Now I know what Madison Avenue really thinks of me, and it's not pretty. I am the target audience for household cleaning products, and they are using New Age bands from my youth to lure me in. Yes, it's true that, as a mother of two, I spend more time cleaning my house than I ever thought I would. But there's more to growing up in the '70s and '80s--and raising children in the '00s and '10s--than could ever be captured by a 30-second ad.
Sandra Shelley is a freelance writer and mother of two. She was born in Toronto, grew up in Houston, and now lives in Virginia.
