Review

I have always agreed that communication is a very important part of any relationship. It is apart of every day life’s and I have learned so much reading book.

Mia hates it when Hal started in on their lack of time together. He knew how busy she was, and acting like she was prioritizing everyone else over him was not fair. She didn’t know how to make him understand that the business and kids just needed her more, while he was fine to manage himself. It felt overly dramatic to her to say that they had no time together: it was just the reality of being busy working parents. He needed to just get over it.
