Kathleen McKamey's life is chaos. Holding down a part-time job, while parenting three active boys ranging in age from six to twelve, will do that to you. And especially when her husband, Dustin, is more like a fourth child than a partner sharing the parenting responsibilities. Kathleen desperately needs Dustin to turn off the video games when he gets home from his long hours working on a tugboat to lend her a hand with the chores and spend more quality time with his boys. The future of their marriage and of their family depends on Dustin understanding this and changing his ways. Dustin thinks Kathleen is exaggerating how difficult it is to parent the kids and his wife should just try to mellow out about it. He agrees to be crash test mommy to prove that, with dad at the ship's wheel, this weekend's parenting will be a cakewalk. For her part, Kathleen fears it'll be a gong show...but desperately hopes that, from it, Dustin will get a crash course in maturity and grow up. As he embarks on his 48 hour journey in his wife's shoes, he's about to discover just how much of a cakewalk motherhood can be.
