Exhausted from doing nearly all the parenting of her three kids, two by a former marriage and one by her twenty-six year-old fiancé Adam Billingsley; and worried because she's pregnant with a fourth child and doesn't think she can cope with both the kids and the new baby unless Adam gets more involved in helping out with the parenting responsibilities. Frustrated from numerous fruitless discussions with him about helping out at home, and desperate, she's drawn a line in the sand. Removing the engagement ring he gave her, she has called off their planned wedding unless he can prove to her that he's taking the parenting of their growing family seriously. Shanna convinces Adam, a demolitions expert on road construction crews, to be Crash Test Mommy for the next 48 hours in order to understand, first-hand, the demands and stresses she's under, in hopes that he'll finally realize he has to pitch in more. Being the solo parent of Shelbey, 7, Katanna, 5 and Indica, 15 months, is sure to be a rough two-day ride for this 'me first' addict of sugar, nicotine and online poker. As Adam dons the 26-pound "sympathy belly" he'll wear for the next two days, the burning question is: will the explosives expert 'get it' and show respect for his fiancée and kids by showing he can be a more active and responsible parent, or will he let his family life blow up by doing and learning nothing from the Crash Test Mommy experience?
