Why do relatives do that?
20 January 2023
I had heard about John Hughes's "She's Having a Baby" for years but only now got around to seeing it. This lighthearted story of a couple's journey from marriage to parenthood is nothing special, but the performances make it work.

One scene that stands out is when the parents are visiting and start pestering the recently married couple about having children. Sure seems like parents do that a lot, whether or not a couple even wants to have children. The US has actually seen a baby bust over the past decade due to the lack of well-paying jobs, concerns about adding to the strain on resources, and the coronavirus.

Anyway, it's worth seeing. In addition to Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern, the cast includes Alec Baldwin (now charged with involuntary manslaughter due to an accidental shooting on the set of a movie last year) and Holland Taylor (currently in a relationship with Sarah Paulson).

So yes, apron strings, what do the men on the chain gang sound like?
