Daddy-Proof & Not Hilarious
Around The Internets

Daddy-Proof Onesie

Dads love a good laugh. But something that’s getting tiresome is the constant joke that they don’t know how to dress and change babies.

This onesie was brought to the attention of Reddit‘s “Daddit” section by Hudson22, who simply titled his post “I hate this.”

We do too. We checked out the manufacturer, Sara Kety, which sells all sorts of onesies – I mean, all sorts except for ones bad-mouthing moms. To be fair, they also sell one that says “My daddy may not wear a cape but he’s my hero” and also includes the phrases “burp me,” “feed me,” and “change me” – so that’s cool.

We just wish the jokes about dads not knowing what to do would stop – because no one makes those kinds of jokes about moms.

BTW, the comments on the Reddit thread were really interesting, and fell into three basic boxes:

1) “I hate this and it has to stop

2) “I don’t like it, but I’m a good father so who cares

3) “Stop whining and focus on real fatherhood issues

We actually ride the fence between all three, for the record.

    This reminds me of the very condescending “You’re doing great, daddy!” that I got from a stranger in a public baby-changing centre the other day. I told her something like “yeah, two years of daily practise has really helped a lot”

    Anyways, also offensive is charging $24 for a novelty onesie. We got a few of those as shower gifts, and all they did was make me feel bad that our giant baby breezed right past them into the next size up. Straight into the “too small” bin with the tag still on, that’s where all those 0-3 months items went!

      Totally agree. It reminds me of something we talked about on Episode ??? about a dude with a kid in a super market receiving a compliment from a woman. Something to the effect of, “Oh that’s so sweet you’re spending time with your child.” IT’S CALLED BEING A PARENT. F*CK.

    On the one hand, yes, it’s offensive and dumb and annoying. On the other hand, I wonder if we’re not giving a tiny company with 56 Facebook likes too much undeserved publicity…

      But on the bright side, none of the publicity they get from us will result in sales, I’m hoping!
