About Modern Family:
The family at the center of “Modern Family” is headed by Jay Pritchett (Ed O’Neill), who is now married to his second wife, the young, gorgeous Gloria (Sofía Vergara), assumed by some to be his daughter. In their loving care is Gloria’s daydreaming son, Manny (Rico Rodriguez). Jay’s driven daughter, Claire (Julie Bowen), and her real estate agent husband, Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell), want an open, healthy relationship with their three kids, which isn’t always easy.
Their oldest daughter, Haley (Sarah Hyland), grows up a little too fast. Middle child, Alex (Ariel Winter), is a too-smart-for-her-own-good daughter, and the youngest, Luke (Nolan Gould), is a rambunctious son. Where Phil wants to be the “cool dad,” Claire is determined to keep her kids from walking in the wayward footsteps of her younger days.
Jay’s very serious son, Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), and his gregarious husband, Cameron (Eric Stonestreet), become doting parents to Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons), the sweet Vietnamese girl they adopt. Though life isn’t always tidy, politically correct, or predictable, it’s always loving, heartwarming, and hilarious for this blended, extended-and truly modern-family.

This has nothing to do with sexes lol. Jay is her father while Gloria was a stranger dating her much older, rich father & trying to be a part of the family.

[@blaqwhole4998]

@@resurgingflame not for nothing, look at her and look at Jay. If you think a chick like her would find someone like Jay physically attractive then you're nuts. The point is, it was a mutually beneficial pairing. Jay got an attractive woman that he would have never been able to get unless he had money. So win for him. Gloria got a wealthy husband who gave her a really good life of financial freedom when there is no other possible way she could have attained that on her own. So win for her. It's a win win situation. And Jay is a shrewd businessman. He wasn't being taken advantage of. Gloria is a street smart worldly woman. So she wasn't being taken advantage of either. Claire had no business entering her opinion into it. Now if Jay was delirious or suffered dementia or was dying or in hospice and someone showed up, THEN Claire would have had a right to step in. But in this case she was out of bounds.

@@thelight1385 Based on what?

[@WhoWho569]

Never share your secret thoughts with anyone, and even less if they concern your views on someone else. Clare’s concerns were legitimate, but they weren’t to be shared; she should have kept them to herself. It’s beyond obvious that Gloria got with Jay (a much older, overweight man) to improve her and her son’s life, that goes without having to say. But so what, Jay also got a hot, young wife out of it. These types of relationships are transactional, so both parties win. The last thing one wants to do is opinionate, it’s their life and what works for them. The problem is that an older daughter like Clare would be concerned with her inheritance, and that’s the real crux of the matter. But then again a simple conversation with dad about protecting his assets would have sufficed.
