Children Ruin Everything

I think the lack of a laugh track has thrown off some folks who've given this a low rating. It's funny and slightly over the top 🤣 The actors have great chemistry both romantic and comedic.

Love the it's actually set in Toronto with nods to things in the area. Looking forward to seeing where this story goes from here.

For those who don't have a stick up their bottom about how perfect they and their kids are, you'll love this show!

For those whose reviews were insultingly bragging about how perfect they and their kids were, wait for the therapy bill when they get older, and be prepared to probably die alone, while they resent you for never letting them behave like children when they were children? And maybe pull the stick out a little since it is only a television show?

Hubby and I loved this show and how lighthearted it was! It didn't take itself too seriously, cover a lot of relatable topics, and, despite what some of the reviews say, does give some comparison to different parenting styles as well as opinions on having children at all.

This show is great for the whole family and shows what children can really be like unlike tv shows where the family is perfect. I do feel sorry for the people who rated it only 1 star as something is really missing from their lives as they don't seem to find joy in anything.

This show is like a bad train wreck you want to look away but you can't. They are horrible parents with horrible kids.

Misbehaved kids are not cute or funny.

Then they decided to add to their madness by having another kid. Which is crazy because their lives were already out of control.

Whoever is writing this script needs help. I beg to differ this is not reality, I had a kid and worked as a matter of fact most of my friends and family members have kid(s) and worked not one of us had as many problems as this characters.

All of our kids turned out great and were never as horrible as the kids portrayed in this series.

I'm not crazy about sitcoms, I'm not crazy about kids, and I'm definitely not crazy about sitcoms about kids. Furthermore, the first review - a 10/10 - posted before the show even aired, and that's never a good sign. But it turns out this show is actually pretty funny.

The premise is a simple one - a couple approaching 40 with two kids trying to figure out if having kids is really worth the sacrifice. The stay-at-home mom has an opportunity to return to work, but she is getting seduced over to the dark side (aka having a third kid) by every adorable baby she sees. Meanwhile, the two she already has could be poster children for Ritalin, and dad wouldn't mind going back to being a two-income family. Real-world issues served up in a very funny way.

The downside is it's super-woke. The parents are always banging on about gender stereotyping, etc., and validating each other's feelings, all the marriages/relationships are interracial, and there are very few white actors. It's all done in a funny way, but I am still wondering if this show is set in some other part of the world...

Bottom line - i'm watching again, and if a sitcom about kids can win me over, it has to be good. ;-)
