The busy mother of two young children, Kalub, 5, and Lavender, 4, juggles full-time parenting with running a yoga business, where she teaches 8-10 classes a week. Joel, however, is never satisfied with the job she does as a mom, and is full of criticism about her supposed shortcomings and a ton of advice on how she could improve. He believes that, compared to his own job as a construction foreman, this parenting business is a breeze. But Joel's high expectations are stressing Jen out big time, and this marriage may crash and burn if husband and wife don't come to a better and happier understanding, one in which Jen feels respected and appreciated, rather than belittled and demeaned. Along with learning to respect the job his wife is doing, Joel also needs himself to see the light, and get beyond his 'accomplish and conquer' warrior philosophy to discover the essence of good parenting. Will the next 48 hours open Joel's eyes to his wife's qualities as a mom? And will he be able to learn that parenting isn't just about keeping the house clean and efficient scheduling, but about relaxing, enjoying and making what Jen calls 'a heart connection' with his kids and their friends?
