Welcome to the My Thoughts on Supporting Characters series. Here is Episode 2: Thoughts on Loud parents. Let’s get into it. Prepare for another unpopular opinion.

I dislike both of them. At the Season 1, I was neutral with them, but Season 2 is what made me dislike both of them. In Season 1, in Loud 4x House Lynn Sr. just does a bad idea to have the kids stop fighting and it does work, but the entire house is thrashed. Also Rita said how bad the idea was, but did nothing when she also could have come up with a better idea than Lynn Sr.’s. In Chore and Peace both parents don’t so much to stop the problem from getting worse except for getting Lily out of it. April Fools Rules, they could have stopped Luan as the kids at least tried to stop her in this episode and Fools Paradise. Attention Deficit showed they cared to help their kids and A Novel Idea showed Rita’s kindness to taking Linc to her own job, but that doesn’t counter that much to their bad parenting in the three episodes I mentioned above.

Season 2 is where they just go down for me and it’s not because of Brawl or NSL. In Suite and Sour I didn’t exactly like when they took their children’s kindness and not tell the truth that it was them that got all of them kicked out. In Vantastic Voyage, Lynn Sr. just acts like a jerk and a weirdo and then realizes what he did is wrong due to an outside influence and his apology doesn’t sound that sincere. In Anti-Social and Legends, Lynn Sr. was just boring to me. Then in Fools Paradise, the parents once again don’t try to stop it unlike the kids who were at least trying and Lynn Sr. betrays his family and lets some of his kids get into very dangerous pranks. In Health Kicked, both parents are just lazy and being hypocrites since In Loudest Yard they were telling Linc to exercise when they don’t and then they try to get their kids to do it, but they are over working them and then their apology sounds pretty bland. In Future Tense, they basically over work their kids just to be better than some unimportant family and changes them. Lori and Leni doing SAT makes sense, but the rest of it is just changing what their kids are. The parents just lounging around watching stupid cat videos, when their kids are being overworked. Also their apology comes off so rushed. In Read Aloud, Rita basically agrees with Lucy to chain up Lola in the attic and says its fine because of pizza. Wow. Just wow. At least Lynn Sr. and most of the kids didn’t agree with it and then Rita says keep your chains ready. Not to mention this more disturbing due to the fact recently there was a story of 13 children being chained and malnourished, so they really shouldn’t make those type of jokes anymore especially in a kids show. Job Insecurity and Lock N Loud are good episodes for Lynn Sr., but due to me not liking their parenting methods throughout Season 1 and 2, both are just on my dislike now. Also they bore heavily since there isn’t much to them and the way I picture them are lazy, incompetent parents. I do wish there was a future episode where the McBrides give these two pointers on how to parent better.



Don’t start an argument over this, please. I have my way of thinking and my opinions and you have yours, no need to flame me over this.
