Up and Not Crying T-Shirt – Funny Relatable Graphic Tee for Tired Parents and Real Life Humor

Wear a little bit of Scandinavian wisdom with this “Up and Not Crying” graphic t-shirt, featuring hand-drawn block letters in a casual, playful style.

The phrase “Up and not crying” (translated from the Norwegian “Oppe og ikke gråter”) is a quirky, honest response to “How are you?” It means: I’m functioning, I’m upright, and I’m not in tears—so that’s good enough for today. It’s a gentle reminder that even small victories—just getting up and getting through the day—count as success.

Perfect for tired parents, teachers, college students, healthcare workers, caregivers, and anyone juggling life’s chaos, this shirt is equal parts relatable humor and self-compassion.

Soft, comfortable, and made for everyday wear, it’s a great conversation starter and a perfect gift for anyone who understands that sometimes, just showing up is an achievement.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, which is good for me, for you, and for the environment.
