I think it's a perfectly fine commercial.
You guys are reading entirely too much into it. The wife agreed to watch the kids, but she shrugged the responsibility off to the much-willing grandma who doesn't get to see her grandkids enough (and is especially lonely after grandpa had his heart attack).
The family comically all ends up at TGI Fridays.
It's not about the "wife having to watch the kids," or "wife can't hang out with her friends." Just good natured "hey... weren't you supposed to be watching the kids tonight?"
Good commercial.
