Given how horribly traumatising (and dangerous) it is to actually drop a baby? It hasn't happened to me, but it's my worst nightmare. This 'funny' logo actually makes me feel a bit yucky in the pit of my stomach.

I just thought to myself this morning "that Mumsnet logo with the baby falling down, did I really see that it was it a sleep-deprivation induced hallucination as I was up feeding last night?" Then I realised I'd seen it when the site was having problems.

I think your feelings are slightly over the top.

Bloodycats · 07/08/2019 14:13

I think you are over reacting a bit. It’s just a drawing, don’t think any real babies were harmed in the making of it.

Shinyletsbebadguys · 07/08/2019 14:13

You are being dramatic

Seeline · 07/08/2019 14:14

Seen it enough times over the last couple of days and never even noticed that it wasn't the normal logo!

I think you're overthinking.

jesuschristwtf · 07/08/2019 14:14

really? This is what you really are upset about? Isnt the logo just a picture of mumum 'juggling' so many things at once? Depicting a mum as a super multi-tasker? Are you HONESTLY upset about it? FYI - my baby has fallen, it was an accident - accidents happen you know?

Bloodycats · 07/08/2019 14:14

Plus how do you know it’s not a ninja baby and is actually jumping in to the mothers arms?

Pinkprincess1978 · 07/08/2019 14:14

I've never given it a seconds thought - and I let (accidentally) both my children fall from the changing table so have 'dropped' my baby. That picture had never once bright back traumatic memory for me.

Good lord.

IAskTooManyQuestions · 07/08/2019 14:14

Oh lord

bluegirlgreen · 07/08/2019 14:15

I never even noticed the baby dropping!

Can't say it bothers me tbh!

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 07/08/2019 14:16

I think you need to get out more......

People really are looking to be offended by anything these days aren’t they? 🙄

Is this real Confused

toadabode · 07/08/2019 14:18

Get a grip

Chickychoccyegg · 07/08/2019 14:20

yeah sorry op, I'd say you're overreacting too.

Tattybogle89 · 07/08/2019 14:22

I would be more concerned about them riding on the roof of the car...

Spacerader · 07/08/2019 14:22

I think you may be overeacting a little.

Youwanapizzame · 07/08/2019 14:22

Oh dear - do take a chill pill

This logo is a take off of the Charlies Angels logo isnt it?

FallenSky · 07/08/2019 14:23

Fixed it. You can stop worrying now, the baby is fine.

I'm deeply concerned and upset that the woman on the right is holding a bottle. She is CLEARLY shaming breast feeders.

The above is sarcasm.

@FallenSky

BRILLIANT! Grin

StupidlittlepricknamedRick · 07/08/2019 14:25

Jesus...

Bezalelle · 07/08/2019 14:25

The comma splice disturbs me more. It should be "Damn! We..."

Not to mention the erroneous dash. It should be "Sorry about that. We'll..."

DOES NOBODY LEARN GRAMMAR ANYMORE?

< shuffles off shaking fist >

wanderings · 07/08/2019 14:25

And isn't "damn" a swear word? Shock Oh wait, swearing is allowed on MN!

Remember when that baby had a crown on?

If there was anything to get pissed off about on this site recently, it was those Angry Birds ads - I'm glad they've flown away.

7sunnysundays · 07/08/2019 14:25

People will honestly complain about anything and everything these days 🤦‍♀️

@FallenSky that's brilliant 😂
