Young couple Jon and Raquel Gelden have a strict approach to parenting. Their two boys, Tyson (seven) and Rhys (five), believe that if they are disciplined, it means they must try harder.
Jon works most evenings as a chef, with Raquel left in charge of the home and the kids.
Ronnie and Phil Browse's house is boisterous, and although they work as a team, they have no structure and no discipline for their seven kids. With no fixed time for tea or bed, two-year-old Jai is often up until midnight.
Ronnie is an independent businesswoman who works from home customising shoes and accessories. She's also spent thousands of pounds on her own looks, and the Browse girls love to preen too.
What happens when a disciplinarian dad has to live by a liberal mum's rules? Can a strict mum cope with daughters who don't have boundaries? And how does a husband react when he finds out what his wife really thinks of him?
