Never wanting her son to ever leave her, Andrea visits a group of Bronx Italian moms – and their devoted adult sons - for lessons on bonding.

Andrea escapes to Woodstock to find balance in her chaotic life. She tries to find peace so that she doesn't transmit her neurosis to her son.

Andrea has trouble saying "no" to her 1 year old, so it's off to meet some West Indian mothers who teach her how to take charge.
