Such a refreshing little comedy with excellent actors. I am not a fan of comedy shows in this day & age however; I read the the cast & had to check it out. I'm so happy I did! My new favorite comedy series. Great job all around & except for the camera work. That's why I only gave it a 9. I look forward to the next episode.
I have been cracking up since I put this on, and my husband would be too had he not passed out next to me due to a lack of sleep from the kids 😂. Seriously feels like someone wrote this after observing our lives. I feel so seen and heard watching this, and it's such a relief that it's not just me that experiences life as a mom like this!
ALSO- So sad to read the cruel comments from people - being a parent is hard, and it's not the best approach to give a lecture to someone that's struggling when they really just need a hug. Are we the best parents? Absolutely not, but we ARE TRYING and we LOVE EACHOTHER and our KIDS and this sitcom truly captures what that looks like (for us imperfect, loving, non-judgy folk)

Hubby and I love the show however everything lisa codrington acts during the show makes me fast forward past her scene. Her overacting doesnt' match the rest of the show and throws the mojo off. I cant stand it. I am almost at the point of not watching anymore. It has become a real distraction. Not impressed with her. Take her out and put more focus on the family with a new boss lady! Lisa codrington is likely a great actress however, her over the top character doesn't do the show any justice. I love the new direction of how the show might end up. Loving all the other characters and new baby. Hope the management sees my opinion. I do love the show just without lisa.
This show is like a bad train wreck you want to look away but you can't. They are horrible parents with horrible kids.
Misbehaved kids are not cute or funny.
Then they decided to add to their madness by having another kid. Which is crazy because their lives were already out of control.
Whoever is writing this script needs help. I beg to differ this is not reality, I had a kid and worked as a matter of fact most of my friends and family members have kid(s) and worked not one of us had as many problems as this characters.
All of our kids turned out great and were never as horrible as the kids portrayed in this series.

I'm not crazy about sitcoms, I'm not crazy about kids, and I'm definitely not crazy about sitcoms about kids. Furthermore, the first review - a 10/10 - posted before the show even aired, and that's never a good sign. But it turns out this show is actually pretty funny.
The premise is a simple one - a couple approaching 40 with two kids trying to figure out if having kids is really worth the sacrifice. The stay-at-home mom has an opportunity to return to work, but she is getting seduced over to the dark side (aka having a third kid) by every adorable baby she sees. Meanwhile, the two she already has could be poster children for Ritalin, and dad wouldn't mind going back to being a two-income family. Real-world issues served up in a very funny way.
The downside is it's super-woke. The parents are always banging on about gender stereotyping, etc., and validating each other's feelings, all the marriages/relationships are interracial, and there are very few white actors. It's all done in a funny way, but I am still wondering if this show is set in some other part of the world...
Bottom line - i'm watching again, and if a sitcom about kids can win me over, it has to be good. ;-)
