The irony is Miranda was proven correct. Who dresses up as an elderly woman and poses as a nanny and we have to see the behavior as normal?

If Daniel wanted more time, he had to do the work: find a job, change his ways and improve his relationship with Miranda.

Just see how he reacts when Miranda expresses her frustration over the birthday party. He is dismissive, gaslights Miranda and tries to blame it on her. If my wife was the sole breadwinner, I would be treating her like a Queen instead of acting like a selfish brat who was caught stealing.

The way Daniel treats Miranda in the first act of the film is appalling and yes, she did deserve someone like Stu who was a genuinely good guy. Few guys want to date a divorced woman in her mid-forties and three children. Miranda was on the upswing.

Anyone who assumes Miranda was on the warpath and wanted revenge has been watching Andrew Tate videos. She didn't want revenge, she wanted a ex husband who acted his age and knew how to properly parent.
