Mommy is responsible for coziness, and taking care of everything, including cooking, cleaning, laundry, kids and, sometimes, her husband. While Daddy once being at home usually eats, relaxes, watches TV or passionately plays computer games.
For the Family to win the cash prize, Daddy has to replace Mommy, who will go for a one-week vacation and do everything she has always dreamt about, but never had time for (i.e. she may parachute out, or scuba dive… or just sleep all day long).
Daddy will stay home with children. He will spend the first day doing things, which, as he’s sure, his wife usually does – i.e. practically doing nothing. On the next day he will discover her actual schedule and the list of her daily duties. The Daddy’s challenge is to scrupulously follow the schedule by performing all parental and household duties, as well as certain tasks set by his wife without outside help.
In case Daddy uses his opportunity to call Mommy or to ask for extra help from friends or relatives, every hint will diminish the sum of the prize. If Daddy properly copes with all tasks without using the opportunity to call Mommy back ahead of time and using extra help, the family will win the cash prize.
