Caregiving Hoodie - Raw Real Unapologetic "It Takes and Takes" Caregiver Apparel

This heavyweight Champion hoodie is for exhausted caregivers who are done pretending.

Bold white typography on deep black reads "CARE GIVING / IT TAKES AND TAKES /"  a raw, honest statement that acknowledges the relentless emotional labor of caregiving.

Raw. Real. Unapologetic.

Day1Father creates authentic apparel for caregivers who reject toxic positivity. This isn't about gratitude or finding silver linings. It's about naming the truth: caregiving takes and takes. It's never full. And you're allowed to hate that.

For the caregiver who:

- Became a caregiver too young and lost their childhood

- Thinks about quitting every single day

- Is carrying this weight alone

- Is tired of performing strength they don't feel

- Knows that "self-care" advice is insulting when something is actively draining you

This hoodie is an identification marker. When someone sees it, they know you're at the bottom of the black hole too.

Features:

• 80% cotton, 20% polyester blend

• Medium-heavy fabric (8.0 oz/yd²)

• Two-ply hood with white drawcords

• Roomy kangaroo pocket

• Ribbed cuffs and waistband

• Runs true to size

No hero narratives. No inspiration porn. Just the truth about what caregiving costs.

Designed for caregivers, by someone who became one at 11 years old.
