I'm the one who's feeling uncomfortable. It had nothing to do with my kid. I was sending my wife messages saying: listen, I think this is the one you need to take him to. I don't think this is my vibe. And she thought I was joking, so she sent back, ha, ha, ha, ha ha, I'm like no, I'm not joking, but I stayed and I tried to psychologically work out what was going on with me, because if my son doesn't give a fuck, then why am I so concerned?
Picture this: comedian David Boyle, a father, finds himself nervously enrolling his son in acrobatics classes. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', Boyle dives into the emotional rollercoaster of confronting his own insecurities and gender stereotypes. As the only boy in a sea of girls, his son becomes the catalyst for Boyle’s self-reflection on non-judgmental parenting.
With his trademark humor, Boyle unpacks the complexities of projecting adult fears onto children and the importance of letting kids explore their interests, no matter how unconventional they may seem. Through laughter and candid storytelling, Boyle reveals how this experience taught him invaluable lessons about parenting, acceptance, and the power of embracing the unknown. Tune in for a mix of humor and heartfelt moments that remind us all of the beauty in letting go of our preconceived notions.
