Because Mommy Works

About This Movie

Because Mommy Works is one of those TV movies that explores the complexities of family dynamics post-divorce. It’s not just about Abbey and Willie; it digs into the emotional landscape of shared custody and the adjustments that come when new partners enter the picture.

The performances, particularly from the leads, bring a genuine warmth to the story, even when the themes of jealousy and insecurity creep in.
