“Every movie goes through that U-shape where you start with 'Oh that's a great idea. I love it.'

Do they work weekends so they can afford to send their kids to better childcare...even though it means even less time with their families? Do they take another shift at work, so they can pay for piano lessons for their kids...even though it means they have to stop volunteering for the PTA?
