decided that DD2 is more a sort of IKEA vibe as she's more chaotic, but does the job of being a child.

If you'd have bought your children from a shop, which one do you think they'd have come from?

Middle aisle of Lidl.
Totally unexpected and slightly weird

B and M.

Sports direct and sephora

DS-Sports Direct
DD Claire’s

i was the proud parent of two bouncing baby stereotypes. Fortunately they grew up differently!

I like to think my babies are M&S babies but maybe I’m biased. 😆

Definitely Sports Direct or maybe JD 😂

Whatever shop it was it’d have been couriered by Evri cos both of mine arrived way later than the tracking system promised.

Van Cleef & Arpels

A diamond

Ds- an obscure record shop maybe
Dd- a corner where Waterstones meets Space nk

Temu.

It is weird that you actually grow them inside you isn’t it.

I struggle to wrap my head around that and I’ve both got one and currently pregnant. You just… carry around another human inside your body, take them for a swim, off to meetings etc.

So weird.

Oh, that's a mysterious answer, why?

McDonald’s. Despite exclusively breast feeding him then introducing organic homemade baby food followed by a healthy balanced diet, he is still addicted to chicken nuggets. At 21 it’s no longer my responsibility, one thing he still doesn’t eat is sweet stuff, apart from fruit, so my careful, healthy parenting wasn’t a total waste of time.

My DD would say she come from Waitrose or a posh boutique shop from Cheshire Oaks

My DS would be a very unique gift shop who sold one offs , they wouldn’t have given me a receipt coz they wouldn’t want me to take him back for a refund 🤣🤣

DS - DFS from the bed department
DD - Hipster wine bar

I found it weird that I'd chosen everything else, house, car, clothes, etc. But with babies, I just got what I was given and there was no 30 day returns period.

Asda.
(I bought the pregnancy test from there).

DS definitely came from Game.

I think DD must have come from the local D&D games store.

A door to door Encyclopaedia salesperson

DD1... a precision engineering shop. Everything she does is very exact.

DD2... a tyre shop as she just bounces.

Weird i guess especially to a child, but not disgusting though 🥺
