Christine Neufeld knows her husband Norm has a demanding, stressful job as an undercover cop, but his long hours and lengthy absences are straining their marriage and making Norm a stranger in his own home. Christine feels their two young children, four year-old Kaleb and 18 month Adam, deserve better. And it gets worse. Norm doesn't respect Christine's job as full-time mom, thinking it's nothing compared to the nasty world he finds himself in every day. Things have to change in the Neufeld home if this marriage, and this family, are going to survive. Norm agrees to be crash test mommy and dives headlong into the task. He'll certainly feel the heat, but will he gain respect for Christine and her job as caregiver? Christine feels their marriage needs this mutual respect and that Norm needs to learn to make family a priority in his life. This very real family story plays out for our cameras in the 48 hours of Crash Test Mommy.
