Is it just me, or is this just creepy! I think my husband would die of cringe if I tried to mother him that much!

It's the beautific smile on her face that grinds me, as though she is so perfectly fulfilled by caring for the man child.

It's very creepy!

EWWWWWWWWW!

poor ickle poorly man baby with his man flu, nothing works until his problem-solving missus soothes his poorliness by rubbing some stuffs on him.

Just bleurgh. This type of advertising demeans men as much as it does women. Back in the real world, men have colds and crack on; they are also eminently capable of rubbing expensively priced “cold cures” on their own chests, should they wish.

I am never a what about the men, but this advert is just shit, for everyone.

I keep thinking of a tub of Vicks VapoRub full of chest hair and bleeeuurrgghh!

What was wrong with man rubbing stuff on his own chest and maybe his babies chest? Rather than the Florence nightingale thing of a woman tending to everyone.

I cringed when I saw it. And immediately thought I'd been catapulted back to the 1950's.

I'm reminded of that thread about someone's DH having an ill voice, I can just see this man in the advert doing a tongue-out-infant cough, or calling his wife mum.

Where is the dressing gown of Doom??
