And yes, this is petty, and no this is not all I have to worry about!
Was sitting in traffic at commute time (as in, the time people would have picked up their DC's from nursery/day care/cm and be driving home with them in the car) and a advert omes on the radio.
It was about I want such and such for Christmas, who is going to get it for me...Mummy! And how lovely Mummy was for getting it for them (It was a song and cant remember the exact words) Then a little speil about how if we dont want to disapoint our darling children at Christmas then we can buy them what they want at cheap prices/ with this amazing deal.
Basically, I was a little annoyed that it was revealing to the DC that the fat man does not exist. Sure this is fine for older children but for children travelling home at that time who are young enough to still believe it could cause some awkward questions!
(And I know everyone does not celebrate Christmas/perpetuate the red man myth, but we do so I was a little bit annoyed!)
AIBU to think they could promote their Christmas goods without revealing the secret behind the magic for many young children?
(And even more annoyingly, I was miffed and thinking this over so I cant even remember that bloody company that was advertising!! )

To be mildly, very mildly, miffed by this advert?
