Modern Family

Adam Braverman (Peter Krause), "Parenthood"

Adam's pretty fixated on being and appearing "normal," surrounded by an awful lot of somewhat flaky extended family members, and he spends a lot of energy parenting a full house of his own. He wants to be, and has to be, the rock for ... more everyone else, so we kind of love it when he does lose his cool.

Adam's parenting proverb: "You don't have to choose between being a mom and having to work. You may not be there all the time. But the time you do have, you can make it count."
