[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really enjoy watching Hanks personal growth. Ray Romano is so good![/quote]

Yes, love Ray Romano in this role.  There's some depth there.

My prediction about the house sale is that the big money will help Zeke get enthusiastically on board-- so that he won't feel like he's making a sacrifice to make Camille happy-- but that Camille will back out at the last minute, realizing that she can get the adventure that she needs without selling the house.  It's like there are two sides to her, the mother/matriarch and the artist/adventurer.  She's spent the last 40+ years only inhabiting the mother/wife role and has ignored her inner artist.  She's a little resentful because she's currently viewing the mother role/wife role as one of sacrifice.  She wants to correct the imbalance and thinks selling the house will free them up to be more adventurous.  I think in this last episode, she's realizing that her plan to sell the house will actually just shift the imbalance in the other direction.  She's remembering what she's loved about that part of her life, now that it's about to slip away from her a bit.[/quote]

Her little martyr routine bugs me. If you didn't want to be a SAHM, you should have gone to work. Both are valid options. But don't live an inauthentic life and then blame your husband and kids.

Love the show too. Last episode totally brought me to tears. [/quote]

I don't think she is blaming her husband and kids. If you are talking about when she went off at Crosby, he deserved it. I think selling the house will give them the money they need to travel. I think she enjoyed her life as a SAHM but is ready to do some things for her self for once. It's not like she has a bunch if time left, she should be able to do what she wants. Her kids are in their 30's and 40's they need to grow up and let the house go. I mean unless one of them decide to buy it, it's going to be sold at some point.[/quote]
