How many times have advertisers portrayed the wife as a stern mommy figure, keeping everyone in line, and the husband as essentially another child who can't be expected to eat right/clean up after himself/be responsible/be an adult?

Oh, those men. Just like children! Guess it's okay for their wives to essentially be their mommies, right? Isn't that why they get married? So their wives can continue the mothering?

I am so sick of this stereotype.
