[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, new perspective on Rebecca. She usually seems, mostly, happy. But maybe all of this killed her inside. All the weight and pressure of three kids the same age, and all so different,... She made it look easy/normal but she's the one who stays up at night worrying, or fulfilling perfection (as instilled by her mother as we've seen referenced a couple of times)...

If you think about it, we still don't know a lot about her. About her childhood family. Maybe there's some messed up crap she hides.[/quote]

I think Rebecca is just a normal mom. We all struggle the same ways she does; protecting our kids, constantly worrying that we are messing it all up, trying to be the perfect parent, debating if our choices are right for our kids. If anything I think this show shos how seeminly minor things are remembered by kids and sometimes taken the wrong way and have a huge impact on their lives.

I think they make her out to "have issues" for example the Kate flashbacks where she feels bad about her body because her mother is thin (episode where she grabbed a shirt for her and saw the size S) but she is just a typical mom trying to do what is best for her kids. i don't think she is trying to be hard on Kate and her weight, but unfortunately Kate takes it that way and that is really her issue. I get it because I have struggled with my weight and still remember how a simple comment from my mom when I was 10 had a huge impact on me. All she said was "maybe you should have water with dinner instead of milk" 30 yrs later and I still remember it [/quote]
