With the rising rate of stay-at-home dads, as well as recent controversies with Huggies and other baby products poking fun at the sometimes helpless fathers, Lifetime TV joins in the fun, as they conduct a little experiment with their show: “The Week the Women Went.”

The episodes focus around families in Yemassee, South Carolina, as wives left their husbands for a week to fend for the family on their own.

While some dads managed well, viewers were shocked to meet 4-year old Ellie Kate who demands her daily dose of morning coffee from her dad.
