History Series / IHateMyTeenageDaughter

** Matt and Gary both deeply care about their daughters and loves them very much as their exes. They even try to be friendly with their exes, despite their different parenting styles.

* ParentalObliviousness: None of the girls' fathers have any clue of how to help their exes of raising their daughters right.

The series followed two mothers who fear their daughters are turning into the kind of girls who tormented them in high school. The fears would come quickly when Annie Watson ([[MyNameIsEarl Jamie Pressly]]), who grew up in an ultra-strict conservative family, begins to notice that she has allowed her daughter (Kristi Lauren) to do what she wants to do, which she takes advantage of by embarrassing and mocking her mother, while her best friend Nikki Miller ([[{{Wonderfalls}} Katie Finneran]]), who grew up unpopular and overweight and has reinvented herself as a SouthernBelle, begins to notice how manipulative her daughter Mackenzie (Aisha Dee) has become. Even the ex-husbands are not good fathers: Annie's ex Matt is too clueless, prompting his lawyer brother Jack ([[DesperateHousewives Kevin Rahm]]) to step in (and become an object of Annie's crush) while Nikki's ex Gary is letting their complicated relationship become more complicated in the parenting department, These situations are among the major challenges Annie and Nikki must face to keep their daughters from turning into the people they were afraid of when they were their daughters' age.
