That's exactly how it seems that newly married oldest Jones daughter Shirley Deane seems to feel. She is a rather self-centered character who, upon finding out that they are in financial trouble because of husband Russell Gleason's failing flower shop, makes changes in their living situation that will give her the lifestyle that she believes she deserves. It turns the Jones family upside down, and he gets into trouble trying to meet his wife's expectations. Obviously she doesn't take after her mother and seems to have her father's flighty method of quick thinking that gets her into trouble.
Adding to the trouble is Byington's visiting brother, Alan Dinehart, who is responsible for Gleason's financial woes after he tries to help him get out of trouble. The characterizations here seem rushed and the situations forced and cliched. A weak script and an unpleasant heroine doesn't help here get any sympathy. It's obvious how this is going to turn out even though a lot of the situations building up to that are hard to swallow, making a reunions between the couple not really desirable after Deane's first dozen tantrums. Dinehart doesn't help the situation at all by playing an entirely reprehensible character.
