A onesie? I love my onesie but I wouldn't wear it in public.

Darkling · 19/05/2012 20:36

YANBU to have seen it but she WBU to wear it in public if that's what you were getting at.

They are all the rage, according to my cousin (18) I have seem them in republic and they cost about £120. I am sure there are cheaper ones but I can't imagine I would have ever worn one. Cousin also has one as do all of his mates with the us flag. Not pink fluffy ones, he wouldn't forgive me if I didn't point that out even here.

My daughter has a black one with a white tummy and ears and whiskers and a tail and little mittens with paw pads. She lives in it and even wears it to school Shock. I pretend I don't know her.

IAmBooyhoo · 19/05/2012 20:40

and no OP you YANBU to see this. Wink

TheUnMember · 19/05/2012 20:42

They don't wear school uniforms here. The only dress code is no team shirts, slogans or swastikas. The teachers wear jeans and trainers.

AgentZigzag · 19/05/2012 20:42

You've got to get your priorities right UnMember, you're supposed to embarrass her

It's rule no. 34.

Mine is pink. With ears and a little white tummy patch. I had no idea it was a fahion item. 'Tis vair cosy in a house with no central heating though. Wait... I have no tail! I have been cheated!

IAmBooyhoo · 19/05/2012 20:45

ah right. i was picturing your DD swanning into school in her onesie amongst all teh others in their full uniform!

Emandlu · 19/05/2012 20:45

I have a flying squirrel onesie. I threaten the children that I will come and pick them up in it if they misbehave. Grin

IAmBooyhoo · 19/05/2012 20:46

but dont you have to take the whole top half off if you want to do a pee? or is there a pee hole? Confused

Babylon1 · 19/05/2012 20:47

My DS has loads of onesies - he is 3 weeks old Hmm

This is the only acceptable age for wearing them in public - after 18 months old it is just wrong!!

What people wear in their own homes is up to them of course!!!

AgentZigzag · 19/05/2012 20:47

I would admire someone who had the balls of steel to do that Booy.

Does it work Emandlu?

RubyGates · 19/05/2012 20:48

I think some of them have erm.... flaps. I have to unzip mine though.

TheUnMember · 19/05/2012 20:48

No but one offered her a cigarette while on a cross country walk and she came home early from a school disco because she couldn't handle the teachers being drunk and leary.

AgentZigzag · 19/05/2012 20:49

Ooooh a three week old in beautiful pure white babygrow Babylon

DD1 has one. She's 13 on Monday. It's pink orange purple and grey stripes. We call it her babygro.

But she hasn't worn it outside the house yet.

OAM2009 · 19/05/2012 20:53

I bought DH a Superman one for Christmas (Primark £15.99, xxxxxl) and it just saved our marriage.

I was packing his bag as I was going to kick him out and divorce him and I shoved it in as he has no other pyjamas. He unpacked his bag to sleep in the spare room until a divorce in the morning and started giggling when he saw it. I joined in cos he has a lovely giggle and all was better.... Smile

Babylon1 · 19/05/2012 20:53

AgentZizag tis lovely!! My last one too, so getting lots of snuggles in Grin

Hopefullyrecovering · 19/05/2012 20:53

Brilliant idea Agent. I shall buy a onesie for myself and wear it to embarrass my teenagers.
