Caregiving T-Shirt - "It Takes and Takes" Raw Real Unapologetic Caregiver Apparel

This soft cotton crew tee is for exhausted caregivers who are done performing strength they don't feel.

Bold white typography on black reads "CARE GIVING / IT TAKES AND TAKES /"  a raw, honest statement that names what nobody else will say.

Raw. Real. Unapologetic.

Day1Father creates authentic apparel for caregivers who reject toxic positivity. This isn't about gratitude or hero narratives. 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

- Thinks about quitting every day

- Is carrying this weight alone

- Lost their twenties, their thirties, their plans

- Is tired of "you're so strong" when they feel empty

This shirt is an identification marker. A quiet signal to other people at the bottom of the black hole.

No inspiration. No silver linings. Just the truth about what caregiving costs.
