I started watching this family drama on February 16, 2017 and recorded some favorite lines and insights
S1E1
Gloria: But you're his family now, and that means only one thing. You be the wind in his back, not the spit in his face.
Jay :We are from different worlds, yet we somehow fit together. Love is what binds us, through fair or stormy weather. I stand before you now with only one agenda. " To let you know my heart is yours
S1E2
Jay: The key to being a good dad? Sometimes things work out just the way you want. Sometimes they don't. You gotta hang in there. Because when all is said and done, 90% of being a dad is just showing up .
S1E6
Claire:We do strange things for the people we love. We lie to them, We lie for them. There may be some bumps along the way, but we never stop wanting the best for them. That's what makes it such a tough job. Kind of the best job in the world.
S1E7
Jay: We tell our kids it doesn't matter if you win or lose, but let's be honest. Winning feels pretty great. There's nothing like that golden moment in the sun. I think every parent probably wants that for their child. And maybe a little bit for ourselves too. Sometimes we push too hard, and that leads to a lot of resentment and guilt. So, how much is too much? Here's where I come out. Guilt fades, hardware is forever.
S1E10
As much as we love our traditions, Sometimes our best memories come from the times that are the most untraditional.
