'Funny' babygrow - or not?

I think this wording for a babygro is horrible

It was me who raised Disney - yes, I am hostile to it - and all that it seems to stand for, frankly. Definitely not "sniffy" as you think. Much more complex than sniffy!

I thought I might be on my own somewhat with this one as the stuff is ubiquitous.

I just think all these slogans are coarse and vulgar and tell me all I would want to know about the donor or the parent who would put a baby in them.

I have no problem over what style of clothes people choose to dress their babies, colour, style, pattern but anyone who thinks putting slogans on baby clothes that sexualise the baby, or make unpleasant fun of other people are beyond the pale as far as I am concerned.

It’s not about whether people have these things done - it’s about a tacky babygrow and the sort of parent who thinks it’s funny.

Germanshepherdsmum, I said take the thread as a whole and it is very judgemental. Who says that people here have good taste? So if you disagree, you don't have good taste? Personally I wouldn't have anything that is mentioned in 'the' babygrow' done but I don't judge people who do. I'd be more judgemental if they actually let their children do these things but this is merely a joke on a child too young to know.

I did write 'perhaps' ... and wondered what the reaction would be. She is not from Leicester Maw- did you read the article?

Apologies to mums in Leicester - wrong conclusion because you linked to Leicester News

Who has said that everything with writing or a Disney picture on it is unacceptable and that baby clothes should be plain as they were years ago? Nobody. I suspect that the children of people who have posted here have pretty good taste, like their mothers, and wouldn’t dress a baby in something so tacky.

The other one is perhaps funny? lol

When I grow up
I want to wear a moustache
just like Granny!

As a grandmother with a facial hair problem I could be offended by that but I choose not to be.

It's not to my taste but can't help feeling there is a looking down your nose, judgemental quality to these posts. We had our turn dressing our babies in plain baby grows, let the younger generations do it their way. As long as it isn't offensive with bad language, I don't see a problem.

Well the OP was asking for opinions, no?

... so GNs have given them!

Yes, to that particular Baby Grow...not to everything with writing on or a Disney picture on! Read as a whole, it makes us sound very sniffy!

But it is offensive.

Ah yes. Do you really think reactions would be vastly different elsewhere?

Weren’t the women who were interviewed from Leicester? Some seemed to think it was fine - such as the one who spoke about the revolting bib.

No the other one isn’t funny fleurpepper.

Rather bad publicity for Leicester mums’ taste isn’t it?

Eurgghhh 🤮

No, not funny either

Says more about the person that buys it (could be a parent) or the parent who puts it on their child than anything else.

Despite everything that feminism has done for women in the last 200 years, there are still millions, if not billions of people who still see a new born girl solely in terms of making her look attractive to men.

Fleurpepper the maker comes across as a total ignoramus in the article! Anybody who doesn’t like her “design” is referred to as a snowflake Karen. Charming.

Agree 100%, tacky in the extreme. Agree also about the Disneyfication of children - Disney disgusts me now.
Saw recently a photo of mother and eleven year old both wearing the exact same makeup (lots) and hairstyle. Mum’s comment, “ so cute, mini me”!!! I was horrified that a beautiful little girl looked anything like a forty something mother.

The one I remember from when my children were small was "Left handers are the only people in their right minds" this was thought to be hilarious at the time.

I can’t bear them we get some come in the charity shop that are so rude or inappropiate they go straight in the bin

I don't like any of these type outfits - but putting little ones in Disney promotion outfits it not my thing either.

I'm possibly out on a limb here but hate the "Disneyfication" of children.
Not sure if that's a word - but would never buy Disney marketing clothes for little ones either.

Oh not on your own at all. 100% with you.

A friend who lives in the USA keeps posting videos of his grand-daughter about 8, on pageants and so called gymnastics shows- sexualised in the extreme, tons of make up, etc. I just hide the post.
