David Boyle's Take on Family Day: Balancing Parenting and Sanity
You need a big community to raise kids. You need a lot of family and friends around as a buffer between you and murdering the kids, because if it's just you and the kids in the house, eventually there's gonna be murder or you just sit them on a fucking ipad for hours a day.
Parenting can be a wild ride, and comedian David Boyle isn’t afraid to share his unfiltered thoughts on it. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', Boyle dives into the chaos of family day, explaining why too much time with family can drive you up the wall. He hilariously argues that a big community is essential for raising kids—think of it as a buffer zone to keep you from losing your cool.
Boyle draws from his experiences in India, where multiple layers of family and friends help keep things balanced. He also touches on the tricky task of finding kid-friendly entertainment, giving a humorous nod to the Indian version of Time Zone. This episode offers a raw, honest look at the ups and downs of family life and parenting. If you're navigating the world of sobriety and parenthood, or just need a good laugh, this one's for you.
