[19:06] IsambardPrince Hal got a demotion at work because he went to his boss and explained that he's a parent now and he needs more time off, so his boss smiles and says "Sure Hal, we understand." and then it flashes forward to Hal's office being moved to a supply room next to the toilets while his boss promotes the guy that Hal trained. [19:07] IsambardPrince Never once does it occur to them that they went from being yuppies with a nice apartment, a luxury car, and no debt, to "Crappy house, can only afford groceries on double coupon day, and the credit card companies calling them." because they won't stop having kids.

[19:28] IsambardPrince They sent him off to military school because he was the worst delinquent out of the bunch, even worse than Reese. [19:29] IsambardPrince Reese was just a bully, but the problem was sort of self-limiting because there was no brain. [19:29] IsambardPrince Francis was not as smart as Malcolm, but he was clearly intelligent. Not intelligent enough to avoid getting caught, but intelligent enough to explain his way out and return to baseline. [19:30] IsambardPrince Malcolm is their best one. Brilliant and not really a troublemaker. [19:30] IsambardPrince Dewey is manipulative, but too immature for it to hold together very long, but long enough to cause Hal and Lois serious problems. [19:33] IsambardPrince Dealing with all four of them at once proved disastrous, and they're already stretched down to the last penny to keep Francis contained. [19:34] IsambardPrince The episode where they're panicking that Lois missed her period and Hal had to run to a store to get a pregnancy test was brilliant. I was explaining it to my partner. He's not from this country. [19:35] IsambardPrince I explained how each child was setting them back financially and a fifth one would "land them in bankruptcy court".

[19:37] IsambardPrince Against a backdrop of "Don't think about it, just produce children for Capitalism and The State." [19:38] IsambardPrince The episode resolves with "Lois isn't pregnant and they escaped financial ruin, but the relief of the marital tension leaves Hal and Lois running towards the bedroom again, having learned absolutely nothing even in the wake of a possible crisis."
