Great film

Found this on netflix and I do recommend this movie to pretty much everyone specially moms and dads to be. Shows moms perspectives. Dad/Husbands(who are the bread makers), need to realize we do understand your tired, but we are also tired too. We do just about as much as you do. Cook (chef),Clean house(maid), Laundry (dry cleaner), take care of the kid(s) 24/7(teacher, childcare, live in nanny), Driver (chauffeur), serve dinner(waitress). If you think about it we don't get paid.

I agree with you and with the second poster, this film is really great, very simple and it shows us the reality of parenthood from every perspective. I am a mother of three and I can relate to Babs, the mom. I felt so helpless after the birth of my second child, a girl, I was overwhelmed and so happy altogether. I didn't get help from anybody in my family and had to stop working to take care of my two young children, a boy and a girl. Later I had an other son and I didn't get back to work (I was an attorney) but, even if the choice was tough, I could afford it and I don't regret anything at all. I had so many memories with my children even if we didn't have a lot of money with only one salary. Now, they are grown ups and we are still very close. I would do the same thing in a heartbeat if I had to do it again. Babs situation is very common and unfortunately some couples don't survive the birth of a child. The mom feels lonely and the dad feels neglected, sometimes he can even be jealous of the baby. It's difficult, life is made of lots of concessions from everyone and many efforts as well. A marriage (or union) needs a personal investment and dialogue and that's not easy at all. Too many people chose the easy way out and it's such a sad thing especially for the kids. I think tat people give up too easily and that there are too many divorces, but of course a divorce is still better than a couple fighting all the time or worse... All that is very complicated indeed. The main goal is the happiness of our little ones but it passes through our own happiness: if we are unhappy our kids are unhappy too, it's unavoidable.
