It's weird because I'm always a bit worried about offending people, but I always feel so much better about myself when I speak up.

I watched this last night and just sobbed when it ended (might have been pregnancy hormones, but also I felt really really bad for that poor sad woman!) and couldn't understand why so many people have been posting it. I'd say more but I think you really said everything I wanted to say in your amazing post. Is there any chance you'd mind if I share this on facebook? Because I really do feel like we need to speak up and say something about this, and you said this all so well!

"Men are that they might have joy," not be unhappy with your life because you put everyone else first.

I didn't like her giving the sugar cereal (and also, do very many people make breakfast for their kids? Toast yes, but scrambled eggs were for when I has a big test or something). AND. Where was the husband? I wish the had mentioned or explained why there wasn't one! I wondered about that the whole time. I am glad she watched the girl. And the dinner was an okay thing (though if she realized it wasn't cooked she should have done pizza). But I was really really sad that she didn't get to see her cousin.

Then people will looked totally shocked for maybe 60 seconds--and then they will ask the next person. So say no when it is right for you, not when you have been driven to the end of your rope.<br /><br />In a church setting, a woman Ralph home taught was pregnant and was driving home in her small car when she was hit by a school bus. She was not seriously injured, but was kept in the hospital for a few days as a precaution, while the ward (mostly me) helped out with her little boy. For the next couple of months I got a call at least once a week asking me to tend her child or drive her some place. The compassionate service leader always said, "I just don't know who else to call," so I would be 'guilted' into doing it. I have her son for 24 hours straight when the baby was born. And this was only a month before your dear husband made his appearance. So when the compassionate service leader called to ask if I could keep him for the next day as well, I finally said, "No, I'm exhausted. There has to be someone else in the entire ward who can watch this kid." At that point she said, "I just don't know who else to call. I guess I'll have to look in the ward directory."<br /><br />Arghh. I thought she meant that no one else was willing to help, not that she couldn't think of anyone else to telephone, so she called me first every single time. So the lesson there was that I should have asked two months before, "Well, who else have you tried?" So I try to always remember that.LauraNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430726624955782958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975533536399135450.post-20102733203673242662014-09-19T09:17:33.670-07:002014-09-19T09:17:33.670-07:00I agree with you 100% I kind of hate that the und...I agree with you 100% I kind of hate that the underlying message for this movie is to always put others first. Ordering a pizza was my first thought on that dinner- like really, when you're already late why would you START cooking? This made me so sad to watch- so yeah, I'm glad you posted this.Ashley Hinckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13918069166268162191noreply@blogger.com
