[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who found Rebecca to be self-centered and unlikeable? She wasn't forced to have kids. What man or woman who isn't already famous takes off on the road to sing while having kids at home and a spouse working full-time? It's not like she is military and had to go for work. She seems to have zero empathy for the fact while she works hard in the home, he works hard outside the home and he has made plenty of sacrifices. I have been married 15 years and did not relate to the fight at all. We hashed this stuff out BEFORE kids and made adjustments after. Yes, we still had to have a lot of negotiating, but we went into parenthood wanted to be very present parents so we had similar goals.[/quote]

I see what you're saying and agree somewhat.  On the other hand, she had spent 15 years at home, taking care of everyone's needs, being a present mom and wife.  She finally had an opportunity to do something she had always yearned to do, and she decided to take it.  The tour wasn't supposed to be more than a couple of months long (I think?) and their kids were old enough to be ok temporarily with just their dad.  I thought it was great that she had decided to do it.  I've been a SAHM for about the same amount of time and feel incredibly fortunate to have had this opportunity; I wouldn't trade it for the world, and I'm sure she wouldn't have either.  But I don't see anything wrong with her jumping at the chance to do something [i]for her [/i]for the first time in a very long time.[/quote]
