Linda, a career-driven mother, struggled to balance her work and family life. Her husband, Darren, resented her ambition and the strain it put on their marriage, believing a woman’s place was at home. After years of tension, Linda and Darren decided to divorce. Linda’s career was her priority, but she soon realized she was missing her family. She hired a nanny, Joyce, to help care for her son, Max, but felt increasingly lonely and disconnected.
One night, after Max lost a tooth, Linda was shocked to find money under his pillow. She assumed it was Darren, but when she confronted him, he denied it. After installing an alarm system, Linda discovered that it was actually Hollie, her daughter, who had left the money. Hollie explained that she wanted to give Max the happy childhood she never had, due to Linda’s focus on work.
Linda was deeply hurt by her daughter’s words and realized her neglect had caused a rift between her and her children. Determined to be a better mother, Linda threw Hollie a birthday party and promised to change. With time, Linda and Darren reconciled, and she decided to quit her job to become a stay-at-home mom. Eventually, they remarried, with Hollie as the flower girl and Max as the best man, finally putting family above everything else.
