Les Parent

Having three kids in school helps parents learn, too. In helping middle son Oli, Louis-Paul discovers that modern math is full of trick questions.

While the Parents brace themselves for the school year, Oli has a bout of teenage cynicism and questions why he needs to bother with classes at all.

Now that Thomas is 14 years old, Natalie and Lous-Paul could ask him to babysit. But can they trust him to manage his younger brothers' quarrels?

Natalie attempts to prepare a meal for four picky and opinionated boys. Can she get Thomas to come down when dinner is ready?

Louis thinks it would be good to keep Oli busy with a pet, but he's not sure that his son's choice is going to be accepted by everyone in the house.

Zak is old enough to walk the two blocks to school, but can he make his lunch before his parents get up?

Louis-Paul searches for words when Oli asks him to explain some difficult topics. Thomas goes to a school dance.

Can practical values coexist with a taste for luxury? The kids are stunned when they see an old photograph of Louis and Natalie with their Porsche.

Getting up for hockey practice at 5 a.m., Louis-Paul and Oli realize something important. Louis-Paul is happy to see that Thomas has strong beliefs.

It's time for the joyous holiday season and the magic of Christmas! Natalie and Louis-Paul assess the gifts they're going to give their three boys.
