Meet the Alpha Mums, headed by Amanda, very much the queen bee. Everything is organised, clean and sparkly — even the kitchen cork board is a statement of success. At the other end of the spectrum, we meet Liz, who is totally chaotic and feels the kids should enjoy free expression; if they want to do kamikaze jumps off the sofa, she drags a mattress round for safety. Somewhere between Amanda and Liz is Julia, a successful events organiser. But when her mother Marion decides she is no longer going to be the free child-sitter and school-run taxi, Julia finds her organisation skills are taxed and nowhere near the level of the Alpha Mums. Also in the mix is Kevin, the stay-at-home dad, who, rather than fighting against that, is embracing it with gusto — much to the irritation of the other mums.

Julia es una madre trabajadora que trata de lidiar con las demandas de sus hijos, su exmarido y su trabajo. Amanda se cree una madre perfecta, mientras que Kevin es un padre a tiempo completo. Completa este grupo heterogéneo Liz, una madre soltera.

Ohne die Hilfe ihrer Hippie-Mutter Marion oder ihres Ex-Ehemanns Paul versucht die gestresste Julia, in einer von der dominanten Amanda geleiteten Kinderbetreuungsgruppe mitzumachen, aber es endet damit, dass sie sich um die Brut der liebenswürdigen, aber chaotischen Liz kümmert. Schließlich werden Julia und Liz von Amandas Clique abgelehnt und beschließen, mit dem schüchternen Hausmann Kevin ihre eigene Gruppe zu gründen.
