As Roberta, tired of managing the children and household, decides to go on a 10-day vacation, she transfers all the responsibilities onto her husband, who discovers that managing the household is far more difficult than being the breadwinner of the family.

With Roberta being absent, Fred has to tackle several kid problems and is close to facing a nervous breakdown. School schedules, meals, laundry, sibling disagreements and a series of unexpected mishaps turn his supposedly manageable routine into complete chaos.

However, it is when Brenda (Macla Tenorio) takes over as the caretaker that Fred does get a break from the emotional trauma in his house.
