KU and TTC ladies

Would you put your precious little bundle of joy in one of these?  Not gonna lie, they sell like hotcakes in our eBay store.  But for as many that sell, we get nasty msgs from buyers wanting our listings removed.  Warning: May not be SFW

Re: KU and TTC ladies

  • We are not KU or TTC currently, but I figured I'd butt right in anyway. :) I like the boobies one, mostley b/c of the BFing connotation- it makes me giggle... but, I always have thought the other ones were in poor taste. It's like saying your baby wasn't wanted or loved IMO.

  • Hmm yeah...I have an issue with my kid wearing anything that says 'blowjob' on it, it seems really trashy.  And I do agree with tbears, I think the 2nd and 3rd send the message that the kid wasn't wanted, which is kinda sad, even if that's not the intent.  I know not everyone will over-think it like that, but I do.  I'm ambivalent about the first one - I think it's kinda funny, but again, I would worry that other people would be upset if, say, their 4 year-old saw the word 'boobies'.

    I don't think there's any reason you should stop selling them though.  I'm all about people having options and choices, so if people are buying them, you might as well make money.

  • They make me laugh.  I wouldn't put my kid in one and I would only buy one as a gag gift for a close friend that could take it-of course along with another nice gift.

    Huh, I actually never thought about it like that.  Makes total sense.  I always liked them for the shock value of it.

     As for it seeming trashy, I feel that the people who do buy them are maybe the type of people where it was an accident/not planned and maybe they're trying to make light of the situation.  Gross generalization and assumption on my part, for sure.  But there you go.

  • The "I <3 Boobies" one could grow on me, especially because I have a rather large chest haha

    I personally would not buy the other two for my child, but more power to you for making a few bucks if people want to buy them!

    I just don't get why you'd want to advertise this fact.  I guess I figure that in this day & age, bc is cheap & accessible enough, that the only two reasons you have for getting KU 'by accident' barring bc failure are laziness and ignorance.  Of course, maybe I fit into that group too since I got KU a couple months ahead of schedule because I can't count, but that's another story.  I'd like to add, though, that I'd put my kid in the I <3 boobies shirt...just cuz I have enough boobage that I can get away with making fun of them.

  • I hate to be uptight, but I would never put my kid in one of these. The backrub one is clever, I could deal with the boobies one, but absolutely hell no to the blowjobs one - it's crossing a line IMO.

  • Yeah, I wouldn't put these on my kid.  I might get the Boobie one for DH if they made it in a shirt in his size.

  • I would never buy one for my kid, but I think they're funny.  I would laugh before I would think someone put their kid in the shirt b/c they didn't love them.

    I also think this may be why they sell so well.  Different senses of humor I guess.  To each their own.

  • To clarify: I don't think all the shirts are trashy, but I DO think that having your kid wearing something with a vulgar word on it is trashy.  I don't know why 'blowjob' crosses the line and 'boobies' doesn't, but for some reason that's how I feel. I have also seen kids wearing shirts with the f word, 'titties', and 'd!ck' on them, and all those cross the line too for me. 

    I would buy the shirts as a gag gift, for sure.  I wouldn't judge parents for putting their kids in either of the non-blowjob shirts, I just wouldn't put MY kid in them for the aforementioned reasons (worrying about other people being offended).

  • I wouldn't have a baby wear these. BIL's ex-wife had one of these made for her by a friend for her "accidental" pregnancy (she was KU by someone other than BIL when they were separated) and I personally think it's trashy, like the baby was unwanted.

  • Those are NMS, although one that says 'my daddy is a motherf'er' makes me giggle.  But WTF at the people sending you messages wanting the listings removed?  Get a freaking hobby.

    Tee hee, we may have to start making this one :)  And yeah, if you don't like our listing, then don't buy it or from us.  No sweat off our backs!

    Seriously.  I can't believe that people are getting their panties in a wad over this (ok, yes I can, people are ridiculous).  It's not that hard - just don't buy it.

  • im not gonna lie, i really like the boobie one.  the other two seem trashy.  i agree with everything everyone said about the logic for those two.  but the boobies one just makes it look like the baby likes to breastfeed, which it does!
  • I really want to get the boobies one for my nephew since he is a cow and eats all the time and he's breastfeed so it makes perfect sense. The other two are funny and I'd do it for a gag gift or whatever but I really heart the boobies one.

  • To me the first one is funny, 2nd one is tolerable, and the 3rd one is trash.
