Color Saturation and Hue: Color choices are excellent, especially the play on blue and yellow making green. Saturation is good, could even go a bit more on the shirts. Hues are accurate as evidenced in the skin tones.
Brightness and contrast: Nothing is overly bright, highlights are not blown out. (the math signs are very bright though, more on that later) I like the dark black of the background. As you have already noted,the lighting is a little bit harsh. But you can work with what you have at hand. Reading your comments, it appears you were quite creative with the limited resources.
Focus and depth of field: Focus is good, but seems like it could be a tiny bit sharper. Depth of field is very good.
I would have liked this a little better with a wider crop on the left, as she is cut off by the edge of the image. The girls blue shirt seems to have some sort of processing effect along the lower edge. (Doesn't look like shadow.) I think also choosing a different color for the math symbols might have worked a bit better. The biggest issue for me, is that the equals sign is so bright and so strong that it keeps drawing the eye to the dark area in the middle of the photo.
I like that their son is covering his face. It adds a touch of humor to the image, and fits in well with the broad smiles of his parents.
All in all a cute, humerous photo.
