I love that. I cringed at the gansta-ness, but it's actually brilliant Grin

BarceyDussell · 17/12/2012 14:21

Can you get 3 kids in the back of that car then?

Cabrinha · 17/12/2012 14:34

Catchy and some of the lines were funny - night waker had me nodding.

But... Staged mess on perfectly clean beautiful home, and lines about diets when the actress has a great figure? (with perfect hair) No.

You can't sing about being tired and dirty when you don't look that way!

FestiveWench · 17/12/2012 14:38

my life is nothing like that.

FestiveDigestive · 17/12/2012 15:09

I'm sorry but that made me cringe beyond belief. It seems like an advert made by people who aren't actually parents and are imagining what it might be like. With a middle class 'mother' doing some kind of dodgy rap... (I just hide to hide my head another the duvet and turn off as I couldn't watch anymore Grin )

peaceandlovebunny · 17/12/2012 15:44

the words were definitely by people who'd 'been there' or were bothered to find out...

it made me feel quite sad, actually. being a mum is fantastic. where was that in the ad?

WingDefence · 17/12/2012 16:04

Not my life at all but I thought it was very clever.

101handbags · 17/12/2012 16:36

'Filling up your timeline with my baby news..' Yep, have plenty of friends who do that.

BunnyLebowski · 17/12/2012 16:43

Couldn't make it past 30 seconds.

Cringe!!!

BridgetBidet · 17/12/2012 17:02

Oh dear. God I hate these ads like the Asda and Morrisons one which moan about motherhood. I don't want to be a whinging harpy banging on about how hard my life is all the time. They don't really come across as people you'd want to be like or be around.

LineRunner · 17/12/2012 17:05

Managed 20 seconds. Sorry.

showmethetoys · 17/12/2012 17:27

I usually hate things about 'us busy mums', but funnily I actually really like this.

Although I still just cannot relate to the whole 'stressed mother' thing that I see so much on tv and in real life as well I am the mum of only one very laid back boy though so I have a feeling my time will come Also agree that she is too thin and made up to be genuine!

But a lot of the things referred to in the advert were definitely not things I had ever really thought about before having children (eg. comparing episiotomy stiches, expressing/breastfeeding, soft play) so I think they researched it well. I thought it was a bit 'Mumsnet' actually!

SantaJaxx · 17/12/2012 18:07

I liked it, actually. A bit cringeworthy in places, but quite true. I agree with showmethetoys it is a bit "Mumsnet".

alcibiades · 17/12/2012 18:56

I quite liked it, though I only watched about half. It was clever, but maybe just bit too clever.

I like this one:

BridgetBidet · 17/12/2012 19:16

alcibiades that was funny.

Acinonyx · 17/12/2012 19:29

Funny - my favourite line: I joined a bookclub just so I could drink some wine'.....

Theicingontop · 17/12/2012 19:41

"These holes in my chest."

Fucking vom.

WeWilsonAMerryChristmas · 17/12/2012 19:52

Some bits funny. Some bits a bit, well, 'let's start an AIBU bunfight.' Hmm
Are we being watched?

hairychristmasandahappynewyear · 17/12/2012 19:57

Cringeworthy and unfunny.

Portrays a far more luxurious lifestyle than "most" mums.

And a SAHM I think, which moat aren't.

StickEmWithThePointyEnd · 17/12/2012 19:58

"Gave up on real food, eat left over fishfingers."

Oh yes. I get that.

alcibiades · 17/12/2012 20:53

Bridget - I thought it was funny because it was fast and frenetic. I have only two DC (who were mostly well-behaved, and are now adults) but I can still recall days when it seemed I was having to herd a whole flock of sheep whilst needing the precision of the average air traffic controller.

The "joining the book club" line is funny, but not the "holes in my chest" which I think is almost offensive.

wannabedomesticgoddess · 17/12/2012 21:10

I like this one. DP found it the other day.

The parent rap

BridgetBidet · 17/12/2012 22:31

alcibiades I was referring to the one you posted!
