Inappropriate Behavior From an Uncle or Not?

[luvmy3]

I can appreciate the humor but no way would I buy that for my niece or even my own dd.

 

[Gorechick]

I wouldn't want my kids seeing something like that in the parks. It's funny in private but degrading in public.

 

[DOREEN1779]

I vote inappropriate.

 

[Minnesota!]

I love the shirt and wouldn't have any qualms about who bought it for whom. But, I would bet that it will not be allowed in the park.

 

[brockash]

I find it inappropriate. It may or may not be found inappropriate and trigger a reaction from a CM at the park.

I agree...and yes, I'd be pretty creeped out if my uncle gave this to me...even with the sense of humor, just odd.

No this is not about a 'good touch / bad touch' situation.

My niece, who is 25 years old and generally shares my libertine sensibilities is going to WDW in a few weeks.

Knowing I frequently visit the Disney Store, she asked me to keep an eye out for a really cool T-Shirt for her.

Instead, I went online and found her this:

My mother is appalled but I think my niece would think it's funny. I expect it crosses a few lines but ... come on, really?

This isn't something that would have you scheduling an intervention is it? Keep in mind, we have a pretty high tolerance for smut across the board in my family.

In any case, I thought it was funny.

I like the shirt, I think it's cute and funny, but I don't think it's appropriate to wear to DisneyWorld. As to the uncle thing, in my family, nobody would think twice about it...we are huge into sarcasm and joking around and yes, our humor often borders on inappropriate as well. I do think that the fact that the niece is 25 makes a difference...if it were a 14 year old niece, I would think it was kind of creepy, but for a 25 year old and if the family has that type sense of humor, sure. But in the park, no.

The OP updated, incase it was missed.

Also, keep in mind the girls almost 30 years old (27, 2 years older than my guestimate of 25). I'm getting it because we share a twisted sense of impropriety.

Though enough people poo-pooed the idea that I had to check with my sister in law. As it turns out, the niece is going to disney for a sorority or alumni function (couldnt tell which, maybe alumni sorority sisters or something). SIL loved it and is ordering for the whole group. IIt wont be going into the parks, just to a private reception.

When I was 9 my mother helped me make a halloween costume where I looked lile a traditional donkey pinata except I was broken open and had realistic entrails flying out instead of candy.

I'm just saying, every family's unique.

That...is hilarious!

 

[FlightlessDuck]

Creeper!

It's an option. Another is just the mouse ears, which I found to be even more off-putting.

^^ This is great as I read the thread I was lol at the design the whom to whom really wasn't a factor tho the "where to wear" was a thought yet it sounds as tho you stated in OP your entire family has a sense of humor and mom(sil) has found the perfect setting and I'm sure you'll get points from all the sisters for the idea ;-) Great uncle for the thought I'd say anyway

 

[aubriee]

Totally inappropriate! If you, as my daughter's uncle sent this to her I would be thinking of you as a pervert.

Same here! Very inappropriate and if an uncle sent something like this to my daughter (no matter what her age) we would be having words.

I agree with everything you said. In my family a gift like this wouldn't be strange at all and he is thinking about buying it for a grown woman and not a little girl. Huge difference there.

As funny as it is, definitely inappropriate to wear in public.

 

[honeybunches]

I would find it creepy if my uncle sent me that shirt. And then everyone else will think it's creepy when they ask "Where did you get that?!" and she proudly replies, "My uncle sent it to me!"

 

[clm10308]

I thought it was funny.

 

[old lady]

I hope they don't sell those in the park.

 

[GSUJillybean]

This lady seems to have gotten around the parks okay:

See, that makes it not inappropriate when it's a mother doing it for her grown daughter. But an uncle - yeah, your family might not think it's creepy but everyone else would.

If you really are asking for an opinion and I guess you are because you posted this. No it is not appropriate for any male to give that to any female and you took it to a whole new level of ewwww being her uncle. And I don't want my little ones seeing someone walking around wearing that. That's why we go to Disney World. It's clean. Well except for the drunks at Epcot.

 

[TwistGrl101]

Umm, no way she makes it through the park without anyone noticing

I do think it is inappropriate coming form an uncle, personally. If one of my uncles gave me this, I would be pretty weirded out.

Lol
