I used a baby sling with Pete. I liked having him close, and it was nice to be able to use my arms. I stopped using it, though, because it made my back hurt. According to a recent ad from Motrin, I should have popped a few pills and powered on through.
I’m betting a few someones in Motrin’s marketing department are looking for new jobs today. While I don’t think it’s a particularly good ad, I didn’t really find it offensive. Other moms, though? They were furious. So much so that Motrin pulled the ad.
I think they were trying to be snarky and hip. But really, if there’s a group of people you shouldn’t be snarky toward? It’s women with young children. Because they’re tired, and their hormones are out of control. Or maybe that’s just me.
What do you think?
