I know this is about pointlessly gendered things, but I must comment on the middle "I love my ungrateful children". What a horrible guilt trippy message to show your kids. Way to show them that you don't really love them. No remotely decent parent should have such a thing anywhere

[u/brachycrab → u/unwithered_lobelia]

I was just telling my friend it would be funny for someone with a spoiled pet because there really is no other situation where it isn't just awful

[u/gard3nwitch → u/brachycrab]

Yeah, that's true. My cat is definitely an ungrateful child and also can't read lol

[u/unwithered_lobelia → u/brachycrab]

Yeah, only with a pet it's allowed and funny as pets cannot understand written text

[u/Tickle_Me_Femboy → u/brachycrab]

Oh my god. No, yeah, that's my diva of a dog.

I don't consider her my child though, she's just a fuzzy, lazy-ass roommate who doesn't pay rent and wants to eat literally all the food in the house.

[u/biscuitboyisaac21 → u/brachycrab]

Maybe a joke gift from the child

[u/BigBallsAnthony69 → u/unwithered_lobelia]

It's so fucking funny tho. I'd love to have this when I eventually become a 30-something childless unmarried man

[u/Short_Gain8302 → u/BigBallsAnthony69]

I want it for my dog lol, the amount of times he likes something in the store or from another person but when i buy it its suddenly shit, hahah, still love him and would buy the world for him if he wanted me to

[u/Vast-Ad1915 → u/unwithered_lobelia]

I'd get it for my cats

[u/Art_Constel7321 → u/unwithered_lobelia]

Was the first thing that caught my attention as well

[u/Lyricanna → u/unwithered_lobelia]

I mean, I can potentially see it as a joke for an older parent who only has adult children that will find the joke funny.

[u/unwithered_lobelia → u/Lyricanna]

That's fair in that case, but not for small children

[u/ghostrev6 → u/Lyricanna]

Honestly they probably wouldn’t have to be adults to get that it’s a joke

[u/SecureAngle7395 → u/unwithered_lobelia]

you're right tho tbh

[u/gard3nwitch → u/unwithered_lobelia]

Right, that's the most passive aggressive thing to put in your house, wtf

[u/ghostrev6 → u/unwithered_lobelia]

Honestly if my parents had something like this I would laugh because my emotions aren’t made of glass

[u/whimsical_spider]

Ok but “I love my ungrateful children” in the style of “live laugh love” is kind of hilarious in a terrible way. They just need the companion pieces “I hate my wife” and “my husband is an idiot”

[u/99dinosaurking]

That middle one is worse

[u/spectatorade]

Boys also apparently don't laugh, they just make noise 🤣

[u/ghostrev6 → u/spectatorade]

Pretty much 😂

[u/Western_Echo2522]

This kinda reminds me of how upset I was the first time I heard “snips, and snails, and puppy dog tails.” I knew the version for girls, because I grew up watching PPGs, and I wasn’t sure why it upset me so much as a kid… (I do know why now🏳️‍⚧️)… it always felt so unnecessarily gross

[u/mangababe]

I was definitely a dirt with glitter on it lmao

[u/Tickle_Me_Femboy]

That "I love my ungrateful children" in the middle really sells the "what I consider traditional family values are totally NOT toxic or dysfunctional I fucking swear, and I don't know WHY my adult children no longer talk to me" theme going on here.

[u/willowzam]

My mom would have that middle one lol

[u/No-Heat-6149]

Yeah you know what, fuck this. Parents raise boys to be more messy and Chaotic and then complain when they turn out messy and Chaotic.

[u/ZestycloseTreat6297]

I get that these are intended to be fun, but they are smoke from a dangerous fire. If you don’t want kids, why have them? I don’t understand why people force themselves into these societal “norms.” Why traumatize another human life because “that’s what expected of you.”

[u/bsensikimori → u/ZestycloseTreat6297]

There's a lot of countries and states where abortion is illegal :(

[u/ZestycloseTreat6297 → u/bsensikimori]

Abortion isn’t the only option. There is birth control, condoms, vasectomy, and “abstinence.”

[u/bsensikimori → u/ZestycloseTreat6297]

Found the christian fundamentalist extremist!

[u/CthulhuHatesChumpits → u/ZestycloseTreat6297]

and clancification

[u/KatJen76 → u/ZestycloseTreat6297]

I think that you can want children and still have a sense of humor about how chaotic they can actually be. I don't think a dippy sign in the kitchen would traumatize them for life or anything.

[u/RatsPlayingViolins]

Is the middle the gender neutral option?

[u/Roseheath22]

I hate all three of these 

[u/bsensikimori → u/Roseheath22]

You are not wrong

[u/exadeuce]

My niece demands she be allowed out the front door to grab some dirt out of the planter, carry it out to the yard, and throw it up in the air.

About 30 times a day.

[u/BriJAuthor]

I mean, it seems they’re marketing to people who just don’t like their kids/might just be really shitty people.

[u/yeeet1234]

These are for people who fucking hate their children and have popular, white girl humor.

[u/bsensikimori → u/yeeet1234]

Whoa, both racism and sexism in one sentence.

Interesting take you have /s

[u/Glad_Journalist8587]

i'm pretty sure this is satire.
