should I of phrased this differently?

[lordsteatime]

Dear daughter 18 is going a club tonight with friends and she showed me her outfit.
i said 'its great, but use some tit tape or you might accidentally breastfeed someone'

there was a brief pause and then my neighbours may of heard a rather loud angry scream.

After a thump up the stairs and loud grumbling daughter returned with out fit adjusted.

She still hates me.

I found it funny but then I'm dead common.

That's the kind of shit my mum would say to me and I'd say to her

We'd laugh

Your daughter isn't amused so apologise

Stealth, the song was "shoulda, woulda, coulda" - short for should have, would have, could have. Definitely the last words of a fool.

In OP's case, "shoulda spoken to my daughter without the breast feeding reference, so she woulda made sure her breasts were safely enclosed, that way I coulda avoided making her scream".

That was a twatty thing to say OP - and that's why people are taking the piss out of you and your grammar.

Ah limited so witty ,have a clap!

18 year olds are often self conscious. It's mean to humiliate them for your own amusement when they can have a gentle reminder instead.

Although, I agree that this likely to be a GF.

People are taking the piss out of the Op's SPAG because it makes them feel superior to someone who used a phrase they didn't like.
I don't smell troll here, just an awful lot of snobbery...

well I laughed :D

Do people have tit tape lying around their house, or is it a general term for any sticky tape used to prevent boob malfunctions?

Never use standard Sellotape as tit tape ILostItInTheEarlyNineties. I ripped my skin off doing it. It wasn't even double-sided sticky tape, it was the ordinary stuff that I doubled over.

It went on okay but a few hours of body warmth melted the glue onto my skin and it was hard to remove at the end of the night. I tore it off and it hurt a bit but not much - alcohol is an anaesthetic. When I woke up my tits and shoulders (I'd secured the shoulders of my dress too) were scabbed with dried blood and still weeping in places where I'd ripped the skin off.

Yes it was a bit vulgar but it depends on your relationship with DD. I know loads of people who speak to their parents like this and have that kind of relationship, it's just a laugh.

Cab someone describe what you actually do with it?

canary it's called an opinion. Whole point of the post. It isn't snobbery if you think the comment is crude/crass. Snobbery/decency call it what you will, it all depends on opinion.

Someone please explain tit tape to Stealth

(I want to know too)

I'm sure your DD's reaction would have been the same however you phrased it. They don't like being told that they look all wrong in an outfit or that it is ill-judged when they are aiming for sexy or elegant. She would have been embarrassed and indignant whatever you'd said but it is certainly an odd turn of phrase.

It used to be called toupee tape and was worn by bald men and theatrical types. I felt the need to insert a dull historical reference since we were getting hung up on grammatical accuracy.

I can handle crude when it's witty, but this is just stupid. Is she actually lactating? Then i can see how it'd be semi funny.

Repeating your "hilarious" joke as I thinly veiled AIBU is cringy as fuck though.

*as a

'Tit tape' sounds Yuk.
I hate breasts being called Tits. It's a throw back to the 1960s and 70s when comedians thought jokes about breasts were hilarious.
I don't think it's unreasonable to tell your daughter to sort her breasts out but I am not surprised she reacted the way she did. No need for the breastfeeding remark.

It's double sided tape that sticks your top to your skin so you don't end up flashing someone after a few drinks but doesn't take your skin off with it.
In fact it sticks to your boob for about half an hour then you get too warm, your top moves a bit too much and you end up showing half the club exactly where you placed the tape before you came out.
Just me then?

AIBU was your question. YABU is the answer. FUCK NO is your attitude. SO why the fuck did you post here?

You can get nipple Daisy's as well

Tit tape and nipple daisies is one thing my mum always has in because you never know when you'll need it

I don't know what tit tape is either stealth

a hangover and tit tape injuries sounds like a horrific combo, Limited

Thanks for the tips but I don't have enough chest to worry about escaping boobs I'm afraid. I never get boob spillage.

I think it's funny. I would say it to my daughter. My daughter would have found it funny. Don't apologise. Your daughter needs to lighten up.

Stealth it's double sided sticky tape first invented for wigs. It has a gentler adhesive than standard Sellotape so it doesn't stick fast to your skin and tear off several layers at the end of the night.

Dull fact: the adhesive used on Post It Notes was a failure when first developed because it didn't last a long time. But then someone had the idea of something that needed to stick for a short while but could be peeled off without causing damage.

That way, billions are made.
