I think another episode worth examining is "Fool's Paradise". In that episode, Lynn Sr. not only makes no effort to teach Luan that it's not okay to take April Fools Day too far, but endangers his family by enabling her to do it all in the name of her temporarily laying off on her own terms. He allows Lana to be exposed to something they know she's allergic to, Lisa (a girl with a small, fragile body) to be crushed by a bed, Leni to be catapulted through the air with no guarantee of a safe landing, among other things. All of this harm and danger  he could have prevented had he found the backbone to say "no" to Luan and sit her down like any responsible parent would. He misses an opportunity to really teach his own daughter an important lesson.

Now I understand that if you like "Fools Paradise", this won't bother you very much. But I personally believe that this episode is an important indicator regarding how weak Lynn Sr. can be at times.
