yuck as a child whose parents both did this .its the children who end up wounded because ppl dont stay commited to a marriage and stop loving their spouse
Not all children, two people that don't get along or fall out of love are not good for the children, crying like a baby for the rest of your life needs to be questioned ?, maybe it's something deeper with the child.
Selfish. Fast fwd from that era to 2024. God and family chucked out in favor of live in boyfriend. Words fail me except to say the children were forced unnecessarily to testify in public courtroom.
I'm Glad this had a Happy Ending with Mom married to a good Man who adores her & the Children, and she actually loves him but was afraid to remarry at first. The kids adore him as well and prefer to be with their Mom. Dad was heartless, vindictive, and religiously biased. It is a better example for the kids to not just shack up with someone, BUT that's Not to be used as an Excuse to try to take Children away. Glad all ended well.
The dad was not heartless, because he agreed to her keeping the kids if she married her live-in lover. For that same reason, neither was he vindictive. He said earlier on that he wouldn't try to gain custody of the kids if she re-married. The dad was no more religiously biased than the mother was biased in favour of her own immoral beliefs.
Now that was an exceptional ending. She said she loved her kids, however she's thinking about her rights rather than what was right and moral for the whole bunch. Her rights were not right expressed in front of her children. If marriage wasn't exceptable, than living together should not have been exceptable morally either. Do what is right all around. Never allow your children to be exposed to what you believe is right for you, when there not old enough to decide what is acceptable to them. To choose wrongly is to choose wrongly for your children. I think her boyfriend should have considered the girls also when deciding to move in. Do what's morally right everytime always and all goes well everytime. And if the mother wasn't selfish she would not have put her girls to war against the dad, or expose them to the court system. Swallow our pride and concentrate on others-centered, not self centeredness.😊🤔
Unpopular opinion: If you’re living with a man, why don’t you just marry him? What is the point of playing house, and you’re not ready to make that type of commitment? You don’t believe in marriage, yet you’re playing like you are and risking losing your children, in the process? I, myself do not desire marriage. I absolutely don’t want to share a space with a man. I don’t see the point in living with a man, who wants to marry you, if your goal isn’t marriage. Take your kids and move out. The father is not wrong for not wanting his kids to be involved with her antics. He’s not driven by jealousy, when he clearly asked her to just marry the man she’s living with. I’m not saying she’s wrong for moving how she wants…but what is the point? 😒

You either ignore the rules set forth in the Bible or you obey them. The rules will not change over time. Sex outside of marriage is a sin according to God's laws. If you want to sin you can, but don't think it will be fine with the Lord.
That woman lawyer really got on my nerves. She acted so unconcerned about the moral values of the children, which is present day, but had the hairdo of a woman from the 1890's.
That father has every right to expect the the best morals for his children.she is only thinking of herself and so sick of women that think the kids belong to just them
So sick of religious cranks who think their morals are the only ones that matter, and that children are clay with no personality of their own who can be molded in the father's own ego. Both the dad and the grandad were interested only in their own self image.

Im not a prude by any means. But if there are children involved living together is wrong. She really doesnt deserve this this great boyfriend. If she loved him she would marry him. Most women would jump at the chance. Shes nuts
She stated her reasons. She explained to her boyfriend why if you were actually paying attention! It's 2024 for God's sake! What an old fashioned point of view! You sound like you're describing yourself in your last sentence!
The kids Father can't force his religion on the mom or force her to live the way he lives she is an unbeliever and doesn't serve God so he cannot expect her to do the same now to the believers no moving in together and no sex or kids before marriage see the difference
Indeed. She has choices. But it's such a shame that today we are so loose with our morals that we DON'T think it's a problem to invite new people into our homes with our children before we are married.
It's hard to believe that a made-for-TV movie was created for this! Quasi-religious, quasi-secular humanistic, social development... disguised as entertainment. It's a barely-disguised pill.
And the children and their mother and boyfriend seem to be very happy and they are a good couple.

She is a fool moving a man in her home and only been divorced for 2 years, woo no way would i give up my freedom/ peace

This is a good movie deliberating moral before the court.
I really enjoyed being a housewife , I got to stay home and raise my sons , some women aren’t cut out for motherhood.,
Some women aren't cut out to be 'trad' wives is more like it!
If the boy friend cared he would not moved in
Hi from Germany,great movie !!!!! Thank you
Well made tv movie with a good performance from Lithgow who played a very similar character in Footloose
I don't know how many cases I've seen of "Mom's boyfriend" hurting her children.
what does that have to do with the price of eggs?
Both r selfish and the mom is only wanting Her way . Not the greatest eg to unsuring her daughters dont have sex at 16 yrs 4 eg
If there is no love, then it’s a tinkling cymbal. If there is no moral, then it’s evil and no good.
stop trying to force your 'morals' on others. you are not God and you are not perfect
OK. I have to put it out there:
Was there only *ONE* Themesong in the 1980s and was just passed it around from Movie to Movie ❓❓❓❓❓❓
Yes! Dont you wish you owned the copyrights and were receiving the royalties?!!
@artcflowers
Yeah.. No kidding...I swear it is the *SAME* tune
And the children and their mother and boyfriend seem to be very happy and they are a good couple. I’m so happy and rejoice that they got married.
She was playing sue Ellen ewing on Dallas.
❤❤❤
These actors were in don’t tell mom the baby sitters dead
Awesome ending wow an I knew it. They r gettn married. Hallelujah and they didn’t want to live with her father.

@@irenemorley75Good point. For the record there is solid evidence God doesn’t exist.

What a bunch of self righteous people in these comments. Judge yourself!
Didn't you just judge them? We all need to make judgements every day. HOW we judge is according to our moral compass.
Disappointing after her great role in Dallas to this
trash. great movie
She was great as Suellen Ewing...Lots of fire. Disappointing here.

The father is pushing his morals onto everyone else. For some reason religious nuts always think they have the right to do this.

Very true
Started before the election and still they voted for their rights to be revoked….🤔😡
Oh really? Wrong again

The only nasty piece of work i see here is you, Carol, dog-talking women for making an intelligent choices.

Back then, people took marriage and morals a lot more seriously.
