Averted with Elly and John's third child, April; Johnson had been debating having a third child, but was unsure if she wanted to go through it all again. Rod advised her to have ''Elly'' get pregnant instead, and she did so.

* CreatorBreakdown: The strip manages to subvert this, though arguably not for the better. Author Lynn Johnston started going through a mess of personal problems late in the comic's run. Her reaction to this, oddly enough, was to start writing material considerably ''less'' inflammatory and dramatic than what had made her famous. Her marriage falling apart apparently greatly increased her desire to see two characters finally getting married without all the usual hang-ups weddings in Tropeville are generally known for.
** Then we got the [=ReFOOB=], which was mostly reprints of earlier strips, with art and dialogue changed to cast the alter ego of Lynn's ex-husband in a bad light, and making it look like (even moreso than the first-runs) Elly is living a bored, insufferable existence with an uncaring husband and bratty kids. This is especially distressing as it literally ''[[MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight rewrites history]]'' with a joyless existence.

* CreatorsPest: By the end of the strip, Lynn regretted April Patterson, the youngest child of the family. She was created as a stand in for her considering having a third child. But after she changed her mind and April started getting too old for cute little kid shenanigans, April first became a {{Manchild}} to keep her as a toddler while aging her and then became TheUnfavorite, expected to sacrifice and put aside her problems and life for her family without getting anything back.
