To think this wonderfully sensitive of Asda?

[PicaK]

Just got an email from Asda asking if I want to opt out of mother's day advertising.

I don't but I can imagine some will.
Wish all advertisers did this.

Asda - great work. Could have done to opt out of Valentine's Day tho - just saying for next year.

Cynical part of me wondering if it's publicity ploy but most of me thinks there's someone at Asda instigated this for personal reasons - so thank you and condolences.

I don’t really see the need. There’s lots of shitty things that happen to people - mothers’ day is hardly a controversial celebration.

I lost my mother when I was young - I don’t need to pretend other people aren’t celebrating. Likewise with fathers’ day.

I think it shows a lack of resilience if you can’t cope with the mention of a day you don’t celebrate.

This was my thinking too.

I just felt bad after I wrote my post earlier.

I have obviously built a lot of resilience during my life as I really do just get on with things without being triggered. I can actually laugh at some of the awful things that have happened to me and my family now!

It did read very flippantly but at least you've realised that.
