Plot

Bob Peters (Paul Michael Glaser) works as a High School football coach while his wife Pat (Dee Wallace) is a stay-at-home mom. Now without any gain of support, Pat becomes restless after Bob wins the "Man of the Year Award".

After receiving his award, the school principal (David Doyle) asks if Pat would be interested in becoming the school's secretary for the summer, but Bob says no, believing that her place is in the home. After learning that Bob's summer driving instructor job has been cancelled, Pat rebels against Bob and takes the job. Bob bets Pat that being a full-time caregiver will be easy for him, but quickly realizes that it is more difficult than he thought. Meanwhile, Pat loves her job and getting to talk to other adults.

Bob has enough of housekeeping and storms out of the house after getting into a fight with Pat. After several calls trying to contact him, Pat turns on the TV and sees Bob apologizing about how hard it is to be a homemaker. Bob then gets the entire high school marching band to come down their street to honor Pat and all of the hard work she does.
