'''Basic Trope''': HumansAreFlawed, applied to parenting.
* '''Straight''': [[KidHero Hiro]]'s parents, AliceAndBob, both work 9-to-5 jobs which restricts the time they can spend with their son, who feels neglected as a result, but they have no choice if they want to stay afloat and feed the family. They love their son very much and wish the situation were better so they could spend more time together, but have to deal with the pressure of their livelihoods and are stricter than necessary with him at times due to their stress overtaking them.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Hiro's parents ''are'' the protagonists.
** Hiro's father is an extreme case of BumblingDad and his mother is so much of a HardDrinkingPartyGirl she spends most of the day recovering from her hangovers.
* '''Downplayed''': Hiro's parents have [[InformedFlaw Informed Flaws]], but they rarely come into play if ever.
* '''Justified''':
** HumansAreFlawed - and it doesn't escape parents.
** Hiro's parents had AbusiveParents or [[ParentalNeglect neglectful parents]] themselves, and unwittingly they perpetrate the cycle.
* '''Inverted''': ParentExMachina
* '''Subverted''': We start getting a glimpse of what looks like a busy life for Alice and Bob, but soon after the narration no longer makes mention of it and Hiro's parents become perfect authority figures for the rest of the franchise.
* '''Double Subverted''': A special episode focuses on the shortcomings of Hiro's parents and the effect on the household dynamics.
* '''Parodied''': AliceAndBob are bizarre parents to Hiro, who are some sort of AmazingTechnicolorPopulation with strange clothes and builds.
* '''Zig Zagged''': The series never seems to make up its mind on whether Hiro's parents are ReasonableAuthorityFigures or complete failures at being parents.
* '''Averted''': Hiro's parents are not mentioned.
* '''Enforced''': Hiro's parents are used as explanations - or even a FreudianExcuse - to his personality, qualities and flaws.
* '''Lampshaded''': "My parents are always out working, even when they come back home. I know they try their best, but sometimes I wish they had more time for me..."
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': [[BigBad Emperor Evulz]] tries to turn Hiro against his parents by [[BreakThemByTalking hammering their shortcomings and failures in his head.]]
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': "Your parents, first and foremost, are human. They do good stuff, but they also do bad stuff, like you, Hiro. You can't expect them to be perfect all the time."
* '''Conversed''': "When this show went into detail about the reasons why Hiro's parents don't spend much time with him, I started feeling sympathy for them."
* '''Deconstructed''': As Hiro grows up and acknowledges this trope, a BrokenPedestal situation happens in which the ideal image of his parents shatters, putting a great toll on his self-esteem.
* '''Reconstructed''': Afterwards, he understands that his parents are only human and only had their best intentions at heart, leading to a RebuiltPedestal and increased respect for his parents.
