Parenthood: Sometimes being accepted is the greatest gift

On this week's Parenthood episode we saw a new side to the Braverman family, one that is not always perfect and where everyone is just looking to be accepted. Below are a few of these moments.

- When Haddie can't babysit Sydney, Julia decides she just won't go out on her date night with her husband. But then Sarah suggests Amber babysit. From the very beginning we see that Julia is worried about this, so when she cancels on Amber we weren't really surprised. Amber wasn't all that disappointed, but Sarah went to Julia to get her to realize Amber is capable. This proves Sarah's desire to show she, and her kids, are good enough.
- When Crosby has to take Jabbar to the hospital, he tries calling Adam and Sarah but they do not answer, so he then calls Julia. She saves the day and comments about how she was impressed he called her and not one of the other siblings. And when Crosby comments about how she is a good mother, it is enough to make Julia feel like it may actually be true despite all her worries.
- Adam and Kristina find out Haddie has a boyfriend who she has been seeing for more than a month. What makes it worse is that his family knows her and all about them, yet they didn't even know the boyfriend existed until they snooped around her room and on her computer. But at the end of the episode, after rebelling against her parents for a few days, Haddie brings her boyfriend to meet the entire extended family, in the hope that their acceptance would end their feud.
