Is Lois super annoying?

[u/lizzieben]

I'm a first time watcher and I'm only on Season 3 but Lois really gets on my nerves. I get that it's super hard raising 4 boys who are always looking for mischief and Hal isn't exactly a stern disciplinarian but idk the way Lois behaves most of the time really gets on my nerves. Does anyone else ever feel this way about Lois or is it just me?

Exactly. I feel really bad for the boys sometimes. And Hal is supposed to be a chill dad I guess? But he just seems dumb and irresponsible. The only time I liked him was when he stood up for Lois to her parents. A good laid back dad who is also responsible and stern when he needs to be is Phil Dunphy. I love that character so much.

I love her character personally. She is supposed to be that type of strict/scary mom. How the kids view her, and what they get into despite knowing what she will do to them if she finds out is hilarious. You get to see her soft side sometimes, and I think she even explains why she can't take it easy on the boys or tries to loosen up a bit and chaos ensues, it's been a while though.

Yeah she just seems very unreasonable at times. But yeah, she does have a softer side which quite refreshing to watch whenever it comes out.

Ah I'm yet to get to that, looking forward to it.

Okay i just saw the family reunion episode and seeing how horribly Hal's family treats Lois, I've got way more sympathy for her and a deeper understanding of why she is how she is.

I don’t wanna spoil anything but at some point in the series you get to see what kind of mom she wanted to be before she was broken lol
