It’s Day Nine of the Fundraiser and Blog-in-Review extravaganza. Today I thought we’d focus on children.
Here’s what Matt Weiner said about Bobby Draper:
RL: I’m hoping that now that she’s confronted the real liar in the family, that maybe she can ease up on that kid.
MW: She can ease up on that kid, but you know, here’s the other thing, what is the character of that kid? You can’t just make it all her. He may be a kid who, he already doesn’t need her that much, and that may frustrate her, her whole life. He says no. He does kid stuff like lying and she’s decided he’s a liar.
RL: Right, right. Yeah, and he does lie, We’ve seen it.
MW: Of course, why wouldn’t he? He’s a little boy I love the fact that he’s not some TV kid, he’s not the perfect kid, and he’s not just a victim. He has a personality, and you can see as he walked into the hotel room and he punches Don.
I was a little disturbed by Sally’s knock-knock joke. Some of you agreed with me and some did not. It was an interesting discussion.
Because childcare is so different today, I researched the whole dry cleaner bag issue, and found an interesting and surprising answer.
Here Roberta takes issue with Betty for wanting to create memories for children. A nice bit of rumination at the holidays.
I am pretty sure that we should be giving them happy childhoods so that they can be happy people, and not just due to the parts they remember. I am pretty sure that doing right by our children involves giving them a happy family (if one is available), not just a portrait of one.
But I know what you’re thinking: Where’s my present? Well I wouldn’t let you down!
Your very own Future Crane Baby Bonnet!
