Description

This week comedians Randy and Jason Sklar join Megan, Chris, and Kurt. They love their kids, BUT…forget Bird-Magic or Yankees-Red Sox, nothing brings out the competitive spirit like a little sibling rivalry. This week is all about the pros and cons of encouraging competition in our kids. In Kurt’s house, it’s an old-fashioned race to see who can put their shoes on first. He is trying to teach his daughter, Olive, how to tie her shoes but entering the ring is challenger and younger brother Gus, who isn’t going to pass up the chance to prove that his shoe game is even tighter (even though they're just velcro, kiddo). The Sklar Brothers reminisce about their own upbringing and how, rather than compete against each other, their drive was used to push one another to excel and become famous comedians. But that success comes with a competitive price when their own kids want to stage hilarious family roast battles. Nothing like mom, dad, and the kids bonding over attempting to one-up each other in planting deep-seated hatred and installing a foundation for the years of therapy ahead. Game on!And remember, you can call our hotline and leave us questions, comments, or your own funny, totally anonymous “Circle Time” parenting story at 424-570-KIDS or you can email us at Ilovemykid@wondery.com.

This is a safe place for parents to get away from it all. It’s a cliche that having kids is both the most rewarding and the hardest thing you’ll ever do. And it never ends: just when you’ve figured out how a newborn works, the kid becomes a toddler, then a tween, a teenager and beyond. And kids don’t come with an instruction manual or an off switch. Sure, you love your kids, best thing that ever happened to you blah blah blah, BUT…Welcome to I Love My Kid, But… a weekly escape where comedians Megan Gailey, Kurt Braunohler, Chris Garcia and guests unload about the joys and challenges of being a parent, all the hell their kids put them through, and how they might reclaim some of the glory of their pre-parenting life. You might learn a few things about how to be a better parent along the way, but it’s more important that you get to laugh and enjoy three very funny people vent about parenthood with other moms and dads who “get it.” No child psychologists here, no educators, or noted experts… just three comedians embracing all the L’s they take on a daily basis and celebrating all the small victories that make it all worth it. And if one of them lets slip that they might’ve sent their kid to school without lunch because they stayed out the night before with their college friends WAY too late, that’s ok too. No judgment here.
