Summary

This week, comedian and actor Ron Funches joins Megan, Chris, & Kurt. They love their kids….BUT parenting with your partner is hard enough, how the hell are you supposed to do it on your own!? Well it helps when you can just leave your kid with a bunch of strangers while you grab a beer at the bar! Plus Ron Funches, who is a newly solo-parent, talks about the challenges of raising two sons that are nearly 20 years apart in age and why it turns out Bonnaroo might be “too adult” for a 12 year old. And the crew has some choice words for coyotes and the torture that is applying sunscreen to your kids every 80 minutes.

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 [email protected]. Just don't forget to start your story with, “I love my kid, but…” and maybe we'll use yours on air!
