Marriage can go wrong if both the spouses have a high-flying career. Is it so with Harry and Cyd?

Having a high-flying career sometimes may become a tangible problem for both the spouses. Daily routine and helter-skelter can make a marriage just a sham and make family itself inferior. Harry Silver is a TV producer, embarking on his second marriage Cyd, the nice American who was a waitress and launched her own catering business. Her business is thriving but Harry's career is going down the pan. Harry dotes on children and he wants to have a baby with his wife and puts it up to her. But Cyd have another plans. She doesnt want to give up her dazzling career. She wants to earn some money for her daughter. Harry dont mind her business to do well. He knows it is important to her. And he can see Cyd isn't like the mothers of Peggy's friends who had retired from high-powered careers to have children. His wife is doing it the other way around. And she is at least as smart as those other mothers. But he guesses it isn't just her catering business that staving off baby hunger. She have been worn out by Jim, and maybe she just wantes to give their marriage time to grow before adding any more complications.Anyway, making a career and having a family is a grave problem that should be mulled over, so both the spouses should be more understanding in order to hit it off.Did Harry really get on well with Peggy? What complicated their relations?Harry has become a stepfather to Cyd's daughter, Peggy, and a Sunday dad to his own son. Harry strives to develop a good rapport with Peggy as now they became one family. He have never raised a hand to Pat.But he couldn't even raise his voice to Peggy. Heve never rapped her.Step-parents - the ones who are trying their best - want to be liked. Parents - real parents - don't need to be liked. Because they know they are loved. Harry wants Peggy to relish her childhood. They are having fun and he even know what toys she likes. When Peggy got a stunning doll on her b-day, it was like a windfall. Peggys father Jim is not a dazzling parent, but his daughter still dotes on him, even when his behavior is insolent and overbearing. He visits Peggy rarely, despite of the fact that he can do it anytime. Harry had met Peggy before he met Cyd. Back then Peggy was just the little girl who looked after his son.Peggy looked after Pat in his early days at school, spent so much time with him that they sometimesseemed like brother and sister. That bond was fading now that their lives were increasingly separate,now that Pat had Bernie Cooper and Peggy had a best friend of her own sex who also loved Lucy Doll,but Peggy still felt like more than his stepdaughter. It felt like he had watched her grow up.
