* ExtremeDoormat: Bob is always spineless, but he's even more so here. Even when his kids drive his wife to tears, he does nothing to lecture or correct his children's behavior, nor does he make a real effort to support or console Linda when she needed it. Even when Linda makes a valid point that their kids could grow up as delinquents, Bob admits that they could pretend they don't know them if that were to ever occur. Ultimately he wasn't willing to confront nor discipline his kids when they ''really'' could have used it.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Gloria's criticisms are usually petty, but she's not ''completely'' wrong about how kids should do at least some chores as a means to helping out their parents. While it's implied that she and Al weren't very kind about it, most parents would agree that some kids could stand to do chores to pitch in.

Her point gets undermined when Louise reminds her parents that they've already got the kids working in the restaurant, which Gloria either forgot or doesn't acknowledge as pitching in.

* JerkassBall: The kids are probably at their worst here, even Tina and Gene. Louise especially carries it firmly throughout the entire episode. While it's in character for her to be defiant and disrespectful to her parents, it's to the point where her refusal to listen to her mother comes off as incredibly petty and unreasonable and she even drives Linda to tears.

* CallingTheOldManOut: Downplayed, as Linda doesn't actually tell off Gloria for being so judgmental, but she at least gets to express it in a story she tells her kids. It's the first and ''only'' time we see Linda express any sort of rebellion against her awful mother.
-->'''Linda:''' This is our town. These are our people. And that tart, onion-y odor is our smell. And sure, us sheriffs may not always do what we’re supposed to do, but we do what we need to do. For the good of this town. And I’m gonna be a better sheriff if I listen to my gut, and not someone else’s gut who doesn’t even live here. And right now, my gut is telling me back off, Big G.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Implied and Invoked with Gloria in both the episode and the story itself. Linda and Louise's clash ultimately boils down to Linda feeling pressured by Gloria's nagging and Louise's defiance isn't personally directed at Linda, as it is towards her grandmother, whom Louise doesn't personally respect nor like. In their bedtime story, Linda and Louise even team up together against 'Big G' (Gloria), the ''real'' antagonist of the story.

* PushOverParents: The Belcher kids have so little respect for their parents' authority, they won't brush their teeth or even go their rooms when ordered to. Bob is his typical indifferent self and Linda raising her voice has zero effect. Even after the kids have a JerkassRealization, they don't agree to do chores until they are bribed with candy.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: The parents (mostly Linda) and the kids (mostly Louise) raise some pretty valid points on the chore debacle. As Linda puts it, she's worried that the kids are going to turn into delinquents with no respect for anyone as they get older and it would be good for them to help out their parents. As Louise puts it, the kids already work in the restaurant every day for free aside from their meager allowance so it's not as though they don't have a right expect ''some'' compensation.
