Usually, when it comes to parenting, Helen takes the lead. She has often been irritated when Jake doesn't properly back her up or show initiative himself, and in "[[Arts 'N Crass]]" became ''very'' angry when Jake took Daria's side instead.
In "[[Of Human Bonding]]", while Jake was away, she sounded out the [[Fashion Club]] about how to respond if "this girl's boyfriend" no longer appreciates her and if the relationship has become "sort of a drag". In "[[Gifted]]", she made a rather angry 'joke' regarding divorce.
However, in general they get on as a couple and episodes like "[[The Teachings of Don Jake]]" and "[[Jake of Hearts]]" show she truly cares for him, with her whole routine and home life changing after Jake's heart attack (and then changing back when it became clear he'd be fine). In "Psycho Therapy", she was also upset at the thought she'd left Jake feeling neglected and resentful, and apologised to him (and vice versa) for things said.
