to dislike 6 year olds wearing che gevara t.shirts, toddlers wearing led zeppelin t shirts etc.,

[slartybartfast]

surely it is a waste of money. and how does the toddler/6 year old even know or understand their t.shirt.

I agree about Nelson, Malcom etc too.

To be honest I wince when there are people like Beyonce posing with Mandela and proclaiming he is purely for the reasons mentioned above.

I see no problem with children wearing band tshirts... I dislike children being used to display parents "political" views.

but do they really like led zeppelin

Both my girls have Guns n Roses Tees. And yes, they both LOVE the band. They are 3 & 9.

I'd rahter see little kids in band t-shirts than in No Added Sugar tops with 'they beat me' etc on

Agree. Or 'dad only wanted a blow job'. [cringe]

Hmmm I saw a babygro that siad 'they shake me' and I found it rather funny.
Cba getting the hump about kids clothes.

Kids like whatever makes mummy look happy btw. If you were a Kylie fan your daughters would LOVE Kylie!

My 3 dds have all worn the Mama ain't raising no fool t-shirts. We were given one as a present for dd1 and its done all 3.

I don't have a problem with band t-shirts at all but if band t-shirts are ok, then so is character wear etc. I remember a thread last year where posters got all arsey over children wearing the likes of Peppa Pig stuff. At least I know my 18 month likes that.

Hehehe - that's funny because I pretty much ban any tv character clothes. I find them crass and ugly to my own eye, so I don't buy them.
I don't mind if anyone else does though.

pic sorry I don't understand your post at 08:50 ...you think that babygrow was funny

Yes. And before you start, no I don't find children being abused funny, even if I do have a black sense of humour at times.
And?

Well then I remain perplexed.

what have I missed? how is that funny?

I'm not going to argue with you. Sorry.

After hearing Neil diamond on the radio yesterday my son has been going about singing forever in blue jeans.

I will not be buying a Neil diamond t shirt - not cool!

Ohhh come on Neil DIamond is way cool - Forever In Blue Jeans is a cracker!
Also - a lot of us grew up with our parents listening to Neil Diamond, and I think it's true to say (for me anyway) that hearing his better known tracks sets off a sense of lovely melancholy nostalgia.
Therefore, a Neil Diamond t-shirt and how your ds came to be wearing it would make a fun talking point and raise a few smiles.
I would chuckle at it anyway...

Not that you'd find a Neil Diamond t-shirt, more's the pity.

I wouldn't argue with you pic you sound a rather sad individual.

Ok then.

pic -

I've seen that babygrow, I chuckled too...

Fem - You've just tried to start an argument then threw around the insults. Y'know what they say about people in glass houses right?

YANBU -waste o' money IMO. Save the difference between the rock-group t-shirt and a cheapie from a supermarket for their higher education !

glass in my first post to pic I asked her to explain further, along the lines of perhaps I didn't have the whole story.

I was then told that she didn't want to start an argument

I didn't either. However, leaving a her comment as it stood, was odd to say the least.

Fem - Sorry, it seems to me that you were brewing an argument not the other way round.

If you don't have that kind of humour, that's fine. No need to start calling people "sad individuals" is there?

I think if one leaves such a comment, and refuses to explain any further its really rather strange.

Just my opinion. You can quit your PR job now, I'm done.

YABU (a bit). My kids have some band t-shirts, because they like the music. DS1 has a Doors t-shirt because he loves them. He got really very upset when he grew out of it and it got passed down to DS2. He also has a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers t-shirt, which took me an age to track down - he has been obsessed with them since he was about 3 (he is 4 now). I am bloody sick of them now because that's all he wants to listen to.

Fem - What needed explaining. She see a "they shake me" slogan on a babygrow and it made her laugh

If I ever have another baby I will be getting them a big bang theory Bazinga baby vest :o
