Total opposite message to Parenthood (1989) another Steve Martin movie

In here, the message seems to be (the usual liberal BS):
- kids can't be asked to adapt/sacrifice/cope with anything, for they're like shattered glass (one touch and they break)
- parents MUST forsake any and all career aspirations for the sake of the family, especially the father (can't ask that to the mother, that would be anti feminist).
- money issues are no big deal, and can be ignored or will work themselves out with enough "love"

While Parenthood (1989), had a starkly different and (in my opinion) ACCURATE message:
- there's no such thing as a perfect parent (as Gill clearly demonstrates)
- all kids have one or another issue, for no amount of love and protection can spare them of the real world or their own parent's neurosis and emotional/mental hangups.
- parents look down upon as "neglectful" for being working all the time usually end up raising the better kids (the patriarch, Gill's father, ended up with great successful kids except for Larry the black sheep, and we all saw how wise his solution was to Larry's problem in the end and how he ultimately stepped up to raise Cool).
- working parents usually have no choice but to spend few time with their kids due to the hard reality that love don't pay the bills and the bacon won't bring itself home.

I prefer Parenthood.
