Bum prints “bumpkins” unnecessary and a little creepy?

[SNWannabe]

This is a new thing apparently and being offered at ceramic painting places. I think it’s undignified for babies and the detail in the prints are pretty clear and I find it weird and a bit creepy anyone would want to display their child’s bottom in this way.
AIBU?

YANBU that's very strange 😂 can't we stick with cute little hand and foot prints?!

Bit weird yeah

🤮

Gross!!

Yeah ive seen these advertised the last couple of years and they are weird af 🤣

I didn’t even know that was a thing … How odd and kind of creepy

Doesn't even look like a bum unless you know what it is. Not cute like hands and feet. Totally pointless and yeah, a bit weird.

Late stage capitalism at its finest, depending on your viewpoint it’s ‘innovative’ in finding an untapped market, or yet more crap on the trashheap of pointless consumerism.

Fucking weird.

Grim.

Hands and feet yes, bums ... HELL NO

Let's hope they don't want to keep comparing 'to current' to see how much they've grown!

I can't decide if this is worse than the bread you can buy with the crusts already cut off, or not.

My local pottery painting cafe place does this. I can't work out if this means they're stripping babies down in front of everyone?! I go there with my little ones occasionally for normal pottery painting. I've not seen bumpkins anywhere before this year though.

Too close to the word blumpkin for my taste!

That's so weird.
What a terrible idea.

Oh goodness, that's just horrible and creepy. I cannot imagine why anyone would think it's a good idea to do that to their baby! 🙁

Grim. Not helped by the fact I've recently seen diarrhoea nearly that exact colour all over my niece's bum during a nappy change 🤢

Just imagine being a grown adult, and your parents still have, pride of place on the wall, a ceramic plate with a print of your arse on it.

No. Just no.

Why, just why?

Yeah, it's a bit weird.

Nowhere near as bad as the psychopaths who pierce babies ears though...

Very weird.

TBH I don't get the foot/handprint thing either. Until DD was born I'd only ever heard of this in the context of making a memento of a baby who'd been stillborn. I can absolutely see why you would do that, but I find it hard not to think of that association.

Had to Google 'blumpkin',

• well, what a sheltered life I've led... 😵

I guess I'm sheltered too! Can't unlearn that!

Whatever next.... 'Little Dickies' maybe?!! It's gross!
