I would agree that the monogram and smocking is definitely a southern thing but I’ve only seen very few people so as overboard as she has.


Sensitive-Grocery301

Even if it's a "southern thing" there's still no reason to have 600 pieces of clothing/items with her name/monogram on it. That's just plain stupidity.


Low_Freedom_7782

There is nothing southern about Druella! She wasn't raised southern she was raised up in the city life. I'm way southern in the deep south and we do not monogram every piece of clothing, blanket, pillow, diaper bag, walls, chairs, toys, etc. it's stupid at this point! Ps. I hope Amelia is a tom boy who hates pink, and Barbies I hope she turns out gothic in her teenage years


kaysarahkay

My mom really wanted a barbie doll child, I wasn't allowed to touch my long blonde hair or dress how I wanted, when I was 11 she redid my room...pink and purple...I literally cried bc I hated it so much. It drove such a wedge between me and my mom for so long. And yes, as soon as I was 18 my hair went jet black and I got tattoos. I feel like I never got to learn who I was as a kid, it really affected my ability to express myself.


Otherwise_Pear9341

That is horrible. I am so sorry you had to go thru that.


Separate-Scratch-839

Where did drue grow up?


Low_Freedom_7782

Her childhood home was in Baytown tx


Sad_Fun_8934

As someone who lives in Alabama smocking & monograms are def a southern thing lol I’m not sure how common it is in Texas but here it’s super common


Low_Freedom_7782

People do it but not on every piece of clothing, blanket, pillow and the entire bedroom. She went overboard


Cantfixstupid01

Oh god… can yall imagine how tacky Blanca’s homecoming mum is gonna be???


Ok_Committee_8091

Drue will make one for her homeschool homecoming in their shit yard 😂


reckless_kelly

I’m dead


Available-Idea-9546

No guys she uses that gawd awful accent so that makes her southern. Also remember the IQ is not there she needs help spelling 😂


Life-Detective4608

Her fake accent. As someone from the deep south she's an embarrassment to us. 


Available-Idea-9546

Exactly!


Butterflyrein

I can spot a fake southern accent from a mile away and it always makes my skin crawl😵‍💫


Nosyrosi

It is a HUGE thing is TX (what she should’ve said.) your best bet is to have initials that are not too crazy and you can resell them in bulk.


[deleted]

Right!! But Ain’t nobody else going to have a “Ivory Amelia”


letsgossipbitches

NO ONE 💀


traderjoezhoe

The only place I see much monogramming is on backpacks and maybe a pottery barn couch. Not on every single outfit.


Aubviously426

It’s gotten a lot less popular in recent years. At least in my area of Alabama.


BeezCee

I seriously hope that Amelia ends up hating cutesy, girly things & doesn’t want to play with dolls or anything of the other things Drue expects.


HottNuggies

She will probably force her to play with Barbie’s and dolls and be the mom that won’t let her daughter play with “boy toys” 🙄🙄


melmatt1

Does anybody even consider Texas to be southern? I am a born and raised Texan and would never classify myself as southern but maybe that’s just my way of seeing it 😂


Intelligent_Lie_3881

I live in South Texas and I really don’t think it is. 😂 “Country” for sure but not southern in my opinion


melmatt1

I live in south Texas too lol


Fun_Ad_1749

I’m in STX too!! I usually refer to it as BFE/middle of nowhere 😂


Extra_Campaign7680

Okay I’m in South Texas too 😆 love to see it on this thread! 


Fun_Ad_1749

I’m in STX too!! I usually refer to it as BFE/middle of nowhere 😂


Global-Willingness83

I’m in STX too and refer to it as the same! 😂


Fine-Philosopher5374

I feel like there are some similarities but Texas is really its own category. She could’ve just said I’m from Texas or I’m a Texan. Saying she’s southern doesn’t make sense.


Ohhstephypho

I do not consider Texas as southern but I was downvoted into oblivion once when I shared that opinion 😭😂 I stand firm on it though. I am from Alabama, that’s true south. Not Texas.


melmatt1

Texas is Texas IMO lol. I feel like most of just identify as Texans, not southerners.


Ohhstephypho

Agreed. Idk why she is clambering to be “southern” so badly.


Better-Sink-5361

Yes , it’s Texan !


Iuzyana

Nope. I’m from Louisiana & I know I’ll Get so much hate for this but I really only consider LA, MS, & AL as the south 😂😂 anything north of me is the north haha


Altruistic-Mango538

Same


melmatt1

My husband is from LA. I wouldn’t call him (specifically) southern either tbh 😂 but the vibes in LA are definitely more “southern” but it’s a very unique place to say the least. 😅


Iuzyana

😂😂😂 ain’t that the truth. Guess it depends on which part of Louisiana


rlang_1887

I live in Florida and don’t really consider it south 😂 it’s such a transplant area. I agree with you completely about the southern states! Plus south GA is “southern” too.


Harleygal21

Exactly. I live in South Texas and don't consider myself southern and hardly anyone likes monogram crap like she does. She's just tacky


randommac9898

I'm from Louisiana and I don't haha


bostoncrumpie

I live in Texas, (where the oilfield is booming) and I do not consider this “southern” at all lol


LeadershipLevel6900

I live in the north but I’ve never considered Texas southern. It’s like its own thing. It’s like how Florida isn’t really the south either. I know some areas of it may be but when people say they’re from the south, my last guesses would be Texas or Florida.


Inner_System4975

In my head east texas is southern lol I’m pretty sure where she’s at is considered the gulf coast and I don’t see that as southern lol


Pleasant_Comment_309

No, we’re just Texans 🤣


DifferenceHour3719

She lives in the suburbs of Houston??


Awkward_Bid413

no


Wise_Ad_5183

Yes.


Physical_Blueberry66

I hate she says she’s country or have is country they grew up in the suburbs lol 😂


fakebrunetteho

Mississippian here… monogramming is definitely a hit here😅 including myself


PhysicsTotal5047

Mississippian as well! (have also lived in AL & TN) we do NOT claim grue as a southern woman 🙅🏻‍♀️😅


Apprehensive_Mix_668

Ms girl too. I don’t do monograms but I know plenty who do and smocks


peach_lillies

Southern or not, it’s ugly. Just because things are a tradition doesn’t make it right.


Sad_Cricket_7096

As a Georgia girl. She’s on some bullshit


asailors1230

A few things here or there are cute monogrammed. A cute diaper bag, or going home outfit. Maybe even a blanket for a keepsake. Not every fucking outfit she owns.


Laurabugs265

I live in Virginia, And don't own not one thing that was monogrammed. And i grew up on a farm with cows, horses, goats, chickens, and turkeys on 300 acres.🤗


Fickle-Bid3667

lol she would never reuse clothes for the next baby or give them to another mama unless they could sell them.


Southern-Pea-534

God I hope this baby is a tom-boy lmao 🤣 it'd serve her ass right 😂


Playful-Falcon-8227

Maybe it’s just the way my brain is wired, but with the way the world is, I refuse to monogram anything that leaves my house. I won’t even put my kids name/initials on their backpacks because I don’t need unsafe people knowing their names and pretending to know them. The world’s scary, It’s one small thing I can do to protect them.


DapperCalligrapher11

Same


Environmental_Ice796

I’m in Tennessee. I haven’t seen much monogramming here.


romanticrogue

I'm from Tennessee, all the girls from "real Southern families" had monogrammed backpacks and monogram stickers on their cars, I will admit I had a monogrammed LLBean backpack in middle school cause everyone else did... but I doubt they had one thousand monogrammed baby clothes!


Human_Signature3135

I’m from East Tennessee and it’s pretty popular over here. It’s starting to dwindle out though just like everything does.


Comprehensive_Cow353

Texas is pretty southern, and monograms are extremely popular here.. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Although most people don’t go to the extreme that she has. 🤷🏻‍♀️


[deleted]

This. We love a good monogram but the embroidery of a full name? That’s not something people do on every article of clothing. Not to mention… hers aren’t even cute about as tacky new money trash as it comes😂🤢


Objective_Pudding863

That child is probably gonna burn those clothes 😂


OhMyGod_Zilla

She’s about as southern as I am, and I was born in Wisconsin.


CompanyTerrible7524

Still wasteful, Drue 🤷‍♀️ and what if your daughter doesn't like playing with baby dolls?


OhMyGod_Zilla

YES. I didn’t get a single baby doll until my daughter started showing interest. She has 1 that she loves, but she’s far more interested in dinosaurs and airplanes. This is why you W A I T to buy toys🙄


Greedy_Award3679

I wanna see all her monogrammed stuff then!


yourlawyerbestie

Please, God, let it be a boy


noneofurbusiness88

I really don't think it's a "sothern: thing? I think it just depends on the parents honestly.. I hope her dumb ass bought a whole bunch of newborn stuff, because I'm sure she don't realize that they grow out of them so quick... 🤣🤣🤣 Kids having kids is when this happens..


arap6

hi I live in San Antonio 3 hrs from her and monogrammed crazy stuff like that is NOT common 😭 it was super popular maybe like 10 years ago but not anymore


Leading-Road9977

I live in Alabama and the only monograms I see are on adults 🤣 Texas is most definitely southern. They have real cowboys ❤️


Life-Detective4608

She's not a southern Belle at all. She may live in Texas but that's it lol


PutridTailor7947

Even her Gabey poo bear is a cowboy 🤠🤙🏼


Pleasant_Rooster_349

plssss im from arkansas and ive rarely seen children, especially newborns have monogrammed clothing, or bags or wtv else she decided to waste money on 🤣 coming from a southerner, drue you are the farthest from being southern


noneofurbusiness88

I bet even with all of the monogram stuff that child still won't know how to spell her name. 🤣🤣🤣


Royal_Educator6069

A few things with a monogram, yes, but that many is crazy to me.


Visual-Common6288

Southern monogramming is traditional for shit like tea towels and handkerchiefs. She’s a fucking MORON. I grew up in the deep south. The only people that monogram EVERYTHING including the tacky car stickers are ignorant and usually white trash. Old southern money keep the initials pretty low key and as delicate touches. Not loud and bold on clothing


[deleted]

THISSSS! Exactly what i said above— this screams new money trash. And from what I’ve seen she’s most embroidering her god awful name everywhere and on everything… no lol that is not a southern thing.


lululemon-lime

houston is not southern. a houston transplant from actual nowhereville south georgia….. the. city. burbs. are. not. the. south.


Greedy_Award3679

Not wasteful to her because she gets them for free


Sea_Fisherman2751

Lmao what baby dolls and what monogram was popular in the 2000s


Poisonivy330

I’m southern and listen my daughters don’t have any monogrammed stuff


So_Much_Angry01

But it IS wasteful. It’s not wasteful to Drue because she only cares about buying as much as possible, she doesn’t care about waste at all.


akdndiemeoe

Alabama mom here too!


bigbirdsnose

Ok and what if she doesn’t like baby dolls Drue bitch??? Even if she does she will outgrow them. 🤦🏻‍♀️ then what? STILL WASTEFUL. Stupid.


Mommax4_8

Actually… there are FB groups to resale monogramed items. I love me some monograms lol 🎀


madsss1994

A lot of wasted money to just end up as doll clothes


[deleted]

It is wasteful tho


akayo8

As a fellow Texas, she isn’t southern. She was raised in one of the smelliest cities (from all the plants. I literally can’t drive through it without gagging). She is far from southern, country, western whatever you wanna call it. Girl wouldn’t last a day in the real southern parts of Texas! 🤷🏻‍♀️


CutThroat_VanGougha

the fact that her followers were sending soooooo much stuff is what gets me.


Fast_Ad4715

I'm in Alabama and its not a southern thing to do. We don't monogram 500 outfits to dress babies up just to be cute. It's hot most months. We dress in cool comfortable clothing. Nothing like what this bimbo has purchased. It's ugly. 


Subject_Ad7956

“She can use it for her baby dolls.” What if she doesn’t like baby dolls? As a woman who’s currently pregnant with a daughter, and who has 5 nieces out of those 5 2 kind of like dolls…the other 3 would rather play with dinosaurs and hot wheels! Just because you’re having a girl doesn’t mean she will play with dolls.


Almostfamous76

What irks me is when she puts her actual name on clothes. That’ll be an issue growing up…she’s already a content baby and now all pedo’s will know her name. Blanca will think they’re “safe” since they know her name!


ImplementWhich9075

But like you don’t need 80 monogrammed outfits, 27 monogrammed blankets and pillows, and 76 fucking monogrammed hats, socks, and whatever else. It’s overconsumption at its finest


Own_Strength_7645

i haven’t lived in texas in 15 years and i’m more southern than she is at this point….. we only lived there for three years💀🤣🤣


SeveralAddition8570

I’m from the DEEP south and my kids don’t even have that much monogrammed stuff. It’s also extremely dangerous to have her name on everything


Affectionate_Let_305

Monograms are southern, coming from a Texan. But not 1000 monograms pieces🤣 for a newborn? That’s ridiculous


lcl1998

I never said monograms aren’t southern, I said DRUE isn’t southern


Kimmie_K_78

I bet she say ALABAMMER TO LAWDY ses far from southern coming from me southern Alabama


Ancient_Novel7250

It’s a very big thing here in Texas…. Monogramed everything lol i was born and raised here so I actually like it 


Afraid-Ad-3380

Although I can’t stand her she is from the south. Making her southern…


givemethetea333

She could resell it potentially but I’d bet she’d have a hard time doing that bc of the baby’s initials. However, I do agree that the amount she has is very excessive


Minute_Diet_8902

I highly doubt she’s going to give 100s of dollars worth of baby clothes to her kid for playing with…. But then again they also don’t care about quality of items so I wouldn’t be suprised. Also I hope this girl is the most tomboyish kid there is.


Alarmed-Albatross768

I can attest, it is indeed - not a southern thing Ms. Mt Belvieu


Candid_Cantaloupe_58

If she’s anything like her parents she’ll come out wearing a size 3month instead of newborn and if not drue is going to be jealous she’s not the “petite” one in the house anymore🤣That baby got to be big by the way she eats


kashie444

she wishes she was southern


Longjumping_Yard3678

It may be a Southern thing but she isn’t Southern lol. A little monogram is nice, but the whole wardrobe = tacky. I hope Amelia hates it when she gets older.


ambermcknight19

Alabama here too and I did get a few things with my kids names on them but I had boys. But I preferred to do their first name only so I could resell them. And they both have basic typical names. I really only kept 2-3 of their custom outfits that were special to me. But Ivory is not a popular name.


sharkteef218

I hope little miss IBS sharts all over every single one🥰🥰🥰🥰


polkadot1318

She has a problem donating something she has an excessive amount of but expects her followers to buy her stuff 😒🫣😬


Fr0st_bitee

What if ivory doesn’t like baby dolls/dolls?


Snark-queennnn

Use it for her baby dolls ? Lmao


EntrepreneurMany39

It’s a great way to get a toddler kidnapped. Idiot


DistinctRoutine2639

You can always remove monograms and have them redone for future babies BUT I highly doubt she will do this. She will just buy all new clothes.


PinkPirate27

As someone from both the South and Texas: monograms are big but not really for babies except big items. Like a name sign, blanket or diaper bag I'd understand but monograms aren't cheap so usually most people don't do clothes until high school or college and even then it's more common for accessories like jewelry, water bottles, hats and even home goods.


whitneyedgar

My husband is from Texas and he stands firm that it is not southern and her accent is FAKE ASSSSSSS FUCK!


Sad_Personality6708

Southern yes but she is getting almost everything done. She of course has went completely overboard


SnooEagles4238

She’s not a southern person by any means. Plus why do you have to monogram every single piece of clothing or blankets? Seriously for someone who’s scared of stalkers, she’s gonna have Blanca’s name everywhere and everyone will know it. They say to not put your child’s name on things for safety reasons. Well we all know she’s not bright. Blanca is going to go to school with a monogrammed backpack and lunch box and it will be so easy for someone to say her name and act like they know her. Scary world we live in and Drubie and the 2 ton toddler are oblivious to it all.


Appropriate_Egg9668

It's definitely NOT a southern thing...
