 David
Parker
David Parker is a very busy man, balancing taking care of
the kids, helping Eva with her projects, and watching football
(specifically, the NFL). David always tries to guide his three diverse
children into making the right decisions.
History
David Parker has had to find balance in raising and
encouraging his three diverse children and being a good husband to his
Hispanic wife. This includes his first
appearance where he has to talk with his son Matthew about tinkering
with other people's stuff but then has to turn around and encourage him
to continue his hobby even after causing technical problems at Whit's
End. He then has to get his family to find things to sell for an
upcoming yard sale which proves to be a challenge when his children's
definition of clutter and treasured keepsakes varies from child to
child. Then he when interest returns to the family he has to remind
everyone about what has happened in the family to past pets all of which
came to untimely ends. Despite this he shows his wisdom when teaching
Camilla the ups and downs of
responsibility.
In
Grandma's Visit
he's shown to have a decent if not good relationship with his
mother-in-law Lucia. However she is
disappointed at his lack of Spanish speaking ability and lack of fat on
his body. During the episode he also shows how far he's willing to go
when he takes a whole week off to help prepare his house for his
sister-in-law Rosalita's wedding, opening his house to his family
through marriage. However, the tension he experiences proves to be too
much and he finally takes his family out to a hotel so that they can
take a brief break from the chaos of the whole situation. Like the rest
of the family he is disappointed when Rosalita elopes with Orlando but
celebrates with the rest of the family in a fiesta.
He then has to deal with daughter Olivia's
various performing interests and the fact that at times she over commits
herself at times. Then in
An Agreeable Nanny
he gives his children a chance to prove they are responsible enough to
handle a pushover babysitter. However, they prove to be anything but
ready and he sentences them to a week of restriction. In
Grandma's Christmas
Visit he shows how sensible he is when proposing alternatives for
his family that would like quiet time before being informed the family
has no such option. Just the same he shows to be supportive to his
loving wife.
David then finally reveals some of his childhood when having to settle a
conflict between children Matthew and
Olivia. We then learn he has a passion
for football and doesn't like when his football time is cut into.
Finally he has to talk to Camilla about
forgiveness. He may like the New Orleans Saints, since the team he likes
has a WR named Henderson. New Orleans has a WR named Devery Henderson.
Family
David is the father of the Parker family. He has three
kids (Olivia,
Matthew, and Camilla),
and is married to his Spanish wife, Eva. His
mother-in-law is Lucia and a sister-in-law
named Rosalita.
