why would you put that on a baby

Was the book even out nine months ago?

I saw ones once that said "all daddy wanted was a blow
Job" and "all mummy wanted was a massage". horrific.

I also saw one of my facebookfriends had put her twins in babygros. One said "I was planned" the other said "I was a mistake"

PMSL at "Nobody could ever have a problem with promoting pornography on babies surely? "
The "been inside" one is on the right side of acceptable IMO but who wants to dress their baby as a little stand up comdian?

the "planned" and "mistake" twins thing is really horrible.

And I fretted about wearing "my mummy is yummy" (gift) when ds was a newborn! Do these people not think??

On ebay you can get toddler sized t shirts that have an image of an amunition belt on them. I find that horrid.

Awful, horrible. Am I the only one to find slogan of the "I love my mummy" variety pretty dreadful too.

Mother in law bought my DD one that says "I love daddy, cupcakes and cuddles". When I've been a bit lax with the laundry she wears it on occasion - always gets lots of "isn't it cute" feedback, but I think it's naff... bleurgh!

OH FFS some of you really haven't got enough to worry about. It might not be to your taste but that doesn't mean the people who do think these things are funny are bad parents and evil people.

DS has had various 'slogan' t-shirts over the years, mostly given as gifts or bought second hand; he was a pukey baby and a messy toddler (he's still one of those kids that's just a dirt magnet) so we got through a lot of clothes in a day and I soon got over being precious about what he wore as long as it was clean and fitted him.

I admit I secretly want to buy DD the t-shirt that says 'The one the Daily Mail warned you about', just to piss off my evil Mail reading inlaws.

ew

ew to the 50 shades t shirt that is

Just yuck to all of these. I too hate the "I love mummy" type things. DD was given one and I couldnt bear her to wear it. Its not just that its naff, its also that its kind of up to her if she loves mummy or not (god that sounds a bit mad doesnt it?).

Surely there's nothing wrong with 'daddy's little princess'? Many dads, and mums for that matter, refer to their daughters as 'princess', there's hardly a disturbing connotation behind it... Unless for some reason you read the word 'princess' and assume it's the negative meaning of 'spoilt little princess/pampered little prince' etc?

As a twin mum I have to say the planned/mistake babygrows did make me laugh! Mostly because you get so many people assuming you had IVF so it's one way of fending off that conversation. Wouldn't be brave enough to dress them in it in public though...

I despise the whole 'Daddy's little princess' stuff, we were given a whole set of hand-me-down stuff with that, 'Pretty like Mummy' and, completely inexplicably, 'Bunny's Little garden' on it. There wasn't a rabbit motif, nothing, it just MAKES NO SENSE. Lazy design, gah.

There are so many things wrong with describing your daughter as 'Princess' I can't even begin!

Connotations of being spoilt - the idea that they don't do anything for themselves and daddy is a mug.
Aspirations of being rather than doing - girls 'are', boys 'do' gender stereotyping

And the fact that anyone who was a princess wouldn't be seen dead wearing anything with the word 'Princess' on it.

And so on.

It's just awful. So awful!

We were given a pack of body suits with slogans like '100% cute' on them. One said 'part of the family'. Well, err, yes.

I got DD a babygro which says "I see BIG people" - DP & I think it's funny.

The local craft fair which does the rounds a few times a year has a company called Preschool Punk who do loads of punk & ska related clothing for babies & toddlers - I can't wait until November when they'll be around again so I can get DD a "Rude Girl" babygro or t-shirt. We like our music and DD has been having a good introduction to BBC Radio 6.

So DS shouldn't be wearing his 'I'm the reason we can't have nice things' t-shirt?

I STILL don't see the problem with girls wearing 'daddy's/mummy's little princess' stuff. But maybe I'll feel differently if I ever have a DD [shrug]

Folkgirl, I'm in London, and I think I've seen almost all of the ones other posters describe at one time or another. I agree with you on the 'Daddy's Little Princess' thing, but then for some people I am some kind of mad, uptight femiNazi, because I don't dress my five-month-old baby boy in anything that has cars, tractors, or slogans that say HERE COMES TROUBLE or LITTLE MONSTER. Which means we have quite a few unworn presents in the bottom drawer.

When my sister and i were younger, we had matching t-shirts that said "thing 1" and "thing 2", from Cat in the Hat...

Ive seen various father/son 'combo' tshirts that say things like "master/apprentice" in star wars font, and "pint/half-pint"

:/

Wow. I actually shuddered looking at those. I know the type who'd make their babies wear those too. Sad.

For me, PomBears , it's more about wanting people to see DD as more than just a pretty little thing sitting there. And making inferences about her I'd rather they didn't make.

My daughter is sugar and spice and all things nice. But she's also slugs and snails and puppy dogs tails and I don't want a word written on a t shirt to influence the response she elicits from other people.

That's all!

I expect the designer has been on the Jeremy Kyle Show so thought everyone is alike.

Ewww!
