Electrician Dave Rafter and his wife Julie expected their house to feel empty and quiet as their children became adults. Although Ben is eager to move out, even when he gets his dream as his buddy, neighbor 'Carbo', starts minding his parents' house, Ben keeps raiding the fridge, dropping off laundry, and asking for advice and help. His sister Rachel is a hopeless screw-up in every sense, unable to finish anything. The youngest, Nathan, actually has a good real-estate agency job and a rich, devoted partner, but misfortune hits and they move back in with Nathan's parents.—KGF Vissers

A series that a lot of parents can relate to these days....

Interesting to see the situations and challenges the family face and how they cope with them. Excellent Australian series: great actors and believable characters.
