'Funny' babygrow - or not?

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.

It’s a brave grandma who doesn’t get a Frozen dress for her granddaughter! Though mine are so over it now at 8 and 11

I hate clothes for babies and little ones with silly or inappropriate slogans on. ‘Daddy’s little Princess’, ‘Mummy’s little man’ etc etc- all toe curlingly yuk! My daughter was given a couple of such as presents when her children were small. They never wore them!

Not funny, just really sad

Not keen on that.

...you can always write 'never' in indelible ink. Better than high heels for babies who can't even walk... i.pinimg.com/originals/0c/2f/a5/0c2fa50b39448d198874490983f72eb1.jpg

Jon Bennet Ramsey comes to mind 🥲

My little granddaughters have princess outfits they are lovely. Tacky slogans on baby clothes are a different kettle of fish and unnecessary.

Just - no - for goodness sake. I really dislike words on clothing (or walls) that are supposed to be 'jokes', inspiring or amusing -I just find them vulgar.

I don't like it either

small print.

Not having seen the offending article I'm wondering how they fitted all those words on a very small babygro? Just saying........

I find the slogan original post offensive but don't understand what is wrong with Disney?

I'm confused as well, my GC/GGC love Disney toys, costumes.

Not my baby so not my problem.

Indeed.

Ours dress theirs decently not offensively, I'm content.

It is not a question of taste, it is a question of sexualising babies.

I have a DGD, just about 16 and fake tans, lip filler, fake eyelashes and slug eyebrows do not feature in her life or that of her friends.

I find the slogan original post offensive but don't understand what is wrong with Disney?

Not amusing to me. Glad I’m not alone in that.

Spot on, Dickens.

Not keen on slogans on clothes myself. Not even Baby. I won’t wear anything that say on the outsude who made it either.

It so upsets me that teenage girls are encouraged, expected even, to have slug eyebrows, false eyelashes, and artificial nails like bear claws ... and will probably feel that pumped up lips, enhanced boobs, etc, will be the normal next step.

My grand-daughter is 14, and some of her friends are already following as above- and the pressure for others to follow is on all the time.

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

Just happened to see it in Leicester Mercury website.

But it is offensive.

a lot more offensive than bad language

*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.

... but this is merely a joke on a child too young to know.

Hmm.

'Adult' humour on babies' clothing designed to amuse adults makes me feel a little uncomfortable. There's something slightly cynically exploitative about it.

I must be a GOW - Grumpy Old Woman or had a sense of humour failure because I don't find these slogans in the slightest but amusing.

Mind you, I don't think my DD or DIL do either.

Wyllow my DGD loved pink until they were about 7 and then it became 'disgusting'!

I must have a very tacky family. My DS thought the "Dad Instructions" one was hilarious.

OTOH dead against Disney and the overdone pink and blue et al. Mind you, 6 yr old granddaughter loves everything pink but has a tiger outfit too.

With you all the way, Notspaghetti about Disney. If children must be dressed in Winnie the Pooh clothes at least use the E.H. Shepard illustrations!
