I’ve seen a fair few episodes, I’d second the recommendation. Notable for having a non-traditional family presented as being completely run-of-the-mill.
I actually am most disappointed with the fact that all three families (including the gay couple) turn out to have a completely straightforward dynamic (working “dad”, stay at home “mom”)
That said, the show is incredibly funny and well constructed, as far as family sitcoms go.
I actually did too for a long while—Claire seems so tough and together that, apart from not having a job, she feels more like the stereotypical ‘Man’ in the relationship. But that toughness mostly gets applied to maintaining the household.

Mom or “mom” that doesn’t sound all that modern to me!

I hadn’t picked up on that, I thought the blonde mam had a job. Interesting point, I’ll remember that.
