Did not like how they portrayed the couple. So many guy vs girl media things (movies, book, TV, etc.) try to pray the guy as wrong and this is no different. They try to portray the husband as some kind of organizational Nazi since he is super neat and would like the house to be cleaner. Meanwhile, his wife is portrayed as a more relaxed type who wants to let the kids be kids. Apparently this means never folding laundry, or even putting it into the proper bedrooms. Instead there are baskets of clean laundry in the master bedroom and the kids come to get their clothes. I'm a slob but even I put my clean clothes away. The kids also have tubs of things sitting out in their rooms and she says it's because there isn't room in the closet but when Marcus opens the closet, it's empty except for a bunch of unused hangers. While they did some cutesy, couples therapy type activities, I don't feel the show ever addressed the real issue of why the wife thinks giving the kids any responsibility is so bad and I bet, in a year's time, we'll find she is no longer using all the new organizational systems the show put in.
