Does this Motrin ad speak to you?  As a woman and as a Mom (of five daughters), I take myself and my responsibilities as such very seriously.   I am insulted, I am angered, and I am pissed off by this Motrin ad campaign.

 

 

 ”Wearing your baby seems to be in fashion.

I mean, in theory it’s a great idea.

There’s the front baby carrier, sling, schwing, wrap, pouch.

And who knows what else they’ve come up with. Wear your baby on your side, your front, go hands free.

Supposedly, it’s a real bonding experience.

They say that babies carried close to the bod tend to cry less than others.

But what about me? Do moms that wear their babies cry more than those who don’t?

I sure do!

These things put a ton of strain on your back, your neck, your shoulders. Did I mention your back?!

I mean, I’ll put up with the pain because it’s a good kind of pain; it’s for my kid.

Plus, it totally makes me look like an official mom.

And so if I look tired and crazy, people will understand why.”

Who the *heck* thought this campaign was a good idea?!  A bunch of morons, that’s who.  In response to this ad campaign many women are speaking out:

Annoyed By Motrin’s New Ad Campaign - Perfectly Natural Photography

Moms Speak Out Against Motrin Ad and Motrin Moms - Shake the Salt!

If this kind of ad campaign infuriates you, make sure you join the rapidly growing list of individuals who are speaking out against Motrin at “Shake the Salt.”  And in the meantime, generic ibuprofen works fine for me.
