- Does anyone care less about her kids than Terry Garr: she could come home to two kids instead of three and not notice for a day and a half; Keaton losing all his kids in the grocery store is defended as realistic by a host whose wife lost their son Ben in a London park for eleven minutes in 2012, since kids are like dogs and just run off.
- Home Alone is raised as the most ridiculous version of leaving a kid behind, with the counter that people were not attached at the hip to their children then; the point is that she is a terrible parent, not a terrible mom, since getting a job does not stop you reading a bedtime story once.
- The Schooner Tuna ad they end up with is really terrible and could have been made three percent better; the clip is played, and the hosts again conclude they ran out of time and film, though it gets the point across.
- The house is disgustingly dirty, and Carolyn would at least notice that even if she missed a kid; the kids also seem to have an advanced understanding of their parents' employment status, which kids do not care about.
