I do wonder if LW here is so relentlessly Happy Happy Looking On the Bright Side Pollyanna that it would turn the most naturally cheerful person into Eeyore? She is so much 'look at our wonderful life!' (I am reminded of that really, really creepy story 'It's a Good Life') that nobody is expected to express any negativity, ever. She is not so much 'the glass is not half-empty, it's half-full', as 'that glass is FULL, I tell you!'
