==Plot==
After SpongeBob wins a dirt bike, Patrick and Pearl decide to take it out for a ride and accidentally destroy it. After getting chewed out, Pearl suggests they simply buy another bike which sets off another argument about not appreciating the work that goes into taking care of the house. Sandy suggests the kids and them switch roles for a week to see just how tough each other has it which is eagerly agreed to by everyone.
Patrick successfully takes over SpongeBob's job and Pearl breezes through Sandy's housework. Although SpongeBob and Sandy's first day goes well, they quickly succumb in their new role as high school outcasts. When Patrick arrives home for the evening, SpongeBob and Sandy agree to throw in the towel and ask to return things to the way they should be. Pearl is agreeable but Patrick is unable as SpongeBob was fired due to Patrick being successful at the job and becomes the sole earner to the gang. Despite Sandy's objections that he needs to return to school, Patrick points out that he likes his new adult role and refuses to give up. Squidward suggests letting him continue until SpongeBob can land another job.
Patrick's success at the brewery leads to increased responsibilities and he takes up drinking to cope. After snapping at the gang during their needs for money, Patrick completely melts down and has a heart attack. When he recovers, Patrick is finally willing to concede that adults have it just as tough as the kids and Sandy admits that having a strong gang helps. SpongeBob tells of getting his old job back. Dr. Forrest finishes by asking what happens after the screen goes black at the end of the episode.
