mommy's not here is she i like mommy you like mommy do you like you don't like daddy though you like daddy as well didn't you just break mates sounds like ian's had a hectic day and he looked shattered bedtime was difficult for him if you and your partner take it in turns to put the kids to bed make sure you stick to the same routine don't encourage children to play off one parent against the other across town brother-in-law steve has finally got around to some of the chores this is boring but he's yet to tackle the biggest challenge of all the washing machine oh that's easy in it no putting the softener in the pre-wash drawer 40 degrees yeah mine working there you go right sitting but he's turn the machine off again why have 15 lines when you don't need them press the other button turned it off no he's found the button yay that must be it i must have cracked the code no yes excitement can i just ask why did he do it like that the washing's finally on but it looks like steve's other half i spent on upsetting his plans for a quiet evening could you please make the kids pasta and vegetables for supper i want to introduce this to their diet love cars [Laughter] you're always going on at me that they don't eat healthy enough so hey here's his chance to put his mighty words into action what do you think of pasta and vegetables for tea so steve soldier's on whom it tastes better 20 minutes later dinner is ready [Music] an hour it's gone cold um i'm not happy nice try steve but it's back to the drawing board he still seems like a waste of food that's all that's what i say you're not doing your teeth ah yeah yeah i know i've got two days up there i know how long is this one then is this a long story so after a long first day has steve changed his mind on being a stay at home yeah no i've always had respect for my wife she does always work out just not as hard as me what steve was very keen to introduce the children to healthier food but he failed changing a child's diet takes time you need to start with a tiny amount and then build up gradually a whole plate of something unfamiliar just doesn't work it's ian's second day and his only task is to get nine-year-old jake to his afternoon horse riding lesson which means he can enjoy a leisurely morning at home all right put them on [Music] oh great one see that's what it's normally like at home i don't know if my wife has the same uh thing every single day but she does i do feel a bit sorry for her and now it looks like someone else is getting themselves in the skin go away loose go for it and things are about to get worse box come here come on [Applause] come on lucy's now getting pathetic absolutely 15 minutes later ian thinks the park might be the answer rip [Music] all right everybody out there guys should keep me time for a little while to make it a little bit easier for me so we shall see come on bubs let's go and have a look ian's turning things around lucy do you want to go on a swing yeah well it's great in it and they're enjoying themselves don't cause you any stress and uh it is good yeah it's right there looks like you spoke too soon oh god here we go come on jake no don't start punching jake that's really silly in him come on you never kick jake because you know you don't do that put you in your cup oh god here we go boredom you'd have hurt yourself in there yeah i don't hurt you drake but i am just going to get you out of there you wonder why jake i get the um win you then go out and you do this tantrum over but ian's completely forgotten about jake's horse riding lesson which starts in five minutes hopefully we should be able to find all the uh his horse riding stuff pretty quick i hope right then come on in guys let's get going yeah that's a good find you ever been late with mummy no no right okay wasn't the answer i was really looking forward i do endeavour to always be early if i'm late i'm late that's all there is to it hurry up counting boys let's keep on going i think i'm running up a hill they've got never been coming boys so ian got to the lesson [Music] to get to my eyes i don't think i'm going to actually make any sort of uh chefs nervous on my chopping abilities right after an hour sleeving in the kitchen ian's prepared a special bolognese sauce for the kids right do you want some sauce no i think i'll be eating quite a bit while it's things you don't want no sauce in it no no now you know mummy was nicer you've not even tried it going in guys up to wooden hill i can't wait for mommy to come back you can't it's hard gary it's not physically it's more mentally because you're always thinking what you've got to do and how you got to do it what you've got to do next you know what are these up to you know when you're outside or you're trying to do something and you always worry not in back head you know they're not going to turn around and jake's going to throw himself off the top of the climbing frame or lucy's going to fall off the wall or you know there's all them sort of things i suppose there is a lot more involved in i thought today ian's had a taste of just how hectic running a household can be and i think he's beginning to understand that forward planning is key children hate to be late for special activities plan to be early and get them there on time across town fun-loving steve has begun his second day and he's got a long list of chores to do this is the first now i never ever do this oh we go then there we go looks reasonably straightforward the only time we'd use the hoover would be and the rare occasionally hoover's out the car reason it has to go that way why isn't it going in she's breaking the internet that should go in there that should go in there i should go in there does anyone actually get any pleasure from irony i'd much rather be outside with the boys than doing her chores i've got them admit so he'll be getting stuck in it lily maybe not it's all very well but what would your wife be doing i probably would have hoovered dusted clean kitchen i probably would have cleaned the bathroom in the louvre by now this is fun look at you looks great fun hard work this was great fun so he's taking up some bird at the park where's mum today she's got a feet up at a health spa oh very nice yeah she uh she's told me she deserves it she does i think yeah thank you [Music] it's dinner time and due to lack of demand steve's healthy option is off the menu i know i put some cream on i know i've put some creamer and then it's bedtime but not everyone's happy with that idea [Music] [Music] i think he's slowly realizing that um the children aren't all fun all of the time i can understand why caroline would be tired and can i understand why caroline's grumpy that's more to do with me probably today steve put having fun first and doing the chores second he also abandoned the healthy eating challenge which is a mistake because if you're going to change something in the way that your kids eat you have to stick to it that way the kids know you in business coming up steve goes too far so we cheat daddy's got me trifled as our brother-in-law's host a joint party for all six children do you think i'm doing nothing i'm just doing everything sophie's been playing fair two hard-working stay at home cheers i do hope my house is clean when i get home i doubt it i'm probably going to have to get to cleaning company [Music] it's the final day and bright spark ian has found a way of stopping his kids from going off the rails ian's never actually entertained his children so this is quite nice to see actually doing something constructive with them while the kids are amused ian sneakily got them dressed saving a repeat of the last two day shenanigans that was less stressful on it i know mummy said we've got to clean the house top to bottom but you didn't so i got to do it all by myself did she now we've got backups here which ones are using while the kids are playing through the housework our sisters on strike have come up with a plan to make their partner's lives a little more interesting and charlotte's husband ian is the first to find out what it is [Music] there's a party tonight you are doing savoury for the kid party buffet don't forget balloons and put lucy's hair in plaits great one should we have a let's see what i can find see if we have got anything we can use right uh no party food what i'm gonna do when we get there boys better get back to the shops then leave it there harry come on jake please because lucy is getting wet come on right you're sitting here for two minutes jake all right can you hold my hand balloons there you go balloons you've got a sort of script save on the balloon no we're gonna add the other ones we've gotta think of money here harry this situation needs a female to take care you gotta know harry i know dear lucy's gone guys [Music] [Music] lucy across town brother-in-law steve is unaware of the plans for tonight's get-together what are your teeth last night was a little bit of a challenge he had us up all night steve might be tired but he's still able to lay on a gourmet breakfast of processed chicken perhaps it's time to tell him about tonight's big party you're out on suites i must make something from scratch there we go so mr sweet must have loads of ideas let's go do some shopping any ideas what you'd like have you any idea what i could do for sweets for a children's party should we ring on colleen up and see if he thinks he's a good ideas well i'm doing i'm

daddy's got me trifle you don't want me to cheat my daughter's too honest for her own good all right then so we have to make things let's go around here to the bakery section come on we always need a backup always need a backup chose these buying ingredients for a tripod and six coffee apples just as a backup of course [Music] the old cookery teacher be delighted with me sure there was another measuring job somewhere ah eureka it's nearly time for the joint party and steve's trifle seems to be measuring up nicely but does he know how long it takes to set i haven't got a clue keep going you can't cover up that one steve hey over in the savory camp ian's pushed for time the party starts in 15 minutes and he still hasn't platted little lucy's hair come on get lucia balloon a balloon just give her a boom to hold you can see in his face he's looking let's find her dummy throw out i think i might go and wash her hair because you've got too much stuff in it isn't it it's too late uncle steve's here someone's been saved by the bell come on let's go girlie come on don't go down the stairs are you doing excellent mate so you think i'm doing nothing am i doing everything i don't think he's been playing fair oh harry wet nephew stopped by the neck oh lovely [Music] how much have you done to what i've done then we've been to the hospital been shopping also we've been horse riding

professionally made steve ah it's been conveniently left in the car you never tied it all up i think i might leave with my two boys you be good girl give me a case i'll see you later steve and his trifle have left the building but how does he think it all went i've loved being with my kids all the time i've been with them but it's been very very hard today and for savory supremo ian there's

meanwhile steve's tackled pouring rain he has managed what we've asked him to do and the children and they seem very happy that's amazing there's a few things not quite the way i do but the main thing is you're happy yeah yes both dads and they were brothers-in-law kept the rules so well done for that steve's mission was to get a handle on the housework and he tried but he preferred to play ian's task was to win over the kits we always knew he could do the house work he kept his temper and gave it his best shot and that makes him my dad of the day [Music] wow sydney to ian missinger dad of the
