It kind of reminds me of that other saying...If momma aint happy nobody is" or something along like line.  I know people say it in jest to be funny so I don't really get offended but I would NEVER  wear it proudly on my chest.  For those that like it....you realize if they come out for one with "daddy" (or husband) you have to grin and bear it! What's good for the goose is good for the gander!!!


I don't like it if it refers to wives or women in general. I don't base my happiness on what my husband says or does & we'll be married 48 yrs. in August. If Daddy ain't happy....tough. Not my fault. 


If Daddy ain't happy...tough not my fault.LOLThat shirt I would wear.


Maybe we can sell those to the Peace, Love Company?

What I don't get, is the price for these shirts.

 

 

There is nothing proprietary about it.

 

 

One can take any t-shirt, and get any saying silk-screened on to it.

Re: Why is this saying offensive?

To some it might be offensive - to me - it is such an old fashioned corny saying which might have been cute 20 yrs ago when it was new - but now it just makes women look bitchy and men look stupid

Who wears these shirt? Just curious. I wouldn't....It's almost like advertisng that I'm a snot if I don't get what I want...which I don't.

 

And it's really weird for a man to wear it, kind of sissy

Re: Why is this saying offensive?

The problem is - you can't make a person happy 24/7 - 365 days a week.  And a woman's happiness - or a man's - should never depend on the other person to make you happy. 

 

People will let you down.  That's a fact.   No matter how hard you try, you will never please everyone all the time.

 

So there is my two cents Smiley Very Happy

That saying characterizes women as nagging B's and men need to walk on eggshells around the wife or life will be hel#!  Not the way I want to be protrayed!!!  The same as when men just say yes dear all the time so as not to let the wife know how obnoxiously Btchy she is and keep their lives quieter!

Re: Why is this saying offensive?

I see that a lot of people say this for laughs but there is an edge to it....that's why I wouldn't wear it.  I think it is not complimentary to women nor would a similar saying about a man on a man's tee shirt  be complimentary to a man. I thought maybe some misunderstood what I said so I hope I cleared that up.  I would not wear one nor would I want my husband to wear one....mostly because it isn't true!
