Monroe Pritchett seemed to have one thing going right in her life. The fact that she was seemingly the only 'normal' one in her family. Her father was emotionally distant, her sister was a stressed woman who never had time for herself, and her brother was a control freak who was easily embarrassed.

That made Monroe feel proud of herself, she had no obvious quirks, and was considered normal by society's standards - she had a happy life, not only was she an elementary school teacher, she was happily married to a police officer and had a son.

And she was content, she wasn't as 'crazy' as the rest of her family. And to Monroe that's all that mattered.

Until she found her husband in bed with his co worker and her life flipped upside down. Overnight she became a mix of all of her family, emotionally distant and a stressed control freak

So when Monroe finally gets some free time to herself with her son starting middle school, she begins to try and regain the person she once was - something that Monroe found increasingly difficult once she was introduced to her sons science teacher.
