Deanna Zastre has a hard time living up to her husband Vince's expectations. After all, his own mother, Francine, raised 12 kids and kept the house clean and quiet, so why can't Deanna? From Vince's point of view Deanna only has three kids to parent - a daughter, Breanne, 11, from a previous relationship, Autumn 2, and Sheldon, 1. O yeah, and she runs a busy daycare business out of their home. But how hard can that be? Piece of cake, he thinks, and he wants to take charge for 48 hours to prove it. Deanne wants Vince to be her crash test mommy for entirely different, and more important, reasons than just making him understand why the house isn't always spotless. She wants him to get more involved in their family life. Instead of retreating for a nap, she'd like him to participate more wholeheartedly in the parenting duties at home. She feels he needs to bond with their children, especially Breanne, as she enters the difficult adolescent years. Can Vince keep the house in top condition for 48 hours? And will he come to understand that the most important thing is to be there for his family?
