1. How long was Elly standing there, holding out the rake in a way that would cause intense muscle fatigue within minutes? Think of all the actually productive things she could have done instead of waiting on the off-chance that her daughter attempted to sneak out of the house and pass by. For example, rake the leaves. Or, ask her daughter to do it.
2. Everyone expects you to "cook dinner" (open a can and toss the contents into a pot) because the other people in the house are a full-time dentist who pays all the bills and actual children. I wish I had a dime for every time Elly acted under the conviction that she lived in a group home with four equals who shared everything (except the bills; Elly wanted to believe she contributed without ever doing anything that would allow her to contribute.) For the 4000th time, Elly- this is what you bought into, because this is what you wanted. You are a trophy wife and a mother. John isn't at his office ranting about how he's expected to take care of patients without the help of his wife

1) Probably long enough for people to point and laugh at the crazy idiot that dentist married again.
2) Elly is incapable of understanding that children are not put on the Earth to make her life easier. It's why she eventually decides it's a horrible idea to let April have any sort of social life at all because, as a child, she will do what children do and cause a catastrophe.

Elly has no idea what she wants to do. She could want to do something for school but when she thinks about Liz, all Elly sees is someone to do chores
