Is Hope for real?!!

Oh my god. I watched the first episode and why is Hope acting like having one baby is that hard that she can't cook a meal or do anything? I had my son at 18, went back to work a month later, and came home to clean and cook. I also managed to take my son with me to hang out with friends. Babies don't make that much of a mess that she would have to say in the episode that she cleaned the kitchen 5 times. This show is dumb. I'm trying out the second episode but don't know if I am going to continue watching it. I hope Hope gets better and less witchy. I feel bad for her husband. Why couldn't they have sex just because the baby was starting to cry?! Babies don't need picked up every time they make a sound lol.

I think Hope and Michael (in the first few episodes, if not season) are supposed to represent the type of spoiled kids who were more or less pampered by their parents most of their lives (through university, etc), and become whiny whenever they have to deal with any adult responsibilities.

I've heard/read the same from many Millennials today (young adults that are roughly the same age that 'Janey' would be now) who write/post/blog online about their issues 'adulting' or whatever they call being responsible post university.
