I looked at the Dad.

I looked at his little chubby toddler daughter in her pink Ramones t shirt.

I thought "God you are a twat"

AIBU?

give me a ramones tshirt anyday over "future footballers wife". whats the issue? its just a t shirt?

Yabu - I'd rather dress my dc in a Ramones T.Shirt than all that gender stereotypical crap on the high St.

LaWeasel · 16/09/2011 12:17

T-shirts with printed pictures of bands on aren't any less practical than tees with fluffy crocodiles on. They're both t-shirts. They cover the child up sufficiently. They haven't got swearwords/naked people/allusions to domestic violence on so they're not inappropriate.

You don't have to like them and you can think the parents are twats if you want, but it's pretty stupid to think there's anything inherently wrong with what is just a t-shirt and does exactly the same job as any other t-shirt.

Whoever asked about skinny jeans, DD (2.5) has a couple of pairs (they were not bought by me) and they don't seem to hamper her in anyway. I was a bit surprised, but to be honest they're better than the looser trousers which tend to ride down and trip her up.

Xpost KB - I'm with you there.

I want a Ramones t-shirt for my dog.

Exhaustive research has led me to the conclusion that the Ramones Blitzkreig Bop has the right beat to match his pace when walking - his ears wobble precisely in time with it. It's very funny.

Jetbaby · 16/09/2011 12:23

LeQueen yes DD has worn both a Ramones t-shirt and a Peppa Pig t-shirt

MillyR · 16/09/2011 12:24

Well putting a band tshirt on a dog is something I approve of.

Thinks: I could be a twitter phenomenon if I made a pink Ramones T-shirt for dd's hamster and posted it on-line.

LEMONAIDE · 16/09/2011 12:26

YABU - personally I prefer that to the mother a daughter pink co-ordinated look

I did see a kids ramones t-shirt in H & M the other day and thought to myself in passing - "I doubt a lot of people even know who they are!"

DS2 wore a soul boy hat I bought him at a weekender for ages and loved it - if it fitted him still it would actually still be his first choice hat!

Ultimately its not hurting anyone is it, just expressing your taste through your children until the point when they say "no more"

Someone I knew used to dress her toddler in an Elvis T-shirt, I thought it was really cute.

michelleseashell · 16/09/2011 12:27

I like the dog reply the best.

ExpensivePants · 16/09/2011 12:29

Unless you hand over a £50 note to your 3yo and sit outside the shop while s/he goes in and chooses clothes, then everything you dress your children in, however neutral, practical, logo'd, unlogo'd is making a statement about you and how you want them to look, nothing to do with what they want. So this thread is a bit silly really.

LEMONAIDE · 16/09/2011 12:29

at 8 we still have to actively dissade DS from going shopping in a spiderman outfit or skeleton pyjamas but we just let him get on with it when he was small - we are now not sure if he's passed from the age where its "cute" to the point where its "odd"

frumpyq · 16/09/2011 12:34

An oasis t-shirt would have been much better Grin

limitedperiodonly · 16/09/2011 12:35

I've never liked the Ramones.

And they're liars. They're not really brothers.

I used to sing DD "The KKK took my baby away" Blush It's no worse than rock-a-bye baby right?

mayorquimby · 16/09/2011 12:41

Don't know if there are any soccer am fans on here but my favourite ever moment was when Martin Freeman (tim from the office) called out that smug pretentious twat Tim Lovejoy for wearing a Ramones t-shirt.
Convo went like this;
MF: Oh cool ramones t-shirt, do you like them?
TL: Confused eh yeah
MF: Really? what's your favourite album?
TL: eh... I don't know, I just like the t-shirt Blush Angry

mayorquimby · 16/09/2011 12:42

"I used to sing DD "The KKK took my baby away" blush It's no worse than rock-a-bye baby right?"

I sing 'Mardy Bum' to my niece all the time.

Empjusa! I'm going to print that out. (Though am a bit sad it was already out there - clearly will have to up game in quest for fame with short youtube film of hammie rocking out to Ramones.)
