I think a few people got this movie in the wrong perspective, first of all she didn't have 11 children, some were their own and some were adopted. The Father is just a workaholic (you could put the Dad in the military and the same scenario could be played out) sometimes Dad's need to travel in order to support their family. Yes, they need their Dad but sometimes that is the way life goes.
I can relate to the days when I was taking care of 4 kids in 3 different states while my husband was obliged to travel for his job. Its the way life is sometimes; instead of acting like its a desertion you focus on giving the kids their emotional support and keep on going. I had a stay at home Dad and quite frankly I don't think it was as happy even though he was a good guy.
Linda Lavin plays a women who prefers a supportive stay at home husband and finds out she can do it on her own. Its good to know you can do things on your own and I am happy it happened to me too.
The only stupid part of the movie was her rocking the lamb to sleep that was rather bizarre. Otherwise it was a good movie.
