Chaos is a warm order

When parents love each other, they show each other their attitudes towards the family. They both want to have 8 children. The two hit it off and get married in an instant. Later, by chance, 12 children were born. It is the same as a Chinese family. After having children, there is no order in the family. But what impresses me most about foreign movies is that even if it is mixed arguments, quarrels, and blame, they will still show a basic position behind these-I love you very much. This movie, said to be a comedy, has no special plot, no particular amusing details. Strictly speaking, it is not a comedy, it is a mess of life, but even so messed up, Dad Baker I will still face it positively and strive to achieve a balance between work and life, dreams and reality. Efforts to love and take care of each child, although it is messy, it seems that except for the sensitive and introverted Mark, the other children seem to have no feelings of loss and inferiority, and they will still strive for their rights.

What really touched me, apart from the basic position of "I love you", is this proactive attitude towards life, whether it is a child or a parent.

In this movie, although my father is not tall, he is the perfect image of a father to me. When encountering difficulties and problems, parents and family members are always on the same front and support each other. Although there are misunderstandings, based on the position that I love you very much, these can be resolved.

Although I don't want to watch it a second time, it is a good show.

As a parent, you can take a look to gain strength.

Although order and certainty are our pursuit, chaos is the norm in our lives.
