Summary

This week comedian Al Madrigal joins Megan, Chris, and Kurt. They love their kids, BUT...why is it easier to come up with a make-believe demon that will punish your kid if they don’t behave rather than just asking them to simply stop doing something? Chris prefers to communicate directly and honestly with his daughter when she’s doing something wrong. At the same time, his mother leans into fantastical threats and absurd, never-going-to-happen punishments to get results. And because parenting is a results-based business, Chris is a bit conflicted about which method works best. As someone with grown children, Al Madrigal brings a much-needed veteran presence to the I Love My Kid, But… locker room and imparts some wise advice for the parenting rookies; like encouraging them to be dorks, play a weird sport, and know how to order a vodka and soda without embarrassing yourself. And honestly, that’s what we all need to hear right now.
