[ Groans ] Look at
these stupid boots

Taylor wants me
to buy her.

Yikes.

And why are
they open-toed?

Boots are
a cold-weather item.

That's what I said!

It's like socks
without the feet.

You mean
leg warmers? Damn it.

It's really hard to come up
with a similar example

to those dumb boots.

Taylor was pretty mad
when I said no.

We've been
fighting a lot lately.

We're just not connecting
like we used to.

Same with
me and Oliver.

He doesn't want anything
to do with me.

I bought a doghouse
for us to build together.

What teenage boy
wouldn't want to do that?

Every teenage boy in the history
of teenage boys.

I just feel like as
he gets older, we have less and less in common

and it's harder to spend
any quality time with him.

Then maybe you should
do something with Oliver

that Oliver
is interested in.

I can't do another drive
through the neighborhood

where I play
"Guess That Zestimate."

How about that
Johnny Diamond seminar

that he won't
shut up about?

That guy's
such a phony.

It's all recycled
self-help nonsense.

I'd rather bond
over something real.

Look, if you're the one
who wants to bond,

then you have to be the mature
one and make the sacrifice.

[ Groaning ] Fine!

I'll go to the Johnny Diamond
seminar with him.

You know, maybe you should take
your own advice

and make a sacrifice with Taylor
so you two can bond.

What did I say about undermining
me in front of the kids?

But the kids aren't --
Anna-Kat!

What?

Thank you, honey.

Good night.

Who the hell

Don't even try. I was at this

Thought I had one,
but I didn't.

Turns out a hat with no top

Are you thinking

Thank you. I think it will look
even better on you.

[ Gags ]

Why can't Taylor and I
be like that?

You can.
My kids and I are that close.

We hug six times a day.

Ugh!
What a load of garbage!

Parents and children
need boundaries!

Otherwise, they won't fear
or respect you.

No, I disagree.

I let my kids do
whatever they want

as long as I'm there
to supervise.

And it will be
the same

when they get older.
If they want to have sex,

they can do it at my house
while I'm home.

There has to be a middle ground
between lifelong bitterness

and listening
to your kids hump.

You know, I read in
Parenting magazine

that mothers and daughters
go on friend dates now to bond.

It's a fun way
to spend time together.

No judgments, and you get to
establish a new relationship

where you see each other
as equals.

Hey! More garbage!

You know, Greg said
I should do something

like mother-daughter
date night.

But ideas just sound better
coming from someone else.

I don't know, Katie. You'll be
setting a dangerous precedent

that could lead to your kids
coming back to visit

after they've already
moved out.

That's exactly
what I want.

Yep, that's what
you think now.

But imagine yourself
30 years older

and your kids are yelling at you
in your own home

for watching TV because
screens are bad for the baby.

I'm watching
"Game of Thrones,"

and so is the baby!

They need to learn
about violence

and love.

Oliver's on board with me

Actually, he said, "It might
ruin it but maybe it won't."

I'm taking that
as a win. That's great.

And Doris and Angela said
I should ask out Taylor

on a mother-daughter date and
buy her the open-toed boots.

Isn't that exactly
what I told you to do?

You want me to be
the kind of wife

that "listens"
to her husband?

Then we're gonna have to change
this whole operation.

I should go read up
on Johnny Diamond.

I'll start with
his first book,

"The Best of

How can his first book be
"The Best of Johnny Diamond"?

his next book is called

"Introducing
