Lynn Sr. and Rita have been shown to be competent and responsible parents in Season 1. In recent episodes though, It seems like they might be slowly devolving. Now you might be thinking "Dude, what the heck are you talking about?", well I'll tell you.

We all know about the infamous "Brawl in the Family", a very flawed episode that makes little sense. Well, one of the flaws in is how the so called "parents" were portrayed. Instead of stepping in and stopping the fighting when it's getting out of hand, they do absolutely nothing. *facepalm* You've got to be kidding me. If you're not going to have these two be responsible parents, why have them in the episode in the first place? There is no reason for them to be as useless as they were in this episode.

Then there's the recent "No Such Luck", where everyone stupidly believes in superstition, even the supossedly smart Lisa. Well, when Lincoln's lie gets out of hand, he gets locked out of his room and then out of the house. Do Lynn Sr. and Rita do something about this? Actually, they just let Lincoln sleep outside. And the next morning, they wouldn't let him in. Child neglect, anyone? And then towards the end, when everyone apologizes to Licnoln, which was nice, Rita says she sold his furniture, which kinda ruins the moment. What?

You might be thinking "Come on dude, it was only two episodes. That doesn't mean they're becoming worse parents." You might be right, but honestly, if they have been shown to be competent and responsible parents before, why were they portrayed this way to begin with? It's like they didn't care about Lincoln at all. Now, I'm hoping they won't be portrayed this badly in anymore Season 2 episodes, but I can't stop worrying this might not be the last time.

So tell me, what are your thoughts?
