A realistic view of early parenthood
As someone who has struggled with a colicky baby plus two other children I can totally relate. Tiredness can make you feel like you're in a dream world, you can drift off from what's happening. You feel guilty for sleeping when your baby is awake. If you don't sleep you're a zombie. Before the baby it's all about looking after you, then it's all about the baby. Grandmothers can make you feel inadequate no matter how hard you try. While it's uncomfortable to watch at times, it is not a bad movie. Women are expected to be naturally good at mothering and from the outside looking in it's easy to others to judge. All in all a great movie which will make mothers everywhere feel understood.
