Motherland revolves around a number of mothers who all try to deal with the difficulties surrounding motherhood in their own way. Amanda is a true leader. She is organized, likes cleanliness and is strict. Liz, on the other hand, is chaotic and believes that children should be able to express themselves in whatever way they can. Julia is an event manager, but when her mother doesn't want to help her with the kids anymore, she has to organize things at home too. Then there's Kevin, the stay-at-home dad, whose attitude the ladies are quite disturbed by.
