My partner and I have always felt uneasy about baby clothes that say things like “ladies man” or “chick magnet,” or when people call our baby's daycare friends their “girlfriend.” To us, it sets expectations and messages we simply don’t want to introduce this early—or honestly, at all.The challenge? Our baby's grandparents often buy clothes with those sayings and make these kinds of jokes, even though they mean well. We’re struggling with how to explain our discomfort without making them feel attacked or defensive.It’s not just an “older generation” thing—we know that—but communicating our boundaries gently yet firmly has proven tough, especially with family members who get emotional easily.For those who feel the same way, how did you bring it up with your families? I’d love to hear how you handled it! #GentleParenting #RespectfulBoundaries #ParentingJourney #ConsciousParenting #FamilyCommunication #Parenting
