I think they don't add scares purely for budgetary reasons. It would mean going to the make-up chair every time they want to show a little skin and getting a scar painted on - and it's true, they already have to have their chests slathered in make-up, but scars probably take longer. I know in a recent episode they had Jensen hide his naked chest in a shower scene, because they just didn't have the time for him to sit for three hours in the make-up chair and get the tattoo put on.
I think when they were kids they probably learned the basics of Latin - maybe to deal with witches? I don't know.
I think John is a complicated guy, because he's basically doing the wrong thing with his kids for the right reasons. He takes them hunting (dangerous) because he wants to keep them safe. So, when you are already acting on a contradiction, you tend to have contradictions inside that contradiction - hence leaving them on their own while he hunts more dangerous things...which leads to both neglect and the possibility that he might not come home. And then you add on the fact that he's grieving, and probably part of him realizes he's making questionable decisions as a dad and he's out of his depth...and maybe he's in pain from a hard hunt...and so he starts drinking, which really just makes the problem worse.
So, I think John constantly worries about his kids, but he really can't figure out what the right thing to do with them actually is...and of course, but of course, being a man, he's not about to admit that he might be wrong to anyone (like Bobby, when Bobby might criticize John's decisions).
