AIBU to not buy my dd something she wants

[ScafellPoke]

Because I think it’s naff!

She’s only 5, and she want a jojo bow like her friends in school.

I know it’s not the end if the world if she does have one, but I just think they’re so horribly naff and tacky!

It would be a very cheap and easy to make her very happy. I think it would be crap to put your sense of fashion above that.

Don’t get offended user

My dd's had them.
And I have never drank Carling..

Get her one of these instead ..... so much cooler than bows

You’re right auntie and I felt bad just writing this thread!

Indidn’t actually realise there were branded more expensive ones!... I saw some for £1 wach the other day, so will just get one.

I know my mum used to cringe at my purple chunky cords that cleaned the floor as I walked 😂

Oh green they are so much cooler!! I think it’s the fact that they common (as in popular/fashionable, not chavvy!) I’ve never been one for following trends and I’d like to try and instill a bit of that in to dcs

I’m not offended at all. Just think the judgemental/stereotypical comments re: Jojo bows are hilarious.

Get it her.

Dd2 walked round in the hideous pink polka dot Spanish high heels mil bought her back from Spain and I cringed every time we was out.

Don't get me started on her frozen coat her bloody dad bought her. She loved it

Just say no - she’ll forget about it in no time

They remind me of the bows that were popular during the soviet era.

How about a bow thats different. Theres a lady on facebook page called sunshine bows her bows are beautiful and very different and not so expensive.

I think they are future land fillers

Look round a school hall you have 30 odd girls at £10 a pop - £300 wasted on silly stuff.

And then out of fashion they go and into the bin

There the in thing st School! My DD has afew there not that bad the pack of smallish ones are ok

I had to google.

Utterly hideous, but I'm sure she'll grow out of it, and cringe at photos

Good future blackmail for you OP

I’ll have to tell the mums of the private school theatre school I work with that they are chavs for letting their kids wear them.

Hilarious but true though

Hey morgan you can still be a chav and be rich. Look at Abbey Clancy

I couldn’t bring myself to buy one. I’d find some other cute hair accessory and get that.

Just buy her one she will love it

Oh, for goodness sake. Just buy it.

True how? So every little girl who wears a Jojo bow is a chav who’s parents drink Carling?

Why would you judge a child or their families because of a bow? Get a grip.

They’re just hair bobbles. Some of the comments on here say far more about the people making them, than the parents of the kids wearing them.

Having said that, peak Jojo was about 3 years ago. I wouldn’t buy a branded one now as I think they’re on their way out.

user I do think you are offended by the comments on here.
Telling someone on mn to get a grip is a defense mechanism and so over used.

Also user I think you’ll find it wasn’t me who called them chavvy. I called them tacky, which they are

YABU, she is 5, not 25.

Let her have her jojo bow!
