* JerkWithAHeartofGold: Despite being neglectful parents towards Fred while favoring his brother Nick, they do care about him.
* KarmaHoudini: Phyllis partly responsible for how he turned out. Unlike Nick, who realized what he did to his brother, she never realizes her own mistakes nor is she ever called out on them.
* ParentalFavoritism: Obviously their parents towards Nick. When one son is a saint beloved by all the world's children and responsible for rendering you functionally immortal while the other is a grinchy con-man who defined Santa's idea of naughty children, you're going to be a little favoritist. They were favoring Nick long before his sainthood; in several instances in childhood, whenever Fredrick did something his mother was about to positively remark on, Nicolas would top him in an outlandish manner. Then chiding Fred started when he tried applying logic to any of the things Nick did.
