Annoying: Sayings on clothes

emmelenemmelen
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
So I went to Target this weekend to get more bibs. I just wanted plain old, simple bibs. But everything out there says something on it. Think: "Cutest Cowgirl", "Daddy's Little Princess", "Love Me", "Cutie Pie", etc. I don't like to speak for my DD. She is cute enough, she doesn't need to tell anyone "Hug Me" or that she's a "Biker Chick." Even the sleep sacks we have say "Adorable" or "Baby Girl." Sorry, venting, but geez. Can't we just keep it simple? I might have to take up sewing...

    Haha... I jsut posted something similar on my local board about baby clothing in general...

     

    It drives me nuts how most of it has some sort of animal/baby pattern on it :(

    BRU has a 10 pack or something that are all just plain, different colours, but nothing dumb on them.

    I totally hear you.  MIL bought him one tht has all these "rules" written on it.  I HATE it.  It is so whiny.  eg. rule 1. I get what I want when I want it rule 2. give me give me give me  etc all the rules are like that.  I know that he can't read it but I just cant' believe she thought it was cute.  It's akin to little girl pants that say princess on the butt, why are we starting this behaviour so early?  Why are we making it cute to be bad?  gah

    agreed.  i think DS has maybe 3 things that don't have puppies on them.  i love dogs, but i am getting sick of puppies because of his clothes!

    also, my BFF sent him a bunch of disney character clothes (love her & am so appreciative) but i can hardly bear to put him in the tigger onesie that says "i'm the favorite."  or the other one that says "chick magnet."  it feels so wrong!

    I hate it when my 5th graders wear shirts with sayings on them. It's really not funny when you see the t-shirt that says "dog ate my homework" all the time, "cereal killer", "I do all my own stunts", etc. Although the cereal killer one was funny at first.

    I don't mind all of them, as long as the sayings are baby appropriate.  Something like "mmmm boobies" is just wrong.

    I agree.  I went to bru yesterday and so many of the clothes were so ugly because of the sayings.

    I feel the same way. Seriously...those sayings are annoying and are everywhere!  It's just gotten out of control. Enough already. :)

    This is the only one, I was okay with DS wearing. I exchanged all the other saying shirts, character clothes or in took the patches off.

    Definitely!! MIL bought DD onesies with goofy sayings on them and I have not even put them on her yet!! I saw some real cute sets at BRU yesterday but every one I looked at closer said "Daddy's Princess" "Mommy's Cupcake" UGGHHH...the only time I don't mind those sayings are on bibs for some reason. lol

    To the original poster, Target does have plain solid-colored bibs - I think it's 10 for $9. 

    I agree about the sayings - my least favorite are the grandma ones where it says "what happens at grandma's stays at grandma's" - um, no.

    I don't like the sayings (ex. "I don't have to be good, I'm cute") but I do like the ones with just one word on them, like 'adorable' or 'lovely'. Actually, I also don't mind the "I love mom/dad" sayings.

    I agree!  Someone gave DD a pack with stuff like 'Bossy Beyond Belief', 'Focus on Me'  but they are the nice, absorbent ones, so she wears them backwards :)

    I agree the sayongs are out of control!  I am about to get one that says "I'm a girl" though because she has been called a boy a few times, even when her clothing is screaming girl.  Ugh I feel bad correcting people all the time.

    I hate characters on clothing too.  Why can't they just wear plain shirts/cute patterns or pants?  geeze!

    The worst is all the crap that says "DIVA" or "Diva in training..."

    blech.  Girl clothing is worse than boys, IMO.  Everything inexpensive says "pretty girl" or "I love daddy" or "princess"
