Real Families: The Truth About Dads on Duty

Mums take a well earned break and leave dad in charge of the house and baby.

Becoming a parent is one of the most exciting and rewarding challenges that we can face in life.
It is also one of the most difficult things that we may ever have to do.
After nine months of waiting and wondering, a group of first-time mothers and fathers are bringing their new-born babies home, and are about to learn just what it means to be a parent. Through sleepless nights and strained relationships, breastfeeding woes and post-natal depression, we will see the dramatic contrast between what our new parents were expecting from parenthood, and the reality of life with a new baby to care for. Following a diverse range of parents, one as young as 16 herself, we see how different people cope with the challenges and stresses of raising a child, and how those moments of joy and overwhelming love can make it all worth it.
