A comedy about two young couples and their outrageously contrasting views on parenting. Greg and Kim Warner struggle on a daily basis to become perfect at the job. Kim is a neurotic, stay-at-home mother, and although her husband, Greg, is a success in his career, his more difficult job is keeping his wife calm as they raise their two young children. While Kim is determined to be the perfect mother and perfect wife and to raise the perfect children, her sister, Christine Hughes, a very down-to-earth mother of two, continually reminds her that life will never be perfect. Christine's husband, Jimmy, often feels compelled to share with his brother-in-law his philosophy about being a husband and a parent while still remaining a man.




Greg and Kim live in their own home in California. Christine and Jimmy live in a nearby apartment. Jimmy talks Greg into allowing Kim and Christine to have a day without the children; he and Greg take the children. to a casino.
Greg is surprised to find out that Kim is still breast feeding Sammy even though he is one year old. Greg says it is okay to breast feed for the health, but Kim says it is for another reason.

Five year old Sammy has a girl friend. Kim arranges a play date for them. It is not so much fun when Claire and Logan start to play together. Greg & Kim try to make Sammy seem more attractive to Claire again. The competition is on!
Jimmy feels tired, sweaty, and uninterested in sex. His doctor tells him he has male menopause. Jimmy gets some antibiotics and feels less than a man.
Logan learns to read before Sammy. While Greg & Kim worry, Jimmy & Christine each feel they are responsible for his delay. When they watched Sammy when he was young, they were not always careful and Sammy's head got bumped a few times.
Greg goes with Kim, Christine, and Jimmy to their high school reunion. Greg gets mistaken for a cool kid that attended the school; he enjoys the popularity. Jimmy gets jealous because he was always the coolest kid in school.
Greg loses another assistant at the studio, so as Christine finishes up at college, she gets the job as Greg's assistant. Christine quickly finds out why all the assistants quit ... Kim expects them to do jobs for her as well as Greg.
