* TheUnfairSex: A recurring issue in the show is that Molly tends to be irresponsible and selfish; but when Mike calls her out on it, he's made to look like the bad guy or - at best - they ''both'' apologize even when Mike wasn't in the wrong.
** Starting in season 4, Molly goes off the rails, quitting her job on a whim - despite having '''huge''' debt (all of which was incurred by her), drinking frequently with Joyce and Victoria, and ''still'' continues to make extravagant purchases when she has no income. When Mike calls her on wasting "his money", that's all that's discussed afterwards - even though he immediately said he misspoke. No one bothered to mention that Mike was 100% right that she shouldn't be blowing hundreds of dollars on frivolous purchases.

* MyGreatestFailure: "[=McMillan=] and Mom" reveals that Carl's grandmother disowned her daughter for abandoning Carl, even lying about the woman being dead just so Carl would never have to deal with the drama. After the truth comes out, she prays on the matter and has a breakdown, She admits she realized that she herself is the one that needs to seek forgiveness, due to having been a lousy mother that focused on carousing rather than setting a good example for her child. When told she did a good job raising Carl, all she can do is wonder if things would've been better for all concerned had she been a good mother the first time around.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: Carl's grandmother admits that, as angry as she was at her daughter for abandoning Carl, she also saw it as this. She admits to having been a lousy mother herself, so she saw raising Carl as a chance for a do-over.
