"All Parents Screw Up All Children" | House M.D.

That dad at the start is an absolute dead beat. Your son literally just punched a clown in the balls, and then you scold the clown for telling your kid off in the nicest way possible. I know it’s a show, but some people are genuinely setting their kids up for failure like this

Never understood that dad's response to the clown telling the kid off for punching him. It's not like he took his belt off and started thrashing the kid, he just said "that's not okay".

Really like that they didn't have the stereotypical bad Step Father

Not remembering the abuse is a HUGE sign of trauma, dissociative amnesia make everything look normal but under the hood it's pure chaos, that will come back to hit them like a high speed train as an adult. Telling him the truth may break the illusion and bring everything back, but it's the only way you can treat it properly.

Wow, when that kid eventually finds out the truth he's going to be devastated. Finding out that his dad molested him, gave him an STD that nearly killed him, and that his mom lied to him for years and let him idealize his molester is crushing. The whole reason he's on the career path he's on is because he looks up to his abuser, getting constant disappointment from his mom and stepdad for going into a career despite him not knowing the truth. This is going to destroy that relationship.

"yes it's real, oh you mean the..." lol pure comedy

'We caught it early, you'll be okay"
sees the videos only halfway done
"noooo. no... nooooo"

Lyle wasn't up to Pollos standards so he was fired and he became a clown

"I shouldn't be here".
No... you should be in jail.

I like how every family in this show has most intimate conversations in front of 2-3 doctors they see for the first time in their lives

He survived to become a manager at a chicken restaurant

Good to know Gustavo Fring rescued Lyle from a life of mediocrity by employing him at Los Pollos Hermanos after this episode.

Never a truer statement made.

His statement was interesting: "You followed your brain instead of your heart." Typically, when someone makes a call like that, it's said that they follow their heart. However, House reverses it, saying that Taub followed his brain by hiding the truth from him, believing it to be protecting him.

I liked how this House, even tho he was sarcastic, was serious.

I love they put the answer in the video now. They used to cut off right before the solution, drive people to prime video subscription and DVD sales probably, I guess they gave up🤷🏻‍♂️

Despite seeming the most deadpan character House ever had in his team, I really like how empathic and aware Taub actually is

I not gonna lie these kids are evil like really pure evil laughing at someone collapsing. Ik they are just kids who properly didn't know what going on, but still didn't justify how parents let's there kid go this far

Sometimes telling a hard truth is something we do for ourselves. To make ourselves feel better. Then we tell ourselves that we did it because it was the right thing for the person we told the truth to.
For the most part, I am a proponent of radical honesty: always tell all the truth about all things. But there may be rare occasions when telling the truth is simply self-serving. You pride yourself on your honesty, which is fine, it’s a lot better than priding yourself on your deviousness or your indifference or lots of other things. But there are times when the truth will hurt someone, when they can’t do anything with it other than hurt and when they won’t otherwise know, ever. This sets up a fairly good example of this— for the doctors. However, the mother fucked up. I wonder how many other children the father molested because she decided not to tell the truth and I wonder how much of her lie was to protect her son and how much was to save herself a lot f trouble, pain and humiliation. Certainly
