For showing the struggles dad's go thru too when raising and connecting with their children. I feel like it's not shown much on tv media or film and when it happens it's special. Randal; Kevin, Jack and Toby went thru realistic problems every father does including the sacrifices that they have to make to keep their kids/family happy. Most importantly tho it was more about the struggles of parenting the stuff both moms & dad's go thru and how they meet in the middle to parent. All in all great episode about lessons learned thru fatherhood.

Loved the babies

Loved Randall and Beth's initial and then thought out reaction to Dejas voice mail. Rebecca as a mom, floating above us all. We can not compete. She makes everything perfect for everyone, not fair for her. It was not in the stars for her to be compensated for her sublimity. Toby and Kate story line....still a stretch... how are you all going to make sense of this (?)
Wrong messaging

I find myself struggling as of late, trying to understand the message this series is sending to parents and children. Deja lies to her parents, takes off on a cross-country trip and then spends the weekend sleeping with her high-school boyfriend. Randall and Beth eventually find out the truth and decide to punish her by...wait for it...apologizing to her for treating her like a child?? What the??
Jack takes his three kids to the movies and while he dozed off, little Kevin decided to sneak off on his own to explore the mall. Consequences? None! Did they explain to little Kevin why he was wrong to do what he did? No.
Kate and Toby's grown up son, Jack, is blind, but expertly flips burgers on his barbecue grill just like millions of other Americans. His disability is of zero consequence. He may be blind, but rest assured, he's just the same as everyone else. His blindness is a mere cosmetic inconvenience.
This show was brilliant when it started back in the day, but the wokeness as of late is wearing really thin, to the point of incredulity.
