    I actually enjoyed this

    I know its not artsy, its a typical rom com tv show.

    Its not the best in the world like friends, but its watchable and fun.

    The little girl is funny as well.

    Funny Relief for a 2023 Parent

    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)

    So much fun to watch!

    For those who don't have a stick up their bottom about how perfect they and their kids are, you'll love this show!

    For those whose reviews were insultingly bragging about how perfect they and their kids were, wait for the therapy bill when they get older, and be prepared to probably die alone, while they resent you for never letting them behave like children when they were children? And maybe pull the stick out a little since it is only a television show?

    Hubby and I loved this show and how lighthearted it was! It didn't take itself too seriously, cover a lot of relatable topics, and, despite what some of the reviews say, does give some comparison to different parenting styles as well as opinions on having children at all.

    Very funny

    I think the lack of a laugh track has thrown off some folks who've given this a low rating. It's funny and slightly over the top 🤣 The actors have great chemistry both romantic and comedic.

    Love the it's actually set in Toronto with nods to things in the area. Looking forward to seeing where this story goes from here.

    Good lighthearted show

    This show is great for the whole family and shows what children can really be like unlike tv shows where the family is perfect. I do feel sorry for the people who rated it only 1 star as something is really missing from their lives as they don't seem to find joy in anything.
