Men's gender expectation is to be a drone at work and women's expectation is to be a drone at home....so these movies are related?

This sums it up better than I did. I was mostly being sexist, though. But the way it showed her deeply unsatisfied with her life as a stay at home mom, and the conclusion was to just stop doing it… It reminded me of Office Space.

To your second paragraph, I totally agreed that the third act felt rushed. But it also bothered me how 2 dimensional the husband character was. Like the only way they could convey how difficult it was to give up your career to be a stay at home mom was by making the husband the actual worst. I think this took away from the commentary.
