I don't know about you, but after N goes to bed, sometime my husband and I just want to relax with a movie or a little T.V. before moving on to other pursuits. We've enjoyed some quality parent-themed entertainment in the last year, so here's a quick rundown.
What to Expect When You're Expecting (film)
Hilarious. Whoever gave it the luke-warm ratings on Rotten Tomatoes probably didn't just have a baby. From the wildly funny Saturday Daddy's Group scenes to the make-you-think-about-your-compromising style commentary ("why don't you just make all the decisions about our baby and then e-mail me"), this is a great watch for new parents.
Raising Hope (T.V. series)
Though it's only loosely about raising a child, the interspersed scenes of baby Hope crawling between furniture in the garage and getting stuck, hanging out in her high chair and watching her crazy family, and being convinced to sleep only by her father getting in her crib with her, will keep any sleep-deprived new parent giggling.
Parenthood (T.V. series)
No babies in this one, but it's nice to see a huge range of families getting on with the business of being families. Whether you identify with the stay-at-home dad, the busy working mom, the parents with children dating or the parent who wasn't expecting to be one, this is a great series.
