Lighthearted-ish. Bickering this morning... DH has dressed baby in an England babygrow. It was a present from his best friend when they were newborn. It was given with a chuckle, so I see it as something to wear in the house when football is on, for a cute photo, but not to be seen in out of the house.

Today DH has dressed 4mo and I will be out all day. I want to change him but DH thinks I'm being a massive snob.

YABU - you are being a snob. It's just a baby.
YANBU - I am cringing in solidarity and feel your pain. Get him changed now!

Is it?
Where have I been? I’ve completely missed that!
Op, come and live where I live. You’ll miss all the footballing news.

Maybe we're neighbours. I had no idea either!

Oops... 🫥

He's baby number 2 if that makes a difference.

🤣 I actually can't imagine what this looks like. Yellow jersey? Cycling shorts?

Yellow bodysuit with Tour de France emblazoned across the front, a tiny pair of black cycling shorts, a bright yellow cotton baby hat because “a helmet would be too hot” (as though they made cycling helmets in size 0-3 months), and DD was clutching a crocheted bicycle one of his friends had sourced as a new baby gift.

3 years on and it remains the most effort & dedication he’s put into an outfit choice, most of the time she looks like he’s picked her outfits out in the dark now, or maybe thrown the clean laundry basket into the air and selected based on how items have landed.

I’m glad the only thing I’m snobby about is socks. I do like a nice comfy pair of socks.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 05/08/2023 11:09

As long as it was pure cotton, TBH I wouldn’t be bothered.
But I dare say it’d be polyester.

I asked DH. It's the woman's. I had no idea.

LTB
Seriously.

Firstly I couldn’t marry a “football” person and secondly anyone that thinks that awful synthetic fabric is acceptable should be shot.

What a joy you sound 🤣

Ilovecleaning · 05/08/2023 22:51

I’m like you, OP - full of bull shit snobbery. But life’s too short so just let it go. In the end, we all die… 😊

Yamatoosogani · 05/08/2023 23:05

Baby came out of your bits, not his,you get the executive decision on things.

Make your husband spend a day in a wimbledon themed tennis outfit. See how he likes it

'But i dont like tennis!'

Ohh so your opinions matter?

Baby cant say 'football sucks' at the moment, best not brainwash them i say.

Anothnamechang · 06/08/2023 00:20

I’m a massive football fan & my daughters all have our teams tops. My youngest doesn’t fit hers as of yet but I did take her smallest footie outfit into nicu for some pictures when our team was playing 🤣

Although if your not into football and going on a solo outing with baby then Yanbu as it can be a conversation starter and not one your interested in x

cambslass · 06/08/2023 07:04

Your baby has 2 parents. dad can choose what baby wears sometimes. Just relax and enjoy this precious time.

IWantAShitzu · 06/08/2023 10:22

Burn the baby grow.

I’m Welsh though 🤣🤣

I'm with you @youaintmymother - I am married to a football fan - been married for 46 years but he only wears his shirts to a match - I would cringe if ever he wore it at any other time, especially away from the house, but then I am a snob I suppose ha ha. He doesn't mind though (I think) :)
