Tachibana Family

Jo heads down to Piedmont, Oklahoma to enter a hostile Tachibana household. Nate (32) and Gwen (30) have their hands full with their kids: Blake (5), Jaden (4) and Lydia (2 1/2). Lydia has an upcoming birthday in a few days, and she is very well-behaved, but her brothers aren't. Blake and Jaden have their stay-at-home mom running in circles as their blatant behaviors. Blake screeches at the top of his lungs, swears, vandalizes things, headbutts and refuses to clean up the messes he makes. Jaden has a terribly violent temper; he grabs other people's hair, hits, kicks, slaps, pinches and screams. What's even worse, Dinnertime is like feeding time at the zoo as the boys act like wild animals, screaming, running around. Blake is a very picky eater who will "vomit" if he does not like the food Gwen cooks for him. And everytime cake Gwen, who is a cake baking champion at the state fair, bakes a birthday cake for Lydia, the boys smash it and eat it all up prior to the day of her birthday party. Can Jo tame these wild boys or will everything end in disaster?
