Their son Bart, the eldest child, is a troublemaker and self-proclaimed underachiever. Bart has a mixed relationship with his father. While sometimes harboring a very close relationship with his father, Bart's opinion of Homer is all over the radar, ranging from very affectionate love to deep frustration. It has been shown in several episodes that Bart's bad behavior is partly caused by the cruel education system. It is also often shown that Bart isn't all bad and is a good person deep inside.

The older daughter. Lisa is mostly concerned with being a good student, protecting the environment (although she is involved with other [[liberal]] causes at different points in the show's history such as [[recycling]]), and playing the [[saxophone]]. Her high intelligence relative to the rest of her family often makes her feel isolated. In more recent seasons Lisa has been criticised for her constant pushing of the liberal viewpoint.
