Huff was a bad parent.


Your kid tells you he stole a cat from a science lab and broke into people's houses to pose it for some crappy photography. And you just sit there and laugh with him. I like how Beth chewed him out later about trying to be his kids friend instead of a parent.

Probably the first time in since S1 E1 that I agreed with Beth a character I really don't like.

Huff's attitude to the house-breaking etc was really bad.

Also this is the first episode where I also started to dislike Bird. He really is a spoiled brat and potential psycho.

Well they say psychiatrist kids are the most screwed up.Probably because they try to analyze them instead of being a parent.

Actually, Huff didn't just "sit there and laugh with him." Watch the scene again. Huff cracked a smile for a second, then became serious about the issue.

No,he really wasn't. Any other parent would have lost their *beep* Instead he just allowed that kid to run amok. You find out your kid is breaking into peoples houses and taking pictures of dead animals on their furniture. He tried to be his friend and I'm glad Beth pointed that out. Running off from the table screaming "its not *beep* That kid was a nut job along with the rest of that family. I'm glad the grandfather called him out on being a spoiled little brat.
