Trama
Sherman and Joelle Young work opposite shifts at their jobs, with Dad watching the kids during the day while Mom works, and then handing them off to Mom before going to work at 4:30 p.m. They barely see each other six days a week. Well-behaved oldest child Dylan, 13, is often pressed into service as a babysitter or overshadowed by his siblings, Shermie, 5, and Shelby, 3, who are literally climbing the walls. Shermie is rambunctious, disrespectful, aggressive and hits his mother. During timeout, he'll run all the way out the door and up a tree, and Shelby is no better. She's apt to pull every book off the house's shelves when angered, eats dinner in front of the TV instead of with the family, and both tykes refuse to stay out of Dylan's room. Joelle copes by yelling a lot, which the kids ignore, and Dad has no idea how to engage with his children.
