* JerkassHasAPoint: Alan is correct when he points out the issues with how Charlie is interacting with Jake, both in how his unwillingness to help Alan enforce punishments is just going to make Jake misbehave more, and that the proper way to punish a misbehaving child is to take away privileges and toys rather than your love towards the child. But it's not particularly reasonable for them to expect Charlie to immediately get over and forgive Jake for doing something that he very explicitly told him not to do, which ends up rendering an entire room in Charlie's house unusable, while he's still trying to fix the problem.
