Annoying Scene

The only annoying scene to me was deleted. What gets to me is in the spelling bee deleted scene when they're fighting causing Lydia to screw up in a way which didn't seem particularly realistic with how she misspelled the word in my opinion, is that they're arguing about the seat and all this nonsense when all Daniel needed to do was pick up Natalie and put her on his lap. Not a big deal? Am I right? LOL

I agree, I always thought Miranda was a huge b*tch in that scene, causing Daniel and the kids to lose TWO hours together. Especially since she could've easily done those run of the mill errands before picking them up. You just know she was doing it purely to spite Daniel and punish him as much as possible, who cares how the kids felt.

I think you are actually missing the point of the scene, even as much as you say it annoys you. But if you remember it is very early in the divorce, and it is quite clear that Miranda is mad with Daniel Hillard, and it seems clear to me but not you, that she wants to make as little trips to his house as possible. So say if she showed up early and left the kids there for the hour, and then came back and get them, and say that she dropped them off, that would be 3 trips to his house that I am sure that there is no way that she would want to make. And also if I am remembering correctly, she even says something to the point of to her kids, "don't forget anything I don't want to come back". Does what I am saying make it more clearer to you, and I would also bet it would be out of the question, of Daniel driving the kids back to her house after the visit was over. So what do you want her to do, spend an hour at his house when I am sure that is something that she doesn't want to do. And I am also remembering correctly that Daniel also points out to Miranda that she was an hour late dropping them off, and of course she is an hour early picking them up. So I would think that she wants Daniel to spend lesser time with his kids then appointed. I don't know what the hours that was set, all I know it was scheduled for every Saturday, and I know that it would be for more then 2 hours. And for the kids, for the older ones I think that they were smart enough to argue with their mother about even more time with their dad, as they would have known that she was already angry with Daniel, and they didn't want to make her anymore angry even with them.

'Does what I am saying make it more clearer to you'
not really, what you wrote is the biggest pile of crap i've ever read on here
also don't try and patronize me. i understand she's being a bitch perfectly well thank you. you seem to want to defend her when i am more inclined to defend daniel who was being denied time with his kids and the kids being denied time with their father because she was hellbent on being a childish spiteful bitch. DROP THE KIDS OFF AT CORRECT TIME, GO DO THE ERRANDS, GO FOR A COFFEE OR SOMETHING IF YOU HAVE TIME TO KILL COME BACK AND PICK THEM UP AT THE CORRECT TIME. HOW DIFFICULT IS THAT? -

Why would she have to make three trips to his house?- Drop off kids at his house
- Do errands
- Pick up kids at his house
That's two trips to his house. Simple.

It's because baby mama's are real bitches when dealing with the father of their children. Sometimes these women will go OUT of their way and make it harder on themselves just to ensure that the father spends less time with the children.

These days Daniel could protest easily to the court and with the fact that he had the apartment and job, Miranda would have gotten a talk to about not holding up her end of the bargain especially when Daniel had already slam dunked the judge' send of the bargain in one week.

Her character is an unreasonable modern woman, and she dictates terms in their marriage and in his rights, (just as it often is in real life.) The children are not very rebellious at any time, so I thought it made sense that they didn't act out here, caught between their two parents.

OP: Because Miranda was a petty bitch.
Daniel was lazy & clueless, no doubt at allI probably would have divorced him too.
But the way she took away custody of the kids, and acted like he was abusive or something was sadistic.
Daniel loved his kids & the custody arrangement never needed to even enter court.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush. -

I thought that was weird too, but then I just figured that maybe Daniel's apartment was situated between Miranda's work and home, and that she needed to run those errands closer to home. In that case, it would just be easier to pick the kid's up first.
Or maybe she just didn't want the kids spending much time there. She did seem a bit overly concerned with their well-being when she arrived. -

Maybe it was quite a distance from her house to his apartment, and her errands were closer to home. She lives in a pretty swanky part of San Francisco and he probably lives across town in the low-rent district.
