Is this inappropriate?

Zullily has a bunch of "dad" shirts for Fathers Day. Is it completely inappropriate to get a shirt for DS to wear that says "best freaken' dad ever" and I want to get my other DS one that says "daddy is my homeboy". I could just get them both the "daddy is my homeboy" shirt.

Re: Is this inappropriate?

I just wouldn't want people to find it offensive, because its the tame version of f-ing.

I don't think it's offensive, but I feel like the "best freakin' dad ever" shirt is meant to be worn by DH, not DS?

I'm not a fan of the "freakin" because it's not a word I'd want my DC using.

Re: Is this inappropriate?

DH and I both have bad potty mouths - but I personally wouldn't that on my son.

I'd probably laugh if I saw someone else's kid in it - but it's not something I'd want him to say, so I'd feel like a hypocrite putting the shirt on him - KWIM?

I agree--unless it starts with "I have the..." it makes more sense for a Dad to wear.

Freaking is not a bad word in my house at all.. Geez.. what's next? Its bad enough my kid says I can't say heck, hell or damn as they are all bad words. Somehow no one has told her the F-bomb and Sh!t or B!atch are bad ... Yet LOL

I would think Fudgicle (sp) would be more obvious than freaking. Even Fracking is more obvious. And we use fracking a lot in our house since we are Battlestar Gallatica fans. Ah frack it!

What's next, can't say Jeez because it sounds too close to Jesus? can't say darn as its too close to damn? Can't say oh snap, because it sounds like oh crap?

I think there's a finite list of curse words
Fbomb
Sh!t
B!atch

Then there's the no no words like
N word
Stupid
Faggot
Retarded
(more im sure but that's the ones I can think of.. so far I've only had to come down on her a few times for the 'stupid' word)

JMHO

which is why we don't like the "Im with Stupid" shirts.. but that's just us.

I don't think it's inappropriate. I just don't think it makes sense b/c it doesn't say "I have the" or it's not a shirt for your DH to wear.

Re: Is this inappropriate?

I don't think so. Wouldn't think anything of it. Most likely would only put DS in something like that for a couple of funny pics. Maybe to use when I have to do laundry, a rainy day at home or outside by the pool.
Not something I'd take him out in though, but I'm not a fan of sayings on shirts anyway.

YOU might not think it's bad but "what's next" is f*cking and that is why WE don't let our kids say freaken.

JMHO of course.

To the OP, no, I would not buy that shirt for my DS. I'm not really a fan of the homeboy shirt either but I totally get that it's personal preference.

Re: Is this inappropriate?

I dont like it for a kid to wear.


Im not saying you would send him to school with it but in my school it wouldnt be allowed and parents would prob be called to send in a new shirt so i use that as a guide.

I use that term a lot Chat Icon . Don't want my kids using it though.

I doubt though, even if you ordered it right now, it would be here on-time though. Zulily sucks with delivery.

I did wind up ordering it last night, only because it said 1-2 day shipping. Normally their stuff says like 12-14 days.
