Breeders explores the paradox that every parent knows but never admits: you would willingly die for your children, but quite often you also want to kill them.Paul and Ally are juggling full-time careers, aging parents, a mortgage, upheavals in their relationship and the unenviable curveballs of parenting their young children, Luke and Ava. When Ally's estranged father Michael appears on their doorstep, the family essentially takes on a third child — but this one comes with baggage and opinions. Paul's own parents, Jackie and Jim, are on hand to help out, but their generation does parenting a little differently…
The kids are growing up fast -- Ava is now 10 and Luke is about to turn 13, and with their burgeoning independence comes the question of whether Paul and Ally's parenting style still works.
