* DoesntKnowTheirOwnChild: On the child end of this trope. Meg Griffin is ignored by her family so often, that there are moments where they don't even understand her. Such as when footage gets out about her kissing somebody, she says shes going to go eat peanuts, which Peter and Lois stare at her in confusion over. She tells them she's allergic. When they don't react, she angrily shouts they don't know anything about her.

* VillainProtagonist: Starting from Season 17, there have been a few episodes in which Lois starts out with a small goal or hobby that all end with her undergoing SanitySlippage and diving headfirst into this territory.
** In "Throw It Away", Lois begins to declutter the house to get rid of things that don't spark joy. She ends up throwing out everything and every''one'', to the point that the house is a WhiteVoidRoom and her family are out on the streets.
** In "Customer of the Week", Lois tries to win a coffee shop award for validation after feeling that her family don't appreciate her. Her attempts to win the award go from her making a nuisance of herself to her poisoning a barista so she can save her life, then tying up another barista who caught her.
** In "Prescription Heroine", Lois is bored with her life around the same time that Brian receives pills from the vet. She ends up getting hooked on the pills to the point that she's willing to endanger Stewie for the last pill that fell in the toilet.
** In "A Bottle Episode", Lois is banned from an Airbnb after stealing a bottle of shampoo. After downplaying the bottle's worth, Lois returns it to the owner in hopes of getting the bad review changed. When the owner (understandably) refuses to change it, Lois stalks and blackmails her until she gives in. This episode is the point where her status as this trope becomes fully-fledged; unlike the previous three episodes where she undergoes a ProtagonistJourneyToVillain, this episode reveals that she ''intentionally'' stole from the Airbnb owner out of petty jealousy for her better life and lied about it through the entire episode without remorse. Her rant at the end of the episode confirms she's utterly lost it.
