When we first met the Dunphy-Pritchett clan on Modern Family, we were in awe of the diverse ways in which they lived their lives. Cameron and Mitchell were trying to figure out how to raise a daughter, Claire and Phil struggled to keep up with the demanding ways of raising three children, and Jay was the patriarch at the center of it all, keeping his little family intact while minding the welfare of the extended tribe. For eleven seasons, we watched the children grow, the adults get tested, the family come closer, drift apart, and grow tighter, only to be pulled apart by life. Needless to say, the Pritchetts and Dunphys left us with a couple of life lessons. Here are the very best:
1. The World Needs Both Dreamers And Realists
The Pritchetts, as it turned out, were more of realists. Their spouses, Cam (Eric Stonestreet), Phil ( Ty Burrell) and Gloria ( Sofia Vergara) leaned more towards the dreamers’ side. Just like Phil had dreams that he felt he hadn’t achieved because of his wife, Cam had a number of unexplored pursuits he’d put aside because of Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson). Phil, Cam, and company were wild thinkers, so much that Phil’s billionaire friend often used the question, What would Phil Dunphy do? Though the family was divided for a while, in the end, they established that the world need both. The dreamers, so that everyone could take off the ground, and the realists, so that no one would soar too close to the sun.
