Being invited to a baby shower is always exciting. Of course, the expectation of a new baby being on the way is enough, but there's also the thrill of going shopping for the most adorable baby toys and clothes to gift your expecting family member or friend.

But what happens when a gift idea takes a bad turn? Well, Reddit user u/vivachillewin shared her experience in the AITA (Am I The A**hole?) subreddit.

The OP explained that during her baby shower, one of her family friends thought it would be funny to gift her some baby onesies with offensive writing on them. Each onesie had a different slogan on it, and all were quite sexual.

For example, one of the onesies said, "All daddy wanted was a blow job," on it. And another said, "To-do list: Eat, poop, suck some titties."

The OP said she felt humiliated when she opened the gift. She felt it was very inappropriate for a baby shower, and she didn't see the funny side to it at all.

Not only that, but before the OP could read what the onesies said, she had already unfolded one of them and shown her guests. The Redditor said that some of her guests laughed, and others were shocked.

So, when the party was over, the OP asked the person who gave her the onesies if she could have the receipt so that she could return them. She told her friend there was no way she would be putting those outfits on her baby.

But the OP's friend was offended and felt that she was being ungrateful. Keep scrolling to see how people reacted.

The person was offended and felt the OP was being ungrateful.

Here's how people reacted.

"Trashy AF."

"I cannot believe someone thought those were appropriate gifts."

"Way to sexualize an infant."

NTA.

"Definitely not a joke most people would be okay with."

"Stop inviting them."

Funny, but inappropriate.

"It's a baby shower."

"Gross."

"Vulgar."

"Uncomfortable."

What did they expect?

"Sexualizing an infant is disgusting."

What's your take on this situation? Do you think the OP overreacted and should learn to take a joke, or is it understandable that she would be upset about the gift?

Either way, it certainly seems inappropriate to incorporate sexual innuendos into such an occasion. After all, it was a baby shower, not a bachelorette party.
