The wording on the front says

'when do I'

get a spray tan
false eyelashes
&lip filler

just like Mummy?'

Funny? Or?

Charleygirl5 Mon 20-Mar-23 08:18:37

Inappropriate in my view.

Juliet27 Mon 20-Mar-23 08:19:38

I suppose it’s slightly better than ‘when can I become a boy’ !!

Offensive to Mummy at the very least!
Actually offensive at every level - where on earth did you see this?

NanaDana Mon 20-Mar-23 08:24:49

Parents using their baby as an advertising hoarding in an attempt to highlight their own "funny" sense of humour. Not a good look.. Own goal...

Yes.

Not at all funny what on earth happened to plain white babygro's ?

Germanshepherdsmum Mon 20-Mar-23 08:36:57

Not in the least amusing.

Wyllow3 Mon 20-Mar-23 09:15:17

so many fab ones to choose from, too.

About on par with the stripped one's doing the rounds a few years ago on Newborns saying"I've just escaped".DD's one for GD escaped into the recycle pile.

I find it difficult to believe, frankly.

Lots of "funnies" and personalised ones on Etsy.

Here's a "funny"

Tacky.

Namsnanny Mon 20-Mar-23 09:25:36

Why does nearly everyone make nearly everything about them?
Like Pink Floyd said, 'leave those kids alone' 😄

Kalu Mon 20-Mar-23 09:29:25

So tacky and, I agree, offensive.

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.

henetha Mon 20-Mar-23 09:47:32

I don't like it. Let babies be babies and children be children.

Agree. And everything pink and sparkly for girls...... Just WHY???

GrannyGravy13 Mon 20-Mar-23 09:50:22

Not my baby so not my problem.

Blossoming Mon 20-Mar-23 09:50:53

Gross, not the sort of thing I’d buy.

Fleurpepper Mon 20-Mar-23 10:40:12

From Leicester Mercury. Apparently anyone who objects has no soh!

The other one is perhaps funny? lol

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

Calendargirl Mon 20-Mar-23 10:44:05

Not the same, but a child’s tee shirt that annoyed me said ‘The whole world revolves around me’.

Actually, no, it doesn’t, but some parents seem to believe this of their offspring.

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.

BlueBelle Mon 20-Mar-23 10:52:36

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
