You don't just have kids, you don't just have kids with anyone. Do you know how fucking sure you've got to be about the person you're about to have kids with, even if there is a fucking speck, even a quarter of doubt about the person you're with, do not have fucking kids, because it's not going to last.
Ever wondered if having kids is really all it's cracked up to be? Comedian David Boyle tackles this and more in his episode 'Day 258 - Don't Have Kids' from the podcast 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. With his signature humor and candidness, Boyle dives into the complexities of relationships, parenting, and the reality of weed addiction. He kicks off with a story about a friend who's quit smoking weed for the umpteenth time and is now considering having kids.
Boyle warns him—and all of us—about the importance of being absolutely sure before taking that plunge. Even a sliver of doubt about your partner is a big red flag, according to Boyle. He paints a vivid picture of the challenges that come with parenting, comparing dads to overworked laborers and moms to CEOs. The idea that kids bring couples closer? Boyle debunks it, suggesting instead that parents often end up feeling like employees to their children.
The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like getting back with an ex. Boyle shares some cringe-worthy tales of people who tried to rekindle old flames, only to find themselves in even messier situations. He emphasizes that staying together just because you dislike each other less than you dislike others is a recipe for disaster. Boyle also touches on the harsh realities of broken homes, sharing his observations from growing up around various family dynamics.
He gives a heartfelt nod to single moms, acknowledging the incredible challenges they face—a perspective he admits he didn't fully appreciate when he was younger. With a mix of humor and raw honesty, Boyle's reflections on these life issues are both entertaining and thought-provoking. Whether you're navigating parenthood, dealing with relationship woes, or just looking for a good laugh, this episode has something for you.
