the many stories told in the show (Many based on the authors’ personal
experiences) are a mother chaperoning her autistic son’s first date, a gay man
describing the process by which he became a father, an untraditional mom
meeting up with to yuppie mothers in the park, a mother talking of her soldier
son in Afghanistan, a man moving in with his mother after his divorce, and two

are pieces on the first day of school, the delivery room, Thanksgiving family
gatherings, high school graduation, and the required parental advice on
