The Other Letter by IKEA

[Ultralight]

What do kids want for Xmas? An interesting spin on the question...

that makes me want a "do-over"

Oh wow!

Well I worked at IKEA for 5 years and they would not even consider my pleas for on site childcare, so not so sure I am too impressed by IKEA telling me how to raise my kids.
The scheduling was brutal and not family friendly.

Unfortunately, businesses will say anything to get you to like them..........and buy more stuff from them.

I'm so glad my wife and I read "Your Money or Your Life" during the parental leave time we took after our daughter was born.

Can we pile on IKEA?

We just got one in STL. The level of hysteria surrounding this place, in the years leading up to it and now The Opening, is embarrassing to me. I HATE IKEA's upholstered furniture, it is fugly and cheap looking. Some of their cabinetry is ok, I would take it if it were my style. I do like their in-store demos of tiny spaces such as the 480 sq foot house, the 650 sq foot house, etc.

But in the end, it's a lot of hoopla over cheap crap made in China.

Why does it sound like they are speaking French in that video? Is it because they ARE speaking French? I expected Swedish. I am confused. I am not good with languages, enlighten me.

Perhaps we should remember how superior the Swedish society is, even given their their high percentage of unmarried parents, in taking care of children and family. I'm sure your experience was just an aberration.

kidding.

I do not like IKEA and I try not to shop there, which is quite easy. haha

But I did like the message in the video.

It's the kind of French that they speak in Spain :-)
