Family Versus Career | |
| Baby Boom (1987) / int_dce6cd15 | comment |
Family Versus Career: The main theme of the movie is J.C. having to constantly balance this choice. At first she puts career over family, but when her boss gives her job to her protégé with the excuse that she'll be able to spend more time with her new baby, an outraged J.C. quits and tries to devote herself entirely to Elizabeth. When that becomes overly stressful and lonely, she then tries to negotiate her way back to a job in Manhattan, only to realize in the end that she's capable of balancing family and career just fine. | |

Children Raise You | |
| Baby Boom (1987) / int_eb6ed797 | comment |
Children Raise You: The baby was left behind by a very distant, European relative that J.C. hardly even remembered. J.C., a yuppie, initially is focused only on her careers and has no interest in having children, but eventually grows attached to Elizabeth, the baby, forcing her to re-evaluate her priorities, so she decides to become a working parent and to raise Elizabeth herself. | |
