Also a guilty pleasure and also saddened by the gender role stereotypes. Born 40 years before their kids and thankful my mom was much more progressive and I didn’t feel so pidgeon-holed and oppressed. Yes, I agree there are nuances in that Joanna is the business minded brains but when that is strongly countered repeatedly by an underlying message of boys do this (grrrr) and girls do this (ooo, soft and fuzzy) and it is 2018 or so...cmon. I grew up more progressively in the 1960s.
