​

We’ve got the balance all wrong. Instead of living with our partners, struggling to do everything by ourselves and only seeing each other now and then, we should do it the other way round. We should live together and see them now and then.

 

Erica knows her suggestion’s extreme, but when her nanny leaves without any notice, she’s extremely desperate. Polly and Louise aren’t convinced, but when circumstances force them to move in together into Polly’s enormous but run-down house, they have to admit that life’s much easier when the childcare and work is shared.

 

At first, communal living seems like the answer to all their prayers - rotas for cleaning, childcare on tap and always someone available to cook dinner (no more last-minute pizza delivery!). But over time, resentment starts to grow as they judge each other’s parenting styles and bicker over cleaning, cooking and whose turn it is to buy toilet rolls.

 

And as one has her head turned by a handsome colleague, one resorts to spying on her husband and another fights to keep a dark secret, they need each other more than ever. But can Polly, Louise and Erica keep their friendship and relationships strong? Or will their perfect mumtopia fall apart?
