Pampers Manages to the Find the One Diaper-Changing Dad
Posted on 25. Apr, 2009 by Brian Reid in Uncategorized
It is a time-honored tradition: every year, on Mother’s Day, the fine folks at Pampers send me a sweet note telling me I’m doing a fantastic job of being a mom. It drives me nuts: not because I am actually offended, not because it’s one more piece of spam, but because it has apparently never occured to Proctor & Gamble that dads might be on their diaper-coupon mailing list.
I’m hoping that they won’t be so dumb as to send me a note this Mother’s Day, but you can never be too sure. P&G held a mommyblogger confab this week, talking to influential blogging moms about diapers and the like. And they included dads! OK … they included “dad.” Singular:
Now, I have nothing against Matt … he is a hell of a blogger, and maybe the guy I would choose to represent me if there could be only one daddyblogger allowed in. But — seriously — P&G couldn’t have found one other guy to participate?

Stuff like that drives me crazy. I saw a sippy cup with points in the back about how great this cup was for the baby, because it was so fun or something, and for the mom, because it was easy to feed the baby with. Unless something involves milk coming out of boobies, I can’t deal with this ignorance and I won’t buy it.
I also hate it that I can’t use the word Ignorant without thinking about Michael Jackson on South Park.
