But everything has its limit, and Julie feels her family have reached theirs. Although she loves how close their family is, she doesn't love their long working hours, the clutter overwhelming their home, or the little time she has with her husband.

They are the 21st Century Partridge Family -- but poor old Dad just doesn't fit in.
