The stories dive into the many ups and downs of being a child in a broken home - more broken than I first realized. When the parents split, the child (usually) pays a steep price as their time with with both parents is gone and now their lives are compartmentalized with weekends with one parent - in this case, it is most weekends spent with dad. While the child craves the time with dad, the Saturday's and Sunday's are less than stellar and many times providing cringeworthy glimpses at life with a less-than-perfect father as harsh life lessons play out. However, all time together is not so bad as they find humor and some fun while one of the pair grows up.
