Slogan t-shirts/sweatshirts that advertise your status as a mother - ghastly right?

[FallArmyWorm]

I cringe when I see someone wear one. Do you?

I’ve never seen one. What do they say?

Depends what it is - funny self deprecating joke, OK. 'I'm the mummy of a little princess' or something bleaurgh!

It's not my cup of tea. The annoying little people that follow me around all day generally advertise my status as a mother.

But I wouldn't notice probably if anyone else had one! No worse than mugs that say world's greatest nan or similar.

Yup ghastly

Each to their own.

I’ve got a breastfeeding top that says Mutha in gold letters. Is that the sort of thing you meant?!

I suppose the 'announcement' on something you wear is so much louder than it is on a mug.... It feels more like you're trumpeting something if you're wearing it.

Do you mean the naff ones ala 'mummy to a princess' or the trendy Mother etc expensive middle class ones?. Actually I hate them all, what am I saying

@CocoDeMoll yes, that kind of thing. There are some quite 'fashionable' tops out there now which bear the 'mother'/mum/muvva slogan in some way. As in, they're quite tasteful (and expensive), and nicely designed. But I still cringe.

At least the spelling Mutha hints at some kid unfriendly language which readers it humour

Then I’m guilty

@ILoveDolly cross post with my last one...I had the nice, expensive ones in mind. I took it as read that the tacky ones are ghastly and universally acknowledged as such!

I quite like the winging it one, and hurrah for gin, but can't quite bring myself to buy one as it does seem a bit embarrassing!

it's ok @ILoveDolly....there are support groups you can attend which I'm sure will help wean you off such things!

I will accept MUTHA as long as you acknowledge that it is swearing and therefore funny. All the others can go in the bin INCLUDING the ones that say Human

Swearing is the only reason I bought it!! And that it zips down the side. all the BF friendly tips look like they should be worn by someone far classier than myself

I cringe also because I think it can be so easy to lose one's identity a bit as a mother. And you have to fight to retain your identity. Why do an 'own goal' (as I see it) and wear something that so clearly promotes to others your status as mother over and above your identity as a woman/friend/lover etc or just person in her own right!

@ILoveDolly yes, I do agree with you on that actually! I like the pun.

@ILoveDolly sorry, got you mixed up in an earlier post with Coco.

They all shit and look hiddious.

And I totally agree with the own goal.

Never seen a mother one.. but I’ve seen ‘wifey’ tops on eBay. I’m not a fan of that shite. 😂

Any thought on Run Mummy Run?

Do you mean the Selfish Mother brand ones that raise money for charity?
