to me, the message of these ads appear to be that Mum is expected to do everything. Now, I am a relatively new, full time working mum - and this is exactly how it is panning out in my home. I do the vast majority of housework etc. as well as a full time job and anticipate in the run up to christmas this will be no different (as I am sure is the same for many mums).
However, when I saw these ads, particularly the Asda one, I was quite irate. It is somehow confirming that we should be happy and accepting of this situation. Especially at the end, after all the hard work, the mums are so smiley and accepting. Sorry - but if DH asks 'what are we having for tea?' the first instant i get to sit down on xmas day, he will get left over turkey over his head instead of a whimsicle smile.

AIBU?
AIBU to be a bit annoyed by the both the Morrisons and Asda xmas ads?
