Allan, I’m with you on the parental responsibility thing. But, as I mentioned on an earlier post, Lisa just doesn’t seem to realize that the kids ARE her responsibility. The disconnect is alarming. Her affect is one of “who are these kids, and how did they get here”. What really makes the whole effect bizarre is that they all look like her – her son’s face is a carbon copy of hers.
It’s difficult to tell from a heavily-edited TV show like SN, but, overall, they seemed to be pretty nice kids. It’s a shame.
