Some of these Whiny women need to get a grip. It is unfortunately that mothers, doing the most important and hardest job in the world, feel a need to validate themselves by creating a cause when there is none. These women are the very reason folks devalue the role of motherhood. It is as if they are screaming, "look at me; I have value and I have worth". For God sake, you do have value and worth; start acting like it. Congratulations to Motrin for making a funny commercial. Please do not pull the ad. These women 's homornes must be out of whack. They are upset for no reason. I believe there ranting is due to their low sense of worth. A woman that truly believes she is doing the most inportant job in the world does not have to be so sensitive. God help us. To the upset moms about the Motrin commercial, listen up. You are wonderful. You do the most important job in the world. You are special. You are irreplacable. The world is better because you are in it. Now that we have gotten this behind us; chill out!

So, maybe I don't have a reason to be offended. I don't feel that the ad was trying to offend anyone, but you can't make everyone happy. Those that were offended need to look inside themselves to know the real reason why they were offended. I agree with Janet. We should use our power to make a difference for things that really matter :) I have two children and found this ad to be amusing, but I didn’t use a sling.

As I said in my blog today, it was amazing watching from the sidelines, you could practically feel the groundswell. Now how do we incite that kind of passion for things that really matter? How about that well in Ethiopia for a start? http://tinyurl.com/3umshd If Twitter can do that for someone's birthday, imagine the power we could harness for worthwhile efforts. Excellent post.
