The story does mention some issues worthy of discussion, such as a woman whose ultimate goal is to marry, have a child, be a wife, and be a mother. When her "dream" eventually breaks down, she will encounter difficulties due to lack of choice, such as whether she "must" take care of the family wholeheartedly after becoming a mother. . But the director seems to confuse "the negligence of the family and children caused by busy career" and "the lack of responsibility caused by no sense of responsibility at all". The male protagonist’s sentence "It's your job to love them." doesn’t sound like comforting words. In his context, this sentence is true, but from Ricki’s point of view, it secretly binds women to their parents. Together. The final conclusion reflects how boring the middle class really is.
