When I first started watching this show, I didn’t like it particularly. It was just one more - nothing new. It was entertaining, though. It is a funny way of showing all the struggles you had after becoming a mother. I mean, that mum’s class… it’s a (hilarious) nightmare. I can tell you by experience.
Yet, if you get through the first season, you may find it more interesting in the next ones. From my perspective, it improves when it stops being all about the babies. It's about managing all aspects of your life instead.
Life doesn’t give a break
When a baby is born, it is hard. It is hard because life doesn’t stop because you had a baby. The world keeps moving, and things keep happening around you while you’re tired and just want to sleep.
We all doubt if we are good mothers if we are doing the best for our kids. There is no way to avoid them. Yet, life keeps happening, our work, our little choices, in which we also have doubts sometimes. It’s overwhelming.
What’s the place of your husband, your friends, your job… yourself? This show gives us a good picture of how hard it is to reconcile everything and how hard it is to do and be everything. Yes, if you’re thinking about watching a comedy, be prepared for some very dramatic moments as well.
It doesn’t get easier
Throughout the show, kids grow, and new challenges arise. It doesn’t get better; actually, it may be the exact opposite. The problems don’t end when the kids grow up, they become different, and many times, worst to deal with.
This last season had a great focus on Alice, and I really loved it. It focuses on the nowadays problems that kids face. Issues that didn’t exist when we were teens, which make it extra hard for the parents to deal with. Being a teenager’s mother is scary! Did you think taking care of a baby was difficult? Think again!
More, please
After having some doubts while watching the first season, I ended up loving the show. I totally recommend it.
It had a beautiful end that left me wanting more.
