Anyone else sick of the weight loss ads on this site???
I've been on here all of 2hrs and I'v had a gutfull of companies telling me I'm too fat.
I know I have a weight issue. Dont we all? Being a mum should make us exempt form this kind of prejudiced marketing, not targets of it! Dont they know we have enough self esteem issues?????
With every Aunt, Mother in law, and :(my favourite): childless person, telling us what we're doing wrong as mothers aren't we suffering enough???
We all love our kids, don't we?
We all want the best for them, don't we?
We all do the best we can, don't we?
So how about hose ignoramuses try walking a day in our shoes and do what we do and THEN tell us we're doing it wrong.
Then, tell us we're too fat, and should really book in for a bikini wax and take pole dancing lessons because our partners "deserve" it, or we need to find one to make our lives "complete".
Get stuffed!!
Just come up with a device that helps me remember my multivitamin (after I've fed, changed, clothed, read to, answered, brushed, protected, fed again, and loved) the kids and I'll be FINE!!

AMEN! I don't need to be reminded that my son is over a year now and the baby weight can't be used as an excuse. you would think all the chasing we do as moms with our active little ones we would all be 100lbs! But I know I'm not, and I don't care, I'm a happy mommy and my son loves me no matter what my weight!

Yes there are a lot of flip ads at the side of the main forum. Are you getting pop ups in addition to those or are you strictly referring to those ads that are on the side screen? Although I can't say as though they bug me? I "tune them out". I justify it as everyone has to advertise somewhere... although your right, they do tend to hit target audiences.
