Bad Taste Vent

[lesliepear]

My husband sent through some photos of a coworker's daughter. She was wearing a shirt that said "Daddy drinks because I cry". What kind of message is that? (I know these were people who liked to go out and drink before their daughter was born).

Makes the shirts I have for Alan "Little Body Big Attitude" and "I may be small but I'm the boss" tame.

My dad and ex had drinking problems so I'm a little more sensitive about this kind of stuff -- but if I knew these people I'd have a little chat about that shirt.

I grew up with an abusive alcoholic stepfather, I don't have a problem with it. I do agree though that some people who have certain family issues would find offense at it.
It's up to each person to decide how they want to dress, and each parent to decide how they want to dress their child. You have every right to dissagree with them, but it doesn't make them wrong.

I do disagree and won't have Alan wear that shirt. Nor would I be likely to buy other shirts from that company. But if someone else wants to, that's fine.

I just hope that people who chose this shirt aren't in denial about any alcohol issues they have.
