And there it was. The hideous thing that divided
the two kinds of women there were in the world
that Rachel lived in. The working mothers
and the stay-at-home mothers. Rachel knew the truth,
which was that the culture was so condescending
to stay-at-home mothers that we allowed them the
fiction that being a mother was the hardest job
in the world. Well, it wasn't. Having an actual job
and being a mother is the hardest job
in the world. You don't have to say it.
It's obvious. It was two full-time jobs.
It's just math. Keeping track of your kids
from afar is not easier. Entrusting them to a stranger
is not easier. Nothing makes it easier.
That's what Rachel knew. But you know
what she also knew?

Movie Summary
Toby Fleishman knew what to expect when he and his wife of almost 15 years separated: weekends and every other holiday with the kids, some residual bitterness, and the occasional moment of tension in their co-parenting negotiations.
