Teri Polo of the “Meet the Parents” franchise takes on a far more realistic parental management situation in “Relative Control,” a light dramedy about all the juggling that goes on when one’s parents, love life, career and adult but adrift kids pile on to put the “age” into “middle age.”

Screenwriter Charlene Davis serves up a collection of “Whoa, been THEREs” that will make you grin or cringe. And if you haven’t “been there,” take her and her characters’ advice. You will.

Polo plays Sara, a corporate mergers and acquisitions lawyer in The Incorporation State — Delaware. Fiftysomething, her career is about to hit a peak as a big client signs on to help her keep a predatory buy-and-strip concern from taking over their company.

But Sara’s the only child her aged parents (Patrick McDade and Alice Schaerer) can depend on. Their “favorite,” her sister, moved to Florida and checked out of parental care duty. Sara’s the one who has to endure her ex-police chief dad’s endless “emergency” calls about whatever “crisis” his beloved right wing TV “news” is hyping today. Increasingly forgetful Mom isn’t much help.

And then Dad buys that motorized easy chair which keeps putting him in the hospital. He didn’t read the instructions. Sara gets the dreaded “He’s going to need a lot more CARE” lecture from the medical professionals.

Her unemployed son (Ryan Saviano) fled to the West coast to try and launch a sports statistical analysis career. He and her aide at work (Nicholas Delany) could swap stories on what a “control freak” Sara is.

Not delegating work, dropping everything and dashing out of meetings to see about every “there’s immigrants at the BORDER” panic attack her old man has, trying to manage her kid and dodging the neglected personal life that the flirtatious ex-classmate doctor (Jeff Mark) offers to change — it’s all coming to a head.

The narrative is a collection of mini crisises — short meetings, “sabotage” at work, increasingly dire medical issues, son Eric flying back and forth cross country to help (On whose dime?), Sara’s own neglected health — any one of which will be recognizably triggering to anybody over 40.

The stakes may be too personal and too inevitable to be high — selling a house that her parents allowed to be termite infested and the like. And the resolution has a whiff of “It’ll all work out” pie-in-the-sky fantasy built in.

But Polo carries this lecture on family end-of-life-decisions, the martyred child who ends up doing all the heavy lifting while another keeps her distance and learning to “let go” of those pieces of work and micromanaging kids and parents with ease and style.

And if you can’t identify with any of this, give yourself time. It’ll come.
