I don't want her growing up with the "I'm a princess" mentality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-561342 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 02:12:25 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 561342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleGBee: That's awesome!<br /> One of our friends took the pink rule so literally that he got us a black onesie that says, "I don't do pink." Of course, I didn't have the heart to tell him that the onesie broke rule #2 and we happily wore it. We have NEVER, however, broken rule #3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-561333 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 01:34:09 +0000 LittleGBee 561333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Oh, yeah, we bent the pink rule...but I wanted it to be on our terms and I wanted my mom to understand which pinks I liked (dusty, not neon), before sending her out into the great unknown of baby clothing. Luckily, she's been doing a fabulous job...with a few exceptions. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-561331 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 01:32:01 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 561331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleGBee: Those are my rules too, but my daughters do look fabulous in pink, so we've bent #1 a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-561322 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 01:23:49 +0000 LittleGBee 561322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made rules for both sets of our parents when we found out our daughter was a she. 1. No pink. 2. No words. 3. No princesses. It's worked out fabulously. :) </p> <p>And as a bit of background, I'm not totally ungrateful: My mom shops all.the.time, and mostly at hallmark, so these ground rules were essential to our relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-561312 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 01:07:00 +0000 googly-eyes 561312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually think the daddy's girl things are cute, it makes DH happy. :P But I know what you mean because my MIL did something similar on Xmas and I was wondering whether I should read into it or not, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560761 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:05:12 +0000 sera_87 560761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one or two outfits that are mommy/son related (mommy's secret admirer etc). Thankfully they're pj's so he doesn't wear em much.<br /> The only one I've actually liked is "boob man" because I have an inappropriate sense of humour and find it hilarious. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560648 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 16:18:40 +0000 cascademom 560648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a Valentine's Day onesie for my LO that says "Eligible Bachelor," so now Mommy or Daddy stuff here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560633 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 16:12:02 +0000 sarac 560633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't put my girl in stuff with writing on it, in general. I find it tacky. Handmedown stuff like that I use as messy clothing.

One of her Christmas gifts this year was a onesie that read "who needs Santa when you've got Grandma" in the size she was currently wearing. I mentioned taking it back to DH since I wasn't going to put her in it after Christmas, and he was super offended by it and said she'd rather her wear it once than us exchange it... :/ So away to storage it went. She just bought her a sleeper in size 6-9 months (she's in size 12 months now) that I plan to smuggle out of the house to exchange....</p> <p>@katiew92081: My feelings exactly!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560432 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:59:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 560432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: really? I don't think so! My son has equal mommy/dadd apparel! His daddy stuff is "handsome like daddy", "daddy's rockstar", "daddy's new guy"... very "buddy" type stuff haha. And then he received the I love mommy, bananas over mommy, mommys little man etc.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560419 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:52:30 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 560419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennylynn: You aren't horrible.

She does the same thing! I have at least 7 of these things in various sizes. I know she loves her son, but the baby doesn't have to be her billboard for it! I bought a couple "mommy" onesies just to balance it out, but the "daddy" ones keep coming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560412 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:49:10 +0000 Smurfette 560412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate the writing all over the outfits. I got some as gifts and when I showed them to DH he even said so day care outfit. huh. That or when we don't leave the house. I would return them but I don't know where they came from. And one I know my SIL would be upset if I don't put her in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560408 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:48:29 +0000 2PeasinaPod 560408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennylynn: Hah...that's totally something I would do too :o) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560405 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:47:13 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 560405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would be annoying, especially since it's all coming from your MIL!</p> <p>The only shirt like that I've seen and like says: I'm cute. Mom's cute. Dad's lucky. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560404 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:47:10 +0000 LuLu Mom 560404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate any of that, it's so hard to find stuff around here without it! Even sleepers have something on them, just stick to the stripes and polka dots, you don't have to post it on everything &lt;end rant&gt; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560400 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:45:53 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 560400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blah. Hate those shirts. I hate them all, whether daddy- mommy- or grandparent-related. A Carter's just opened here and I went in there and it was slogan hell.</p> <p>Full disclosure: We have a shirt that says "Boy Genius." That's about all I'll tolerate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560398 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:45:29 +0000 jennylynn 560398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: I make it a point to send her over there in the ONE "mommy's cupcake" shirt she has at least once a week, and I hardly ever put her in any of the daddy stuff. I even put a few of the outfits away in storage. I'm horrible... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560394 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:41:50 +0000 2PeasinaPod 560394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahh...so annoying! Though I have to say that I feel like you can't find many clothes that say "I love Mommy" for girls or "I love Daddy" for boys. It seems as if there's a ton of stuff out there for Mommies when it comes to boys and Daddies when it comes to girls. I always try to find one of each if I'm looking to buy a gift for a friend and I always find it hard to find one for each parent when it's gender specific! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560391 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:40:46 +0000 littlek 560391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's the kinda stuff I send to daycare. Mine of course is boy related, so "Daddy's Big Guy", etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560387 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:39:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 560387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, I let them go to daycare and get dirty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560377 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:34:44 +0000 autumnlove 560377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahah, those shirts bothered me too but now I don't care! My MIL loves that stuff....LO mostly wears them to daycare and gets them grubby. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560376 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:34:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 560376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg that would be totally annoying!!! </p> <p>and yeah never cared for those slogans anyhow... we might get 1-2 when we have a girl but I have never bought anything. We probably have equal mommy/daddy stuff for our boy: "bananas for mommy", "handsome like daddy", "mommy's little dude" stuff like that... it's meh because they're usually onesies and I cover them up with dress shirts, sweaters or tees! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560373 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:33:57 +0000 MrsTiz 560373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch. I'm not a fan of any of that stuff anyway "Mommy is my BFF" "Mommies Rockstar" "Daddy's Princess" Aunties favorite" bleg. I would send her to your MIL's house in a shirt that says "Grandma JennyLynn's girl" or "Grandma JennyLynn loves me" etc and none with her name on them haha, maybe she will get the hint? Or maybe i'm just mean... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-im-not-the-only-one-that-gets-tired-of-the-daddys-girl-shirts#post-560364 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:30:09 +0000 jennylynn 560364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even though I love my MIL to death, she drives me crazy with the "daddy" clothes. "I love daddy", "daddy's princess", etc. stuff. It's seriously ALL.she.buys.her. For Christmas, she bought her at least 4-5 outfits that said something daddy related. I want to say to her "you know she has TWO parents right???" ;p I know it's a minor thing, but it's gets under my skin! </p>
