Yeah you’re overreacting. Mine is 13 and hasn’t seen her sperm donor at all since she was a month old. I’d love for him to have been in her life long enough to buy her a shirt of any kind.

First off, yall are rude af. She asked a legitimate question in her mind. There is no reason to be so rude and say such ugly things.
Thought this was a group to support moms. Guess i was wrong. I would hate for yall to ask a question you truly were concerned over and have people be this rude to yall.

You absolutely should feel guilty for feeling any sort of way because she’s wearing a shirt that says i love dad…just because you don’t love him don’t mean his daughter can’t…if this is such a problem…he’s probably lucky to be separated

I’m not being mean, but, now you are no longer together he doesn’t need to or have to consider your feelings. Please bear in mind the impression you are setting for your child. Regardless of whether she can read or not, what is so wrong in her wearing a T-shirt saying she loves her daddy? Would he mind if you did the same? She is allowed to love both parents whether they are together or not. I think you are being a little over sensitive to this.

And besides if you really wanted all you had to do was leave a note saying that she can keep some clothes there and that shirt being one of them

This isn’t a real question right? Lol hell, I BUY shirts that say “dad’s twin” or “I love my daddy” or “I’m cuter than dad”.
This has got to be a joke! I also bought a shirt (pic below-not my kid, just the outfit I ordered) and sent him to dad’s in it and was complimented because he loves tupac. It’s BOTH our kid. Our baby is allowed to love BOTH. It’s probably not any " hit" on you at alllllll.

If she came home in a “I love Mom” shirt how would you feel? Kids shirts usually say something about a parent, a relative, an animal, etc. Marketing sells…there are so many other things in the world to worry about. Is she fed, loved, clean, etc? If so, move on. More than likely, the shirt was purchased by someone else and thrown on to make sure the child was clean when they were brought home, nothing more. :upside_down_face:

He’s ‘dad’, even if he’s a shit one, and will buy clothes that say so. Just take it off of her when she comes home and stash it away. Throw it away if you must or just put it on her when she goes to dads. Doesn’t matter in the long run, it’s just a shirt. She’ll learn once she’s older whether he’s worth loving or not.

Definitely over dramatic

Don’t let it get to you for the child’s sake.

I think it’s a mom thing. It’s natural to feel a pang of something when we see our kids talk about the other parent, especially if there’s been a break up/separation. I’m sure the dad felt pride by her wearing it.

Right off hands down asking for help! So here’s some extra ideas:

  1. Make shirts with your kiddo! Get the tie dyes, or just paints- and do up a few!! Smiley faces, hand prints, hearts, foot prints (dog prints too!) Leaves…you name it. Make it an adventure and memory with your child!

  2. Change the mindset~ (Like; Lookit that, he’s purchasing clothing for the child!)

  3. Get creative. When you see shirts that point out any loved ones…like aunts, grandmas, gramps, uncles, etc and splurge! That way ALL loved ones are covered :smile: Look at it as inspiration! For all those in your child’s life who IS loving to them~

  4. And me personally…though I may get or create different shirts that support loved ones (one way or another, like Strong Like Grampa :smile:) I personally NEVER send a child to the other home wearing it…but only due to respect, and who I am as a parent.

I don’t know the whole situation. My kids father did a lot this but it was not for the kids, it was directed at me–because he was unable to bond with the kids due to his unhealthy and inappropriate behaviors, and he did it due to his own problems. Should that be the case, look at yourself and what kind of Mom you want to be~
Even if it is for underlining reasons that have nothing to genuinely do with the child, okay!. But hey, YOU can role model looking at the positives of every gesture (and motive) and you learn not to mind…and instead, make the best of it!!! Dont get upset, get insprired and creative! Always always, think kiddo first- if you feel you want attire for you or other loved ones, no worries! You got this~

Is this a joke? Your feelings are irrelevant. You need to take your daughters feelings into consideration. You can’t be salty because your relationship went sour- your daughter has nothing to do with that. I don’t know your history, but I believe you need to seek some therapy or do some shadow work to work through your issues. She’s not just your child- she’s his too. Once your child gets older and sees that you get so upset over something as little as a shirt, she’s going to resent you and your relationship with her will just go downhill. Loosen up, not everything is he does is retaliation to you. It’s just a shirt. It’s “moms” like you who give a lot of us “baby mamas” a bad name. Get a grip.

This isn’t pie. She loves her dad takes nothing away from you. So there is nothing to be upset about.

You wanting him To be a more present “better parent” is YOUR baggage that you are welcome to have in private between the two of you. How your daughter perceives him or expresses her love(or disapproval) of him is not to be dictated by you on her behalf. And that’s what this is. She shouldn’t love her dad because what? He’s not as good of a dad as YOU think he should be? She shouldn’t love her dad because she loves you less?

Step away and check yourself.

Over reacting big time. He probably saw the top liked it and got it for her without even thinking it would affect you plus like you said she does love her dad so the statement is right. im not sure how a t-shirt can upset you tbh.

My daughter has a shirt that read… dont make me act like my dad!!!:rofl: me and her dad is not together anymore but this kid loves that shirt and yes her dad got it for her and one for his daughter from first wife. Oh and when I say her dad it’s her step dad but that man was more of a dad to her then the sperm donor was … take a step back take a deep breath and just laugh at yourself cause that is a little bit over reacting…p.s. I wouldn’t take the shirt away or anything like that or take away anything he may get her but maybe talk to him and see if the shirt can stay at his house if it really bothers you that much…but yea kinda selfish and over reacting

I would encourage any relationship she can have with her dad . It’s a shirt . She loves both of you. Let her wear it when she’s with you, when she’s with him. If you hold Animosity she will pick up on that. Buy a shirt that says mommas girl, because both shirts ring true .

Please stop. You’re going to make her choose one day & the resentment will really trigger you.
Who cares about a shirt that EVERY child has worn?

Ok coming from a mom who is not with her oldest 2 kids dad (he’s a druggy and doesn’t see his kids but a few times a year) i want my kids to love their dad and their step-up dad. Just because i cant stand him and things didn’t work out between us doesn’t mean i want my kids to love him any less. It’s important that your child(ren) see you being considerate of the other parent even if you are not together no matter the situation because it is not the childs fault they were a product of the 2 of you and they love you both equally. I enjoy bejng petty like the next person but when it comes to my children and them loving their other parent that is not something you need to be petty about. Remember children didn’t ask to be here! :wink::smiling_face:

You know what the judge told me one time when I was in my early 20’s and dealing with something similar? “You picked him, ma’am. You slept with him and you married him. He wasn’t so bad then, was he?” And I learned a very valuable lesson then and I’m glad I was able to learn from it at that young age and before the kids got old enough to realize how petty I was being. They’re now 28 and 26 and well adjusted.

Long story short…bleach the t-shirt lol

Him getting his daughter a shirt that says “I love dad” more than likely has nothing to do with you and everything to do with his daughter. Don’t let it get under your skin. Your relationship with her dad may not be good but it doesn’t have to be the same for their father/daughter relationship. He very well may be just trying to be a good dad. Just let her wear the shirt and let it go. There are more important things to be offended by.
