hip kids?

Re: hip kids?

I was planning on a Darwin Fish for Jacob & I to wear to Kansas School Board meetings.

I love it. I double dare you!

They've reversed their decision, so for the time being the teaching of "creationism" is on hold. But if they flip again, I'm ordering the shirts.

I agree w/Julia's comments about the "spoiled" -type shirts. I keep walking by the racks of t-shirts for the boys that just have attitude on them. Hating school, 'what are you looking at?' kind of stuff. I'm not spending my money to give them any help in the attitude department.

Re: hip kids?

I think letting babies where them is one thing, but letting kids wear them that know what they mean (the ones with the attitude) is ridiculous. People wonder where these kids get it. Duh!

Re: hip kids?

The ones that really bug me are the shirts that say "Spoiled" or some variation on them. That's just asking for trouble.

Re: hip kids?

I agree. I, also, hate seeing it on their butts. I've seen sweat pants/track pants with attitude words on the butts.

Re: hip kids?

I guess this is not the place to admit that DS has shirts that say "Chicks Dig Me" and "Ladies Man". DH and I think they're hilarious.

The best term I've heard for the baby-hooker phenomenon is "prosti-tots". Cracks me up every time!

It's okay! We do too. I have more of a problem with mom's buying a t-shirt that says "You know you want me." for a 10 or 11 year old.

Re: hip kids?

I think there is a line. Love "prosti-tots" BTW. Hilarious. I dress my children like small adults, and my DD wears bikinis to the pool, but that's because it is more comfortable for her because she has a long torso. I may revise the bikini thing when she's a bit older, but for now at 3, I enjoy looking at her protruding belly. So cute. I don't think whore-chic is charming though on a 8-year-old girl. I think there is a difference in dressing like an adult and dressing like a whore. I certainly don't dress like a whore.

I hate ruffles, lace, ducks, lambs ("Not lambs, lame!"). I don't like character clothes, unless on pajamas. I don't mind sayings, but it really depends on what it is. I think "Chicks dig me" is hilarious and great for a toddler. For a 12-year-old? Not so much. I hate the ones that say "brat" or "spoiled" or something about derogatory about intelligence, school, or anything like that. I like classic things that look nice. Jeans and polo shirts for my son, skorts and blouses for my daughter, etc.

Re: hip kids?

As poor as we were I was happy my kids were clothed. For the most part I am like to each their own. Except when it comes to the attitude t-shirts. I am sure your kids' teacher is really going to educate them well, when your son comes to school in a shirt that says "Hello My Name is Trouble."
Your kids are not going to get fair shake wearing stuff like that.

Re: hip kids?

"Huh? I didn't hear you. I was too busy being AWESOME."
"I'm cute. I get it. Now put me down."
"I only cry when ugly people hold me."
"That's how I roll."
"My other onesie is Prada."


LOVE it!

Now... "All Daddy wanted was a blow job."

I have a problem with that one...

Re: hip kids?

I think it's got to be an age thing- or a parent vs. non-parent thing because I would never put my child in one of those shirts. EVER. and I'm the least conservative person on this site.

and as the son of an active duty military officer, there will never be any political statements worn by Nikolai. (or any of us for that matter. My cousin sent us a car freshener w/ GWB on it that says WTF? and as tempting as it was to hang it, we didn't.)

He does own a San Antonio Spurs shirt an a Pittsburgh Penguins shirt (for Sid the Kid) but that's about it for logos.

Re: hip kids?

Er...yeah...I decked my kids out in Kentucky basketball jersey and cheerleading uniforms during tournament time a couple of years ago.

I know that I've stated this before but I love DS's previous school handbook advice about not dressing kids in logos or characters or namebrands for school. I still try to do this with my kids.

oh dear. the kids at Jacob's school would be NAKED. The way college sports is in this next of the woods just wouldn't go with that flow ...

Re: hip kids?

Baby M already has KU socks, a KU hat, a KU pink onesie, a KU t-shirt and a blue KU fleece jumpsuit - she will be properly outfitted in basketball season!

Re: hip kids?

The prosti-tots is cracking me up.

I've seen a few cute ones recently -- "I eat at Mom's" and "AB/CD" (in AC/DC logo).

But "My Talent is Being Cute"? No way.

Re: hip kids?

I can understand why sports logo shirts are a problem. My daughter wore a Washington Redskins shirt to school and the kids kept telling her that they were the "Deadskins". But I say what does kill you will make you strong. She needs to learn to be an individual no matter what anyone thinks. On another note, I though of this thread when I went to Target and saw a geisha girl costume for little girls. I just kind of chock this up to American ignorance though. Maybe they don't know that geisha girls are Japanese prostitutes.
