IF YOU’VE BEEN to the cinema recently, you’ve probably seen this ad for GloHealth insurance telling mother’s they’re ‘amazing’.
The clip is advertising the company’s GloDoc service, which provides members with 24-hour online consultation with a GP.
The ad has received quite a bit of backlash online from people who have one simple question: What about all the dads?
Whoops!

Others believe it reinforces the idea that woman are supposed to do the majority of the work of the household:
Though the ad specifically mentions mothers, GloHealth say they didn’t set out to celebrate one parent over another and have not received any formal complaints about it.
A spokesperson for the company told DailyEdge.ie that the ad is the first of what will be series centred around the ‘Are Amazing’ tagline:
A Dublin Senior Infants teacher gave the perfect David Bowie-themed homework last night>
Kildare just scored Ireland’s first ‘otter crossing’ sign>
