So my partner has bought this tea shirt for his 3 year old granddaughter. I know what I think of it but I'd like to ask you what you all think?

It would look better in the bin.

I can't handle how much I'm cringing about a grandad trying to be aggressive through a t shirt on a toddler, I think I'd leave someone for this, because I'd be so put off I'd never be able to sleep with them again!

There's loads of these around on the internet, I think they've almost become a meme - they seem to be generated using random words to appeal to people with specific interests... although a load of cliched ones like this

It's hideous, for all the reasons listed above.

There's also way too much reading involved. Nobody is going to be able to read all that!

Bloody awful sexist crap. I would say bin it but that just adds to landfill. Can he return it?

nilcarborundum · 19/07/2019 20:42

Thank you all for your replies! Most of them are saying exactly what I think Hmm I was shocked when he sent that picture to me , and I think it's in very poor taste. We are both in our 60's and he seems to get more eccentric as he gets older, but this takes the Biscuit
Now all I have to do is convince him NOT to send it!

Wtf is a tea shirt? Confused

WomanLikeMeLM · 19/07/2019 20:43

Saw this today with Mum on it, i laughed, are we supposed to be offended by it?

WomanLikeMeLM · 19/07/2019 20:45

Predictable responses from Mumsnet Perfect Parent Brigade. Hmm

DaphneFanshaw · 19/07/2019 20:46

Oh come on Woman, why can’t we all just get oolong...?

ScrimshawTheSecond · 19/07/2019 20:49

Weird, creepy and inappropriate.

thenightsky · 19/07/2019 20:49

Redwinestillfine · 19/07/2019 20:55

Charity shop it

Ellie56 · 19/07/2019 20:57

Perfectly horrid and totally unsuitable for a three year old.

MitziK · 19/07/2019 20:58

It's perfect. For wearing when having a huge bowl of Bolognese, followed by chocolate icecream and chocolate syrup.

Oh, and a bit of playing in the garden with a hose and mud. Followed by a short wash at 90 degrees.

MrsTommyBanks · 19/07/2019 21:02

No.

Awrite · 19/07/2019 21:04

My Dad would never buy anything so tacky or aggressive. However, even if he were inclined to do so, he's met me so would know there's a snowball's chance in hell that my dd would ever be allowed to wear such a monstrosity.

Has your dp not met his children? Or, would they in fact see the 'humour'?

SheSaidNoFuckThat · 19/07/2019 21:08

It's tacky but nothing worth getting worked up over tbh
