I can't get on board with the "Mommy's little whatever" or "Daddy's little slugger" ones either. I've gotten interesting looks when I've said that opinion outloud before, so thank you all for making me not feel crazy.
Also, I really wish I had a picture of this. Right after DS was born, a friend of mine made me several onesies and asked me if I'd take pics in them for her to use in her Etsy shop. I foolishly agreed, so she asked me a few questions that seemed harmless ("Do you have a nickname for him?" "Oh, I call him Squeak sometime because of the silly noises he makes)....and then came the onesies. One said "My street name is Squeaks" (street name? Really? Can a one month old be "street"?). One said "Tit faced", which I probably should have seen coming when she asked me if I was nursing. Another said "The senoritas think I'm sexy". There were 4-5 others that I can't remember. But I was a shitty friend, and never put them on him once.
@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot oops! I'm guessing I'll do that too accidentally. I think it's totally fine if you're watching TV, on your phone, reading, etc while feeding your baby. I was referring more to those whoes babies are crying and fussing because they need it be fed, held, changed, etc but the parents are looking at their phones rather than attending to their baby's needs.
I really want to know who actually buys these onesies. Like, is it bachelor or college aged uncle who thinks they're hilarious? Or are parents actually buying these for their kids?
I honestly have no problem with onesies that say things. I think a lot of them are cute! But things that sexualize baby or are super gender stereotypical are weird. I did buy my younger daughter a sweatshirt that says "genius" on it. She's a super determined girl and is working so hard in therapy that it makes me smile so much when she wears it! BUT it was only available in the boy's section. Comparable girls sweatshirts say "cutie" on them. Gag.
Whenever I go shopping it's always the onesies with sayings that are on clearance for like $2. I can't bring myself to purchase anything that say's "little princess" or "daddy's girl" no matter how cheap it is.
Curious now about how everyone feels about the maternity shirts with footprints or a baby peeking out of the belly, etc.?
They bother me, but, to each their own.
You know those baby shower cakes that look like a woman's dress, with a prego belly, with a foot poking through---now those are disturbing! Like, why would you want to cut slices out of that?!

These always remind me of Steel Magnolias. Like, is it red velvet? Eww.
I have not seen most of these and now that I have it makes me wonder who actually buys them. I'm cringing reading them. Just awful. I have a couple with words but try to stay away from them as much as possible. Yikes!
Ok, some of these are kind of funny though, wouldn't buy them, but I'll have a good laugh. I bought DS a shirt that simply says "boy" and have a bib that says "these idiots put my cape on backwards"

ooooh myyy goooosh, first few made me laugh but then it got too real I don't know who but I believe people really buy these. Personally have zero clothes with words and if I receive any they'll be under layers in the cold weather.

I'd eat this cake, but I'm weird like that. It's totally creepy, but I think that's why I enjoy it. I couldn't do one of those cakes that looks like a sleeping baby though. That's too far.

Look up cake wrecks baby shower cakes. There are some pretty spectacular and disturbing ones out there.
@ShadeofGreen816 I would cringe at the message, but I can't stop cringing over the grammar! Ugh, terrible on all levels...
My thought exactly. Reminds me of shirts that are made in other countries and are poorly translated! Honestly this is probably one of those instances. And yes the message and grammar are equally appalling.

This one doesn't even make sense...:
Generally I think it's in poor taste for baby clothes to have curse words... actually I think it's in poor taste for any clothes tovhave curse words!
This thread is amazing(ly terrible).
My H wanted to get this onesie when our DD was little, it was a hard no from me.

ETA: She also bought a Phillies onesie. I'm a Pirates fan and DH is an Orioles fan, so it kind of missed the mark.
