As if the world wasn't hard enough to navigate, having someone throw this in our face during what is supposed to be a fun time just seemed... I don't even have a word for it.

Thank you so much for adding your perspective to the conversation. I, too, am saddened when I see parents who are neglectful or inattentive when it comes to their children, especially when I talk to moms and dads every day who would gladly forfeit their own lives so that their child might live. And you're right ... I become angry when I see parents consciously engaging in behaviors that put their children at risk, such as driving without having their small child properly restrained in a car seat. However, it was just so insensitive to parents who have lost children ... ripping the scab off a still-bleeding wound for many. The fact that they invited CNN to film their decision process makes it clear that they knew they could potentially be headed for trouble with this one. It seems they could have communicated their message about the importance of child safety in a less hurtful manner.

And the hope that the ad moves people to think about mortality. (during a time in my sadness after attending a child's funeral, God reminded me that Becky wasn't missing anything, from her perspective - quite the opposite).<br />As a spouse married to a safety professional, I see the lack of awareness that so many people have, esp with their kids. If you were to mention something to someone, like a person driving with a 6 year old in the front seat, you become a target for their anger. So, I appreciate that Nationwide took this conversation to a whole new level with the commercial. I hope that the conversations with be productive and not just ranting. <br />This link my be of interest to some of your readers - Nationwide invited CNN to observe their process to deciding which commercial to air - and why - before they even made the decision.<br /><br />http://money.cnn.com/video/news/2015/02/02/super-bowl-commercial-behind-the-scenes.cnnmoney/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471228237656801865.post-54673156420261487772015-02-03T09:08:00.624-06:002015-02-03T09:08:00.624-06:00I thought it was an odd commercial too, infact mos...I thought it was an odd commercial too, infact most of them were strange in my mind. Other than the cute little puppy one.<br />I am sorry it stirred some many feelings for so many people. I do feel it was very insensitive especially during a football game, on the other hand if it caused a parent to say, "oh where is my child?" at the moment of watching the game then maybe it brings a perspective of your children are more important than the partying and a game on the tv. does that make sense? I did not like the theme of most of all of the commercials this year... there was an undercurrent of message. I am sorry it stirred so much for so many.Thoughts for the dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07166340365607117445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471228237656801865.post-21734085127601001692015-02-03T07:01:59.608-06:002015-02-03T07:01:59.608-06:00Thank you all so much for your kind words.

Every word you just said is over the top with wisdom and was so comforting and healing to so many broken hearts done by this senseless commercial. I can handle well meaning people saying the wrong things, mistakenly thinking they are "comforting" me, but for all involved in this commercial. . .what were they thinking??? I am so thankful you were born for such a time as this, and are showing us all in so many ways what the heart and hands and feet of Jesus is like, as He flows through you so beautifully!debironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026960356446460040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471228237656801865.post-5490222647416543322015-02-02T22:22:47.330-06:002015-02-02T22:22:47.330-06:00Wow...such wisdom.
