Jenna Losie is a stressed-out single mom with two young children and a job, who has recently separated from husband Matt Carnegie. Matt and Jenna could never agree on parenting issues when they were together, and it's not getting any easier now that they've split. Matt's like a big kid, and likes to have a good time, but as far as Jenna's concerned, he's not much of a parent. Matt wants the kids to visit him more often at his new home in Kelowna, B.C., which is four hours from their home. But Matt's general immaturity and irresponsibility makes Jenna hesitant about this. She doesn't have a comfort level with his parenting skills and doesn't feel he's working in tandem with her to impart consistent parenting messages to their daughter Chloe, 6, and son Reese, 18 months. Jenna needs Matt to step up to the plate and show that he can be a real parent. A lot is at stake this weekend, as Matt becomes the 48-hour crash test mommy to his two kids.
