{{examples}}
* ''[[The Lockhorns]]'', though thankfully the eponymous couple apparently doesn't have kids.▼
* ''[[For Better or For Worse]]'' since going into reprints/new-runs seems to spend a lot of time dwelling on how John is an insensitive dolt and the children have nothing better to do than make Elly's life harder.

== Western Animation ==
