To think a baby should never wear...

[Midori1999]

A purple faux fur coat?

Which is exactly what my DH has just brought back from Asda for our 3 month old daughter.

It's lovely he's bought her something and even if you don't like it she'll outgrow it soon enough. It looks very cute though

My DH took DD to nursery in a weird outfit with unbrished "Russel Brand" hair yesterday. I was when she came home with her hair brushed and clipped. The nursery workers hopefully knew it was DH and not me who sent her like that!

Finally I agree with FabbyChic on something!

YABU, just be thankful that he didn't see fit to buy Nike trainers (thanks DH ) or a red Lonsdale trackuit (thanks BIL ) and then insist that she wear them. I was nerly too embarrassed to go out

I love it

The babies get all the good shit.

I know there's a pair of baby Nike's on their way to us when our LO is born. It has took me the whole pregnancy to mentally prepare for receiving them. I am 30 weeks, and failing.

There is NO excuse for them.

Pagwatch - the body of a 50 40 year old, the taste of a 3 year old

PS I like the coat, my DDs all wore something similar at 18 months old, passed own from my nieces.

I like the coat.

There is, however, no excuse for skinny jeans or trainers on a baby. When I rule the UK, there are going to be serious changes around here.

LikeACandle if you can get away with it, put them on once, take a photo and gush over how cute they are, then charity shop.

She will forever sneeze and choke on all the fur. What a stupid garment for a baby.

AngryBeaver my parents have a hysterical school photo of me and my sis taken one day when Mum was ill and Dad dressed us. Even for the 70's our clothes were so badly mismatched you wonder how on earth he managed it! Poor Mum didn't know whether to laugh or cry when we brought it home but they treasure it now

Actually the body of a 5040 year old is more accurate today.

One of the things ds1 took to uni was a photo of him dressed as Santa at about 8 months old. He likes to keep the evidence of all the awful gimmicky outfits we put him in as proof that we are awful parents. I like the bear outfit with floppy ears best. He looked great on that.

oh god, please don't tell me that on top of everything else i'm worrying about, I have to worry about DH dressing DC really badly and leaving it unkempt?
:(

In our family, ds1 has never quite lived down the day when he was 20 months old and it was discovered his father had used a checked tea-towel as a nappy (long story but I was away with 8 week old ds2 and the lazy sod ex-h had allowed normal nappy washing systems to break down completely).

So this particular faux fur coat seems entirely harmless and I'm normally the veritable Duchess of Judgemental-Pantes so far as baby girl clothes are concerned. Admittedly, I came to this conclusion this was after visiting the link because beforehand I had visions of something made out of psychedelic astroturf.

Yes Nickelbabe you do. I haven't met a Dad yet who could manage to wash, brush, dress AND feed the DC for school or nursery without help.

They cut corners.....pick up yesterday's socks....th siblings t shirt...they shove them all on and dont wipe faces much either.

Of course there MUST be exceptions...but I haven't met them yet.

YABU. It's quite nice and she won't be wearing it for long

Pagwatch I agree - they do get all the good stuff. My sister has recently sent me a raincoat for DD and I wish they did it in my size.

My DH FWIW has far better taste in clothes than I do. I love it when he picks stuff out for me and DD.

That is nothing. Someone bought my DD
this

my neighbour dressed her baby in a red leather jacket, twas very fetching!

No-one should wear a fur coat (faux or otherwise) when it's 26C outside....

Personally, I like 3mth old babies in baby clothes not small versions of older children's clothes or adult clothes. Jeans are worse than most other stuff though! If she was 2yrs, then it would be fine but I'd have her in a snuggle suit at 3mths.

But I have to say how disappointed I am to read all this crap about how lucky the OP is that her DH bought something as if he's totally incapable of shopping. Worse still the posts about fathers not coping getting kids ready for school. A tad unreasonable and sexist IMO but I know this is a lighthearted thread.

Oh Good heavens, musttidy! That is truly hideous! We gave away bags and bags of similar stuff to charity all with tags still on. Including the pair of newborn Lacrosse trainers that someone bought us for DS1!

Lawks but that's possibly the vilest baby garment I've ever seen, musttidyupmusttidyup.

Sorry that should be Lacoste, not lacrosse!

Thanks for the sympathy. I had to smile and thank when I opened it. It came with a matching pair of Disney harem style jeans. Im a bit miffed that anyone (esp family) would think I would dress my beautiful girl in that!
