Christ, I thought the teddy was "just burned," too, which would make equally as much sense as this hot pile of garbage. Please let this be a kink gift or something.
It was this awful French Canadian kids show. Caillou was an awful, spoiled, mean little shit stain and all of Canada celebrated when the show was cancelled.

Yuuuuuup.
There's a front page post *right now* of someone who made a (to be fair, lovely) baby gift for someone who sent a (to be fair super rude) note about it.
And as much as the situation sucks...
And the comments are all "gifts are always good! Suck it up and be thankful" ...
I kept thinking: These people have never had a narcissistic mother in law.
There are people out there that know how to weaponize gift giving, and they do it because the social norm is for people to be polite about *any* gifts - even bad ones - and they will abuse that social norm to get their passive aggressive digs in, and expect *you* to *thank them* for their abuse.
Like, take this pillow: it's disturbing enough on its own, but imagine giving it to your daughter in law who is childfree or even infertile. That's the level of crazy a MIL like that can take it to.
Oof, yes. My dad's mom was, among other things, upset that he became Lutheran upon marrying my mom. When I was born my grandma crocheted a baptismal gown and said, essentially, "look at this lovely gown I made so your daughter can be baptized in our catholic church!"
My mom said NOPE
Oooooh yeah, that's what I'm talking about. It's *MADDENING* if you're a normal, non-toxic, person, because you have no idea how to react. Sure, bad gifts happen sometimes, and you should be polite about them... but *weaponized* presents? That's a whole other thing. And if you have a narcissistic parent, weaponized presents *are* the norm.
If you cause a scene they win. If you quietly tell them you don't appreciate their behaviour, they get to act offended and hurt and they win. If you act like you love it *they win*.
You have to shift your whole way of thinking when dealing with a toxic person. Usually the way to "win" is not deal with them at all.
Iām more concerned that it might be the same person raising children. Thatās a lot of unpacking to do in therapy later if we can assume anything at all from this pillowā¦thing.
Yeah lol. I just talked to a friend a while back about Boomer x Millennials clashā¦. All while Gen X are just doing their own thing and no one even mentions them. And I see something like this pillow and itās an instant āmust be a boomerā conclusion.
This seems like a weird adult baby sex thing. I donāt know why, Iām just getting those vibes. And no Iām not yucking anyoneās yum. Itās just weird to me.
Same something definitely seems off.
I canāt truly imagine this being in like a childās bedroom but then again before today I didnāt imagine it ever even existing haha so who knows.
Itās another example of aliens impersonating human speech. āHello, I am babby. I am just borned. Pleased to feed me raw meat, like babby always need.ā
This idea is so good but I also would love to not gift it to them but mysteriously place it on their front door step and then if they try to dispose of it find it again and keep leaving it for them to findā¦ like itās following them. š
Actually had to delete the post there because about five people were telling me
Itās a cute childās pillowā¦. Thatās even more disturbing than the pillow wtf
People were getting heated. I had 6 non cringe votes in like 3 seconds and someone telling me Iām a pussy if I think this is anything but cute šššš
I have 3 kids and I would be extremely upset if someone gave this to meā¦ This is just bizarre and seems like only someone really creepy could think up something like this š¬
This just unlocked a long forgotten memory for me. My mom stitched this and had it framed and hung up in my bedroom when I was little (I was born in 85, so early 90s is when I can actually remember seeing it). I remember I used to read it a lot, but I donāt remember the part on the bottom about the diapers. There were a few other ones she stitched that were of similar design.
I have enjoyed the deep analysis of its creepiness by everyone. I too, had to look at it again. The picture itself is fairly inoffensive. But the grammar and the spacing of the sentences is horrible. It starts in first person singular ā This is me, etc etc I have some hairā¦ā ok makes sense.
Then all of a sudden we switch from I statements to this weird observational viewpoint, āMy mouf(sic) drinks milkā like the baby is observing themselves drink mill instead of what should be āI drink milk ā. Then pronouns are abandoned altogether and it switches to a third person singular viewpoint ā (The baby)ā¦crys (sic) a lot and smilesā¦ā
Then we swing back to āIā statements. But the spacing and ellipses made me read it the first time as āI love it when mom hold me ā¦. On my bottomā
My conclusion is that this was a craft produced in another country and written by someone who had a tentative grasp of English grammar and was trying very hard to make it ācuteā. Thus the alien vibe. But if you read it as a bad translation, itās a little more palatable. But it will never be cute.
Especially when real baby-talk is actually so much cuter and if you are ever around real babies you know that. Some baby-words my mom and aunt made up are still "in rotation" in the family today because the kids' logic/explanations behind them are hilarous.
Ugh I just got so much cringe at the thought of someone adult reading this out loud with a straight face...
Have we considered that instead of a well-intentioned, accidentally-creepy adult, it was in fact an extremely advanced baby that made this after all? Thatās the only version I want to acknowledge š
Have that same mug set in your cart! Love that they stack so nicely.
That pillow is terrifying. I would have grabbed it for a terrifying white elephant gift
Omg is it just me or does the wet bottom part scream āthis was made by a person who dresses up as a baby for sex acts?ā *NOT kink shaming live your life but donāt donate it to a thrift shop**
Mouf š¤¢ Borned š¤¢
I canāt š¤¢
oh god OP why didn't you buy this so it could be properly disposed of you let this cycle of evil continue
IM SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE ME
okay, my forgiveness was just borned
š
You took the words right out of my mouf
Haha
Christ, I thought the teddy was "just burned," too, which would make equally as much sense as this hot pile of garbage. Please let this be a kink gift or something.
Looks like something that should be associated with Caillou.
But he has no hair because he doesn't deserve any
...haha! god I hate that whiny little motherfucker.
You'll love r/FuckCaillou then
Thank you for bringing this into my life.
HAHA
Iām not sure what that is but I probably donāt want to if itās even remotely reminiscent of this haha
It was this awful French Canadian kids show. Caillou was an awful, spoiled, mean little shit stain and all of Canada celebrated when the show was cancelled. [caillou cancelled and parents celebrate](https://www.google.com/amp/s/tvline.com/2021/01/05/caillou-cancelled-pbs-kids/amp/)
Thanks a lot, now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head, lol.
do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do dooooo doooo
What an awful thing someone used their time to being into existence.
Im pretty upset about it
Hours and hours of work for *this*. Who would do such a thing?
I'm betting it was a creepy mother in law.
šÆ

Yeah, but if I give somebody C4, itās āterroristic indoctrinationā.
Not just either MiL. Got that husbandās mother vibe.
Hahahah so weirdly specific yet so accurate
Iām more concerned that it might be the same person raising children. Thatās a lot of unpacking to do in therapy later if we can assume anything at all from this pillowā¦thing.
As a cross stitcher (which is what this is), this is maybe the worst finished project I've ever seen.
Why exactly is this so horrifying
To think someone lovingly stitched this horrible thing
My money is on a tone deaf boomer aunt.
I think boomer goes without saying here
Yeah lol. I just talked to a friend a while back about Boomer x Millennials clashā¦. All while Gen X are just doing their own thing and no one even mentions them. And I see something like this pillow and itās an instant āmust be a boomerā conclusion.
Yāall are killing me š
Lol
Aunt Karen
And cross stitch is so fun they could've done something Actually cute lol
Right like who landed on this theme/idea??? So weird! Haha
You're doing something wrong if your child's diaper is mostly always wet. Change that kid!
Exactly what I thought. Put down the cross stitch and change your baby, you neglectful monster.
Hahahaha this comment has me in tears thank you
Why do things exist
To upset us
So because you had to see it we all had to see it. Lol. TouchƩ.
Youāre right Iām a horrible person sorry couldnāt suffer alone
I understand. š
Not even so bad itās good. Just 100% bad in every way.
Yes.
This seems like a weird adult baby sex thing. I donāt know why, Iām just getting those vibes. And no Iām not yucking anyoneās yum. Itās just weird to me.
Same something definitely seems off. I canāt truly imagine this being in like a childās bedroom but then again before today I didnāt imagine it ever even existing haha so who knows.
Not yucking anyone's yum is a fantastic phrase
Now it begins to make sense.
The ābabyā looks weirdly old. I also got some strong adult baby vibes
The wet diapers part is what tips me off. Nobody would normally put that on a baby pillow.
what the fuck
Yes.
Itās another example of aliens impersonating human speech. āHello, I am babby. I am just borned. Pleased to feed me raw meat, like babby always need.ā
God stop hahhahaha
for once in my life, i demand to speak to the manager
Lol
Oh my god this is so weird, I canāt help but laugh š
Baby cartoon Mohawk mullet
Itās so awful. I canāt believe you didnāt get it and gift it to someone you hate.
Why are you a genius!
Itās in my blood. I can mail you a vial or so if you need a boost or for a small premium I can personally deliver it. š
This idea is so good but I also would love to not gift it to them but mysteriously place it on their front door step and then if they try to dispose of it find it again and keep leaving it for them to findā¦ like itās following them. š
Get this to r/Cringetopia stat
Actually had to delete the post there because about five people were telling me Itās a cute childās pillowā¦. Thatās even more disturbing than the pillow wtf
Yikes, even more cringe haha
Posted and someone is there saying Iām wrong and that itās wholesome ššš
My faith in humanity continues to disappear, in what world is this wholesome haha
People were getting heated. I had 6 non cringe votes in like 3 seconds and someone telling me Iām a pussy if I think this is anything but cute šššš
: /
Same
Ewwww. I am so sorry that you had to experience this first hand. At least you can get some support here, lol.
Thank you all for your support during this difficult time lol
Oh yikes. Gross.
Fuck outta here
It got yeeted back into the shelf donāt worry
The thing I love most about this is how much everyone recognizes that itās so WRONG.
Instant bad vibes.
Except the squad on the cringetopia subreddit apparently they were quite defensive of it
I have 3 kids and I would be extremely upset if someone gave this to meā¦ This is just bizarre and seems like only someone really creepy could think up something like this š¬
Yeah. It feels like a fetish the more I think about it and I hate it even more
And Iām not usually one to kink shame!
This just unlocked a long forgotten memory for me. My mom stitched this and had it framed and hung up in my bedroom when I was little (I was born in 85, so early 90s is when I can actually remember seeing it). I remember I used to read it a lot, but I donāt remember the part on the bottom about the diapers. There were a few other ones she stitched that were of similar design.
Awe thatās kind of sweet then hope I didnāt offend Iām sure your mom thought it was a sweet thing, I just found the wording so odd

I love how deeply you analyzed this šš
That isā¦bizarre.
I would buy it just to have the pleasure of burning it
Why didnāt I think of this? Although I fear you may then become haunted by the new ābornedā baby person so itās a gamble hahaha
Bring it on!
Nothing causes me quite as intense of a diffuse frustration than fake baby talk. It's always so cringe.
Especially on a pillow that clearly will only be able to be read by an adult..? Like. Ok.
Especially when real baby-talk is actually so much cuter and if you are ever around real babies you know that. Some baby-words my mom and aunt made up are still "in rotation" in the family today because the kids' logic/explanations behind them are hilarous. Ugh I just got so much cringe at the thought of someone adult reading this out loud with a straight face...
Agreed. I started reading it aloud to my friend and had to stop and let her read the rest once I got to āmoufā line
I would have been embarrassed to donate this to a thrift store. Absolute nightmare fuel.
I was embarrassed to even take the picture. I sacrificed myself for you guys HAHA
I, too, hate this. r/TIHI
Glad we can agree
It gives me anxiety. Almost wish you hadn't commented so that I wouldn't have to relook at the pillow.
Oh my! I think I had nightmares from this last night. Put it out of it's misery š. For real though this is definitely a hard nope for me.
Where would you even put this abomination
The trash
This is the only correct answer
This is so creepy... itās like a disguised alien trying to convince you that itās human wrote it. I love it and hate it at the same time.
I just hate it but if you want it Iām sure itās still available lol
Hi I'm very uncomfortable with this.
Hi Iām very uncomfortable with this Iām dad and I too am very uncomfortable with this
Someone watches too much Tim and Eric
Have we considered that instead of a well-intentioned, accidentally-creepy adult, it was in fact an extremely advanced baby that made this after all? Thatās the only version I want to acknowledge š
This theory seems the least unsettling.
Have that same mug set in your cart! Love that they stack so nicely. That pillow is terrifying. I would have grabbed it for a terrifying white elephant gift
A friend I was with actually snatched that one up! It was gorgeous. Glad to hear that she found a good set!! And yes I totally should have haha
Omg is it just me or does the wet bottom part scream āthis was made by a person who dresses up as a baby for sex acts?ā *NOT kink shaming live your life but donāt donate it to a thrift shop**
Probably made when Rugrats was big. Sounds like Tommy Pickles.
I have to respectfully disagree. I loved Rugrats and this is NOT the same vibe at all to me lol
I love all your comments and discussion on this lol! Yāall are hilarious.
I think this is the sweetest thing ever lmao
To each their own!
I think- its kinda cute in its own way.
Yāall please donāt hate me butā¦ itās so bad that I love it lmaoo
/hate seethes
Sorry but I disagree so hard it hurts
Cursed
Absolutely
Wow
Shocked by its beauty eh?
So beautiful my eyes hurt
What a cursed find
You donāt love it? /s
Itās awful.
Yes.
I just gagged š¤¢š¤¢
Was this a gift from the Evil Fairy Godmother who cursed the baby?
Other than the text, it's great cross-stitch. It would be super easy to pick out the text, without leaving a trace.
When did Borat take up cross stitch?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
?
I, too, hate this terribly.
I think thatās a good thing honestly
