Yesterday my partner (50m) and I (45f) took our daughter (7f) to the state fair. While waiting on line for a ride I noticed a vendor selling shirts. I remarked to my partner that the one shirt that said “I <3 hot moms” on the back and “I love MILFS” on the front in smaller letters was offered in kids sizes and i found that weird because it’s not appropriate at all for a kid to wear. He immediately started laughing and said that was great and that if he had seen that when the boys were like 8 (he has step kids from a prior relationship) he totally would have gotten them one. I asked if he was kidding and really found that appropriate for a small kid to be wearing and he replied yes, still laughing about it. I then mentioned they had a “I love hot dads” in the same sizes and would that be great on Daughter? He got quiet and replied “yes”. But went back to how funny it would be for a little boy and laughed about it for a few more minutes and even took a picture of it.

Later when we were getting ready to leave I said I had to use the bathrooms but went and actually bought one of the "I love Hot Dads/I love DILFS in our daughter’s size. PLEASE NOTE: I HAD NO INTENTION OF OUR DAUGHTER WEARING THIS SHIRT OR EVEN TELLING HER ABOUT IT. I WAS TRYING TO PROVE A POINT.

When we met back up, waited till daughter was distracted and i tossed the shirt over and said “got that shirt you liked for Daughter” and all of sudden he no longer found that shirt funny AT ALL and he immediately found the closest trash can and threw it away (which is fine, that’s where it was going anyway).

He was super grumpy on the way home and after Daughter went to bed said i was wrong to buy it because it’s not cute for girls. I flat out told him he could either admit he was wrong about the shirt not being cute for kids or i was ordering it off Amazon for Daughter and sending her to school in it. He finally relented that the shirt wasn’t cute for kids but said there was no reason for me to prove my point the way i did and waste money.
