Among the individuals featured in the [Tylenol Pain Reliever’s] “For What Matters Most” video series is the Beser Carr Schneider Musich family, a mixed unit that is comprised of a four parents, including a lesbian couple, the ex-husband of one of those women and another individual.
The two-minute clip, which offers a modernized, re-imagination of Norman Rockwell’s famed “Freedom From Want” painting, describes how the Beser Carr Schneider Musich family formed, while also showing the four adults and their children seated together around the Thanksgiving table.
“[My husband] and I were married for 10 years. We’ve known each other since we were 12,” one of the mothers proclaims in the clip. “When we divorced we had Cole and Elias and we decided that they should never be divided between the households.”
Her partner then explains that the two women met while the husband and wife were separated and began dating with the husband’s blessing. After the divorce, the lesbian couple, the ex-husband and another adult essentially became a mixed family that tries to parent together.
