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

[Sausagescanfly]

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?

DS1 M and S as he loves the Food Hall
DS2 Arne, Footasylum or Majestic Wine

DS1- Fortnum and Mason
DS2- Royal Academy of Art gift shop.

Ds1 would be from John Lewis
Ds2 is more of a Sports direct baby
Dd is from the gift shop at the British Museum

Etsy.
Was going for hobbycraft first, but far to OFAK to be found in a chain.

I asked mum if she was posting on this thread, where myself and my brother would have come from

DB - The server room of IBM, from the box of bits in the corner.
Me - Hobbycraft or the one of those Blue Diamond Garden centres that also have the Cafe & Gift Shop that sell jelly cats, jigsaws, sweets, and jewellery.

Eldest definitely came from an outdoorsy country store like Mole Valley, or perhaps even a tractor dealership such as Olivers or a John Deere dealership. She dresses like it too.

An Oriental supermarket or Souschef.

Mine came from a different era altogether - maybe the industrial revolution 1750s

None from Aldi and Lidl, then?

PDSA and Millet’s

Save the children charity shop.
Or maybe Blue Cross or Dogs Trust

No. 1 - Waterstones
No 2 - Some expensive boutique
No 3 - Decathalon

Dc1 - some weird vape shop full of bob marley images that has bongs, fake designer purses and knock off labubus in the window.

Dc2 - an independent shop that sells ethically sourced art supplies. Smells of nag champ and herbal tea.

Dc3 - not so much a shop but he would have arrived in a too good to go bag from a hearty local bakery filled with mildly stale sausage rolls and jam tarts.

Dc 4 - a stall at the theatre selling programmes and merchandise. Dramatic fucker.

All 4 of them are utterly bonkers.

Carlsberg.Probably the best ds in the world.

Fab thread!

Dd I think I ordered her off Netflix but may have been silent night… she loves her bed and chill.

ds… built by micro soft delivered via deliveroo to a dodgy vape shop that sells cheap alcohol…in a football kit

Carlsberg

Well, he once asked if there’s a Harrods in Scarborough, but he also once licked a glass cabinet in Harrods, so who knows!

My daughter would have come from a quaint bookshop, the kind that lets you sit and read and has something for everyone, my son would have been purchased from a STIHL dealership .i think my sister uses Mumsnet so if she sees this thread she will recognise her niece and nephew xx

Regatta. Spends half his time gleefully in a puddle.

Ds - A guitar or music shop.

I find this thread quite challenging as someone who would give their right arm for a child.

@Sodukuchess This is a lighthearted thread that does not insult our children, simply acknowledges their differences in a fun way.

I really don't understand why you have posted this comment. It seems totally at odds with the thread or it's sentiment.

Why? It's a jokey way of describing their children's personalities, likes and appearances.

Fortnum and Masons. And then i'd eat it with a nice cup of Lady Grey tea.

@Nayyercheekyfeckers A child from Fortnums sounds high class. I'm slightly concerned what you're eating with your Earl Grey though - placenta?
