Premise

The series follows the day-to-day lives of Mia and Rozonno McGhee, along with their household, as they balance life between their six children, marriage and a family business. The McGhees own and operate a carpet and upholstery cleaning business in their hometown of Columbus, Ohio. [3] The couple, who met while in high school, both come from deprived backgrounds; they both suffered emotional abuse and physical neglect. Rozonno grew up without any contact from his father and with a drug-addicted mother. When Mia was a teenager, her mother threw her out of the family home, forcing the girl to drop out of school to support herself. The McGhees were married for 10 years and suffered several failed pregnancies before they were able to become parents. [4]
