It’s been three decades (!!!) since 'Mrs. Doubtfire' came out, and rewatching it now casts Sally Field's mom in an entirely new light.

as a kid and thinking, "Wow, the dad is so fun and cool, and the mom is so uptight and grouchy." But perspective is a funny thing — it’s amazing, and that couldn’t be more evident than in the case of Sally Field’s portrayal of the mom in this belovedcame out, so I recently decided to watch it again. And as a mom now, I actually empathize with Field's character, Miranda, more than ever.

He throws a house party for his son and brings a petting zoo INTO their house. When Miranda rushes home after hearing about the party from a neighbor, the police are out front and the house is a disaster. This is just one of many situations when his childish behavior makes everything harder for Miranda.While a sense of humor in a partner is great, not being able to talk through relationship issues brings its own problems.

Another example: When Chris and Daniel's daughter Lydia inadvertently find out Mrs. Doubtfire is their dad in disguise, Daniel makes them promise not to tell Miranda. In both situations, Daniel is making his kids oppose the mom.I completely understand how hard it must be for Daniel when he sees how quickly his ex-wife is starting to date someone else. But that said, he tries to sabotage Miranda's relationship with Stu in a savage way while he's disguised as Mrs. Doubtfire.
