So its Spring Break 2010 and what are my plans? A trip to Florida? A weekend getaway at the beach? Or a series of nights out with friends? Let’s try none of the above. Instead of these wonderful options, I’m at home with my 14 month old daughter. Though it is great spending time with her and it is much needed bonding time, there are times when I find myself reflecting on this commercial that I saw. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-OqKWXirsU. The message to “Use Condoms” rings out loud and clear, but it is a message that I feel fails to ring out enough.
The prevention of a screaming kid a grocery store is definitely grounds for using condoms, but it definitely isn’t the only ground. How about the late nights, the changing of diapers, the cost of diapers, and the lack of “me time”? Waking up in the middle of the night to take care of a crying baby is definitely not the ideal way to spend the night, especially when you have school the next morning, you’ve gotten hardly any sleep and you’ve exhausted all ideas as to what is wrong with the baby. And the diapers, they have a way of taking on the most unpleasant odors. Not only that, but the cost is outrageous. And the icing on the cake would have to be the inability to simply enjoy life. Life sort of gets put on hold when you have another life to think about that comes before your own. But these unpleasant aspects are not mentioned when the issue of sex is being presented.
1+1 always equal 2, but sex isn’t basic math, it doesn’t always equal a baby. Sex can equate to many different things, with STIs being one of them. But again this isn’t a message that is presented often enough. With this product, comes health issues and emotional ones as well, problems that could have been sidestepped all together if provided with right information and the use of a condom.
Spring Break 2010 and I am sitting at my computer blogging as my 14 month old daughter crawls all over me and demands my attention. My plans don’t include a trip to Florida, a weekend getaway to the beach, or a series of nights out with friends; rather it is filled with the stress of raising a 14 month old little girl that is filled with energy and ideas of how to get into trouble. The message- USE CONDOMS!!!
