In reply to the discussion: Dad taking his daughter to watch the Barbie movie is legend! [View all]KentuckyWoman
(6,891 posts)44. We have a local Mom raising 5 boys alone.
She apparently has a special hate for American football, but it turned out all 4 of her boys love it. So she did what Moms do ... she learned all the rules to the point she is one of the coaches for her community leagues - and apparently pretty good at it.
They did an article on her in the local paper. It started something. First they added a spot in the paper every week to highlight parents doing what parents do. Now it is a whole "good news" section that highlights all kinds of people being good people.
I can understand why someone might look at this Barbie story in a negative way, but not me. Especially given the current climate, the more the better.

This is a 'feel good' video, and I choose to honor it in that manner, and not add any negativity
