34 year old David is an incredibly hardworking and patient father who would do anything for his two daughters and his husband Luke. But step father Luke, a self-confessed "gay Gemma Collins" is more than happy for David to take on all the responsibilities, admitting that he doesn't do much beyond singing and dancing with the girls... despite his lack of involvement when it comes to cooking and the housework, Luke is desperate to have another child with David. However, David has his doubts about this and needs Luke to prove to him that he's willing to share the load and take on more responsibility around the house.
While on strike Dave learnt that he needs to possibly be less soft on Luke, and that he shouldn't take no for an answer. Luke learnt that he can't afford to lose the family and stable gay relationship that he always wanted… but can they work through their challenges?
Stuart and Nikki had a whirlwind romance - they got married within 5 months of knowing each other and had their first baby before their first anniversary! 16 years later they are still going strong and share their lives with three kids.
Stuart, who works with fire prevention services, and Nikki, who is a teacher in training, both constantly bicker about who does more around the house. Even though he confesses that he doesn't know how to use the washing machine, a lot of the housework falls on Stuart's shoulders.
Nikki, on the other hand, doesn't deny that he does a lot around the house, but she feels like she does more than he gives her credit for - she will change the sheets, do the laundry and the hoovering! But the truth is, Nikki gets some help from her secret weapons - the kids. She puts them to work to help her tackle her to do list

She's desperate for more time to herself and whilst Carl gets to go out for his regular haircuts and coffees with the lads, she's been missing out.Just days into Karla's strike, Carl is already at breaking point as he tries to take on some of his partner's duties. The constant "Dad!" "Dad!" "Dad!" drives him up the wall and the kids survive almost exclusively on a diet of pizza. However, with some encouragement from a friend and some time to reflect, both parties realise things at home have to change, if there is to be any chance of wedding bells.In a different household, Sarah is a hardworking, full-time mother and full-time content creator who does all the hard graft at home.

She even manages to rustle up a late breakfast for husband Kwaku when he nips home from his job as a care worker.But Kwaku believes the housework is mainly Sarah's responsibility as she is a woman and therefore the "homemaker". He feels cultural reasons are why the dynamic is at it is, just like his Mum did all the work at home so he expects this from his wife. He even starts to compare the two women in his life, which doesn't go down well. However, after being left alone at home with the kids, and some sleepless nights, he soon realises that perhaps things may need to change if his ambitious wife is also going to have a chance at fulfilling her dreams
