Do you buy your charge clothing as a gift?

[Anonymous]

I buy my charges "I heart NY" tshirts when I visit the city. I have bought them cute shirts featuring superheroes that they like too. I would never buy anything like pants, shoes or socks for them. Their parents can do that.

Yep, I don't let my kids wear anything with characters or logos.

Why? Even if your kids like them and the shows/brands they represent aren't offensive/problematic?

Well (get ready to hate me) the kids don't get any screen time so don't watch any tv shows. What is not offensive to me may be offensive to you, and vice versa. The Disney marketing machine actually DOES offend me. Shirts that say "I'm a Princess" offend me. Being a walking advertisement for a brand offends me.

What about something like OP' "The Beatles" t-shirt? Classic logo for a band long, long gone.

I enjoy buying my charges all manner of attire- shoes, shirts, pants, dresses, hair accessories, etc. It's not frequent purchases (maybe 5ish items a year), or a load of stuff at once, just the occasional thing here and there when we pass by a store with a sale, or I'm already buying clothing for other kids and think the girls would like matching t-shirts or something. The parents are always happy with these items, and the kids enjoy and wear them often enough.

That wouldn't offend me; and her idea behind it is kind of cute. I just wouldn't have my kids wear that because I have zero deep feelings for any Beatles songs. If they picked an artist I or DH really loved instead of them, I'd let the kid wear the shirt.
