The Movie Mrs. Doubtfire

In the movie Mrs. Doubtfire, Daniel and Miranda get a divorce. Out of love and devotion towards his kids, Daniel decides to disguise himself as a women and become an English nanny named Mrs. Doubtfire. In order to portray Mrs. Doubtfire, Daniel learns how to cook and clean. Mrs. Doubtfire also gets stricter with the kids. When the kids refuse to go to their homework, she makes them do chores until they agree to. Also when Miranda gets a boyfriend, Mrs. Doubtfire goes to the pool and restaurant with them to spend time with the kids. When Daniel had the kids on a visit, Miranda was an hour late dropping his kids off and early picking him, it makes him angry and that action showed how much he valued his time with them. Even though Daniel is dressing as a women to spend time with his kids, that shows how much he loves them and cares about them.

Daniel's devotion and love towards his kids can be harmful. When Chris walked in on Mrs. Doubtfire going to the bathroom, Chris ran into Lydia's room and they both got scared. As soon as Daniel revealed himself, Chris and Lydia's reactions showed how surprised they were. Also in the restaurant when Daniel got revealed, his children were shocked. Him dressing as a women can scar his kids, because they will always remember that their father dressed as a women. Thus being the reason why Daniel's devotion can be harmful towards the kids.

This devotion can be helpful towards the kids. For example when parents get divorced, kids believe that there parents might not love them and think that their family will be different. With Daniel pretending to be a women, shows how much he loves his children. This devotion towards his kids showed how much he has changed. He became a more responsible father. Also Daniel dressing as a women showed how much he wanted to be with his kids. Those reasons are why Daniel's devotion and love towards his kids can be helpful.

If my parents ever got a divorced, I do not think my dad would dress as a women to spend time with my brothers and I. One reason is unlike the kids in the movie who are younger, my brothers and I are old than they are, so my dad got to see us grow up. Also with the technology that we have today, I could talk to my dad through the telephone, text, and even through the webcam. Also my dad works during the day so he would not be able to become a women nanny at nighttime. Also now that my brothers are older, one of my brothers lives in Texas, and the other has two jobs and is barely home, and I am always working or at dance or theater; so even my dad became a nanny, he wouldn't see my brothers and I because were never home.

If I could design a new dad, I know how I would design him. My dad is a serious person, although he has a sense of humor sometimes. I would make my new dad a little less serious and more relaxed. Another thing I would add to my new dad is making my dad a little less clean. I'm not saying
