You know it's mainly women so proud that they can actually procreate. Gag me with a spoon.

In my home country there's a movement to "boycott" the happy family sticker movement. They sell prostitute moms pimp dads addict kids and booze bottles to put on the hands. The pets are dirty and handicapped.

It's a success!

PP, are you living in Rockville with 11 kids on a teacher's salary?

If you don't like them, don't put them on your car. Who cares what's on someone else's car?

Nah, hate. Because I'm with the OP, why on earth would people put these on their car? And we care (clearly, because there are other threads about "my child is an honor student" bumper stickers) because we see these cars all the time. And I don't get it, because I have no desire to broadcast my family make-up to anyone who might happen to be driving behind me or parking next to me in a parking lot.

The Star Wars figures imply that we're on the Republican side of things which balances out the "I'm a woman, I have a choice" bumper sticker.

Wait, what?

True story.

But then, I was at a gas station in Front Royal and I saw a 20ish guy looking at my back window with unmistakable disgust. Now I think I might remove the stickers because I don't want my SUV keyed by some redneck who hates gay men.

I LOVE this idea!! That is great!!

HA! I was going to do the same thing! They really drive me crazy. And I mean really. I kind of want to see a "family" where the parents are divorced or the hamster died or something...and they are scratched off the back window.

My DH likes to joke that they're there to let burglars know how many people to watch out for when they're robbing a house.

Do they come with the SUV? Because they are ALWAYS on an SUV.

Whenever I see these, I always have a WTF moment. I would never have these stickers. I have zero desire to let everyone driving around me know that I have a husband, 2.5 kids, a dog, 2 cats, and a goldfish, or whatever. But clearly there is a following, since I can't drive more than half a mile without seeing them on 5 or more cars. So if you have these stickers...please explain what the appeal is. I'm not trying to be (too) snarky, I honestly want to know why you have them on there. I'm sure there are many things I do that you would find ridiculous, but these just seem without purpose. Anyone?
