About Before the Kids Wake Up

Claude and Renee get together before their kids wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee or a cocktail (depending on the time of day). They discuss the joys and perils of parenting a hyperactive child and a moody teenager while navigating the trials of being a middle-class interracial family in today's complicated society.
