Claire is the most realistic Mom I've seen in a WHILE. I've seen a lot of shows that have either Mom Porn where mom's the most perfect mom to ever mom, or they're straight up neglegent/abusive to their kids, but Claire's just average. It's really refreshing to see averageness depicted. She loves her kids, and she fucks up, but she tries to fix it. THAT'S what makes a good mom. Trying.

[alevaldezcabrera]

One of my favorite scenes in the whole show is when Claire meets Alex after a day of parents in the school where she learns about all the things Alex is doing for college applications and she tells Alex "I've done it one day and I am a mess. I don't know how you do it!" And Alex just hugs her and cries.

[livgertz]

Claire gets a lot better as the show goes on, a lot less controlling and a lot more loving. She honestly seems stressed and at the beginning Phil really doesn’t give her much chance to take a break. He’s irresponsible and it takes him awhile to realize he can be fun and also take the burden to be “serious” off of his wife by really helping her.

Claire is arguably the best parent in the show, and once she realises that Haley, Luke and Alex are totally different from her, and she can't keep controlling their lives, she gives them much needed space. She also offers to help Dylan and Haley out after they announce her pregnancy.

[Raienya]

"That's not her drunk voice" gets me every time.

[Ladiestudy]

I love the way Alicia looks at you when you are speaking, I think nowadays a lot of people don’t pay attention when their partners talk, but Alicia looks at you with full attention on, that’s so sweet and couple goals

[samu]

I sometimes feel sorry for Claire. Because yes Phil is nice and a great Dad but she hasnt constant Support. He steps up when things get crazy. But he is not reliable.
I love Claire, she is great and can give space and advice. But I really think the parents dropped the ball on Alex. And they realized that in later seasons. They were so obsessed to get Haley and Luke on track that they forget to support Alex emotionally. Yes they cannot keep up with her intellektuelle and they dont have to, developing an interest and providing her with a network she can talk to would have been enough. On the other hand I do get why things like that happen. Just life. That is what makes the show so relateable

I loved the whole arc they gave her where she smiles when mentioning death "your hamster died 😁" I WHEEZE EVERYTIME

[NAlla]

So excited for you guys to react to Modern Family! ☺️☺️

you should react to claire’s relationship with her mother

[CoraMardnab]

I'm a Mom of 2 bio kiddos and a bonus son, and as each new addition to my family came along, and our lives changed, the self-care practices I had carefully cultivated for myself became harder and harder to continue, just by nature of our changing circumstances. It was a few years ago that I had this revelation of "wait... I can go stay at a hotel.... by myself? Without other plans, or it being needed by travel? I'm allowed to do that?" It's not the only solution, obviously, and I'm still working to find healthy ways to care for myself on a day-to-day basis while also tending to my full time job and my family... but 3-4 times a year, I book a hotel room at an affordable place one town over that I like and I just... go there. Sometimes I go hiking during the day, sometimes shopping, and sometimes I literally just sit in the peace and uninterrupted silence of a room to myself and get my upcoming plans in order, or do my budget, or read. I take a bath for as long as I want knowing there aren't 5 other people who may need to use the bathroom at any given moment.

It's been a total game-changer for my mental health. I'm grateful we have the means for me to be able to do that, and that I have a family that is so supportive of me taking that crucial time for myself. My parents still don't quite understand, haha... they've been married for decades and it never would have even occurred to them to go stay at a hotel alone for no reason. It took a lot for me to come to the conclusion that it was an OK thing for me to do. So I loved hearing about Alicia going to stay at a resort by herself for a week! One of my favorite things about becoming an adult is discovering that almost all the rules are totally made up, and that we're allowed to deconstruct them, and put them back together in the ways that most make sense and best serve us all, instead of just doing the things the way we do because we always have.

[jonhinson]

Phil is the real reason I love Modern Family. He and Claire have a great relationship although they have totally different approaches to parenting but the mix works so well.

[calij]

I’m not a mom but I deeply relate to Claire as an aunt and at work (I work with children at a type of preschool and after school program).

[Gwenx]

Its one of my favorite shows, i love the wacky dynamic of the families and how they show a more normal, fun, stupid, embarrassing side of life.
I might laugh at all the gags, but they also show the hardships of life, how to say no, and how to handle hard situations. It has also made me cry multiple times lol!

This series has given me something my own family couldn't, and it has at times hit me in the face and made me realize how i was acting wrong towards others.

Also im very much a Phil!
My partner is like Alex hahah!
The bad sides of Claire is basically my mom 😅

[KirstenWakiesa]

Aaww this episode was just aawww💚. The way you both look at each other is so beautiful. I think Alicia could be like Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet, Jono being Baloo🐻 is just great. I feel like I'm a mix of Baymax and Olaf 😅

[L_San]

I am Monica from Friends 😂 I have my heart in the good place but I overthink, over organise and panic when ppl touch my stuff. Also I have my traumas but I work on them and do my best to be there for those I love. I talk loud when I'm excited just as her 😂 I hear a lot I'm a Monica.

[CanadianChipmunk]

I would love to see you guys cover yes day on cinema therapy, with aleisha as a guest. My kids watched it and were like omg a yes day would be amazing I'm like the point of it is that the kids are supposed to realize that saying no is necessary in parenting otherwise the kids can turn the house into a giant bubble bath

[Schu]

My biggest issue with my own parenting (outside of general impatience) is that a lot of times I will say “no” immediately because I don’t want to deal with having to set up the board game or set up the crafts and clean up and all that. But then I wait and think about it, why do we have the craft stuff if not for them to use it? Why do we have the games and puzzles? So then I change my stance because even if I’m tired or grouchy or would rather do a different activity, I’ll change my mind and say “yes”. I worry sometimes that it makes me seem like I’m not totally solid in my decisions, haha. But it’s just that I speak before I really think about it and a body at rest, etc. I’m trying to get better about thinking the request over before I answer because I think my kids deserve the thoughtfulness and ultimately doing those activities together makes us happy even if I initially didn’t want to have to get all the paint stuff out or find the particular special puzzle they want.

[larrypinkus]

Great reaction. Someone has probably recommended Simon and Wilhelm from Young Royals. It has lots of different themes, classism, shame, love.

[softiebutterfly]

I have an idea for therapist react raws, have you heard of a show called Ginny and Georgia? It’s about a girl who became a mom at 15 and faces many struggles and journeys through everything
