The Parents Of "Euphoria" Ranked From Doing The Worst To Trying Their Best

Nobody said parenting was easy, but it definitely shouldn't be as hard as the Euphoria parents make it.

Euphoria is known for putting teenagers in adult situations and the chaos that follows, but what about the actual adults themselves? With each character's backstory, viewers have gotten to know their parents...and that hasn't always been a good thing.

10. Cal Jacobs

HBO Max

There's an endless list of reasons as to why Cal is the worst father on the planet. Whether it be his double life, hidden stash of sex tapes, or the fact that he engages in sexual activity with minors, it's all bad. He wonders how Nate got so messed up when his behavior was a huge contributing factor.

9. Marsha Jacobs

HBO Max

This woman applauded her son for abusing his ex-girlfriend and fails to see any faults in her own behavior. She's all like, "Why did you turn into a villain, Nate?" when her co-parenting alongside Cal was definitely to blame.

8. Gus Howard

HBO Max

Ugh. This one hurts because he was a good dad for like a hot minute, but also was he? He lost his way and it scarred his girls worse than he will ever know or realize. C'mon Gus.

7. Frederick McKay

HBO Max / Via giphy.com

McKay's dad put a lot of pressure on him and screamed toxic masculinity and we do not vibe with that.

6. Leslie Bennett

HBO Max

Leslie is simply trying her best. If she was a Taylor Swift song, she'd be "This Is Me Trying." She wants the best for her girls but sometimes falls short when it comes to giving them what they need—but it is not for a lack of trying!

5. Samantha

HBO Max

Samantha loses points for inviting a high schooler to get drunk with her in a pool, but she gains points for not only being an expert advice giver, but also a dang good gift giver!

4. Marie O'Neill (Fezco's grandma)

HBO Max

She was a mother f**ckin' G! Did she make a lot of poor decisions that put children at risk? Absolutely. But was she a total badass babe? Absolutely.

3. Robert Bennett

HBO Max

Robert's time in Rue and Gia's life was cut too short, but one thing's for certain: he was a good dad. He loved his girls and his wife and deserved better.

2. David Vaughn

HBO Max / Via giphy.com

Jules' dad is the sweetest man on the planet. No arguments, no questions, no further comments.

1. Suze Howard

HBO Max

She's not like a regular mom, she's a cool mom. Suze Howard has her flaws like any other person on the planet, but at her core she's a good mom who understands that one of her daughters is a writer, and the other most definitely needs an exorcism.
