My Dad whilst visiting the other weekend, as i am pregnant and trying to get all the necessities before d day, was pleasantly surprised by the changes in provision since i was born and ease of access to all sorts of baby equipment. He said something to the effect that wasn't it good what they had for mothers these days. I know he was only trying to be enthusiastic, but it made my blood boil. The nappy bin and cellular blankets are not for me! My husband is equally responsible for the kitting out of our future child. Now every time i see the mothercare brand i see an oldfashioned name reinforcing an out of date concept. Am i being unreasonable? Is this PC gone mad? Or is language an important cultural signifier?
