Stepstool moms update - omg

[angelaa73]

no. your kids can't touch this
hammer time!

Seriously, you have to put these on FB. They are heinous. I don't even understand how someone could have such terrible taste. Wait! My grandma does. Are your friends 78 year old women who are fond of Brillo pad perms, odd shades of green, and crafting impaired?

Also, @smace is killing it in this thread.

you HAVE to add us on FB. if nothing else, we must school some bitches. hard.

PM me, and I'll work on my nerve.  I'm still drinking. 
Here's what I'm thinking: I could get the girls to pose with them.  That would seem innocuous, right???

If you do this, the girls will smile. It'll send the subliminal message that they were good presents. Also, it'll lead the comments to be more "awww arent they sweet (for smiling over such crappy presents?!?!) and less 'wow, what IS that??'


Unless you plan on making them cry- then totally make them hold a blanket for a photo op.

This was planned. No way people think those are good.

That is a very un"friendly gift!! I certainly would be looking at a new set of friends. Doesn't look like much thought went into it that is for sure. So sad for you.

[iamgrace]

The makeup stains totally up the wtf-ness of this whole thing. I didn't think that was possible.

I will tell you that this trend is kinda popular among my college students. We did airbrushed flip-flops as a giveaway a few weeks ago and people went FUCKING NUTS over them.

We did airbrushed hats last fall and again, NUTS.

I think it's "trendy" for tweens and some teens (and apparently sorority women). Doesn't make it better, but ya know...

Maybe these can be saved for car-trip blankets?

YES! When they are on the highway, she can roll the windows down and let the girls dangle them out the window until they let go.

LOL!

I was just going to say, road trips are stressful enough. I wouldn't want to look at that debacle for hours at a time.

I was thinking that they would be good b/c they can catch all the stains, car-sickness puke, etc. And then get "accidentally" left at the hotel or whatnot.

I am vote 293 for post it on FB with the girls holding it and let your ML FB posse handle it for you and I'd like to watch.

Edited because I can't brain today

You have to remain friends with these people so you can give each of their children airbrushed trucker hats for their next birthdays!

You guys, my feelings are hurt. 3 people don't all legitimately think this is a nice gift.

I didn't see the original post or read past page 1, , but are you really upset at some friends because they gave you a tacky gift? We all get given ugly gifts for our kids from time to time. One suggested a monogrammed blanket. They others said "great!" without seeing it.

(Or, is this their secret revenge for throwing a toddler party with an open candy buffet? Just kidding ;-)

Edit: I see SMACE had the same idea.

I don't know if this has been covered, but did you sleep with one of their husbands? Or are your friends teen moms?

Even if the blankets were cute, what 3 year old wants a fucking blanket anyway?!?

3 year olds want something they can play with. What a shitty idea for a birthday present.

I'd be so embarrassed if I was one of the moms that didn't know what the gift was (assuming only 1 mom got them).

My kid loves blankets. She's an odd duck though

[adhdfashion]

It's shitty airbrushing to top it off.
At least one of them hates your guts.

This is clearly the oldest child in me speaking, but I'm a little bummed for Maya that she didn't get as many hearts.
