Books, media, therapists, strangers, the mob, will all tell you that family is everything. Olive Garden runs their business model on family. Blood is thicker than water, technically true. When you freeze them both, you make ice, and kill the blood cells. You aren't supposed to turn your back on family, blood is blood, nothing is unforgivable. As horrible as we can be to our family, they're family. That's your aunt Phillis, it doesn't matter she's a little racist. That's your uncle Hank, so what, he's gotten buzzed and groped a girl that wasn't his wife. Your cousin Conner on trial for murder? That's family, you stick by him.
When the woes of parenthood are thrust onto Warren Carver in a series of unfortunate events, he leans on his younger sister and closest friends in navigating the world of child care. It's more than doctor's appointments and waffles for breakfast. It's family court, children's counseling, sleepless nights, panic attacks, groceries forgotten, hookups with a stranger, bloody laundry, and family.

AN: There are depictions of family court and certain legal actions I myself have limited knowledge of. Some depictions of family court, custody battling, petitioning for guardianship may come off ultimately inaccurate, but I'll be so for real. I did the research with the resources google provides (for free) so if you hear something and you're like, 'That actually isn't how that works' then adjust your fucking bifocals and give me a break. Thank yew, kisses
