WTAF

[HeCantBeSerious]

Someone on a FB group wanting these. Got a mouthful of abuse for suggesting it might not be a brilliant idea to put these anywhere near a baby given the obvious naffness choking risks. Apparently they're fine because they just get clipped onto the pram hood and not the baby.

WTF is the point?!

Well, without one there's a danger someone might think your newborn daughter was a boy

Isn't that what those hideous headbands are for?

I agree with PaulAnkaTheDog - maybe the way you worded your concern came across as a little condescending?

They are not my cup of tea but I have seen quite a lot of people with them around here - they are out of arms reach - attached to prams (not buggies but actual prams with the carrycot element) on the hood and the baby can not reach them. It would be a very boring world if we were all the same, liking exactly the same things do you not think?

Well. Goodness. Look at that.

Poor baby, Meck?

And people 'cracking up' at chavalanche?

These threads always show some people's true colours, and it isn't pretty.

Chavalanche?

Christ that is nasty!

Ah, headband bashing now. Just need someone to mention ear piercing and I get a line on my 'judgemental mumsnetters bingo'.

Well, now you mention it..........

What a tasteless item but everybody has different tastes so somebody looks at that amd thinks it's nice but wouldn't like things I've got for baby. Different strokes different folks

Perhaps she'll have an assistant from Claire's on standby at the birth.

Poor baby, Meck?

Ruby River, I said Ruby in isolation is a perfectly fine name, of course.

I actually said the 'decoration' was tasteful

Now there's a thought - do they make them with matching headbands?

What's the betting it'll be given edible glitter in the formula so any spit up is sparkly.

(Joke)

Exactly that usual. They should be embarrassed.

Utter tat.

Genuinely, does it make you feel good to sneer at and mock people with different tastes to you?

TBF, I also sneer at the feckers who wear their collars turned up and say 'Yah'. I'm an equal opportunities cunt!

SalemSaberhagen was about to ask you the same thing about being all morally superior on here?

Reminds me of the big dummy lollies that you see at the seaside, combined with those wine glasses with glitter on them! Live & let live though!

If you can tell me how it is in any way comparable, I'd love to hear it aye.

Thinking on it, I have seen something very similar to these on one of those Facebook selling page threads.

Now now, people, don't be so judgemental. I think I'll order two. They'd make fabulous earrings for Pat Butcher

I think they are hideous personally, but is there any need to be so horrible about people who do like them?

I bet you have a ton of jangly shit on your car keys. This isn't much different. It's just needless decoration, but seriously, is there any need for the nastiness?

I hope you have impeccable taste yourselves

Actually, that dangly thing is growing on me now that I've realised it's personalised. I have a soft spot for people taking that much trouble over pointless things but with names on.

I do think those diamanté dummies are a terrible hazard though. Plenty of people decorating dummies at their kitchen tables to sell on Facebook (etc) and then a baby picks that day to get its hand-eye coordination good enough to slurp a mouthful of plastic and glue.
