I Love My Kid, But...

188
Comedy #222

This is a safe place for parents to get away from it all. It’s a cliche that having kids is both the most rewarding and the hardest thing you’ll ever do. And it never ends: just when you’ve figured out how a newborn works, the kid becomes a toddler, then a tween, a teenager and beyond. And kids don’t come with an instruction manual or an off switch. Sure, you love your kids, best thing that ever happened to you blah blah blah, BUT…

Welcome to I Love My Kid, But… a weekly escape where comedians Megan Gailey, Kurt Braunohler, Chris Garcia and guests unload about the joys and challenges of being a parent, all the hell their kids put them through, and how they might reclaim some of the glory of their pre-parenting life. You might learn a few things about how to be a better parent along the way, but it’s more important that you get to laugh and enjoy three very funny people vent about parenthood with other moms and dads who “get it.” No child psychologists here, no educators, or noted experts… just three comedians embracing all the L’s they take on a daily basis and celebrating all the small victories that make it all worth it. And if one of them lets slip that they might’ve sent their kid to school without lunch because they stayed out the night before with their college friends WAY too late, that’s ok too. No judgment here.

  • YukioMachine
    Umm….what?!?! Big mistake by Wondery for canceling!
    This is/was a great podcast. One of the few I eagerly anticipated new episodes. If there’s a way to bring it back….please do.
  • Time on her hands...
    Where did it go???
    I’m super bummed to hear this got cancelled. As a parent this was greatly entertaining relatable content that I looked forward to!! Bring it back!
  • RowanCastle
    Why was this cancelled??
    Why on earth would Wondery cancel this?? It’s absolutely fantastic!! Genuinely belly-laugh inducing, with unexpected, uninhibited moments of vulnerability and strength. As a parent, this is the only parenting podcast I listened to, because I really need less advice and more solidarity in the struggle. Please, please bring it back.
  • TT_Mamaof2
    Bring the show back!

  • J.F.1983

  • Knut_Meg
    I can’t believe Wondery canceled this
    I finally felt seen as a mom of an insane sassy child! How dare Wondery cancel this gem of a show! They really made a bad decision canceling this! I’m so saddened to hear this Can Exactly Right buy it to bring it back?
  • angelica rain
    Best show ever !
    I hope they never stop making this!! Oh wait… wondry cancelled it and pulled the rug out from under us all. IM NOT EVEN A PARENT and I listened to this show every single week. BIG MISTAKE WONDRY… HUGE!!
  • Becca-saurus
    One of the best podcasts. Ever.
    Lord help me, I have 3 little boys with ADHD. Listening to podcasts on headphones while trying to survive somewhere between being my best parent self and half-assing it is literally the only self-care I do at this point in my life. I follow hundreds of podcasts. So believe me when I Say that “I love My Kid, But… “ is THE BEST PODCAST. I am so grateful for it, that I even took time to write a review. I don’t have time or energy to review anything, but KurtyB, Megan, and Chris make laugh so hard I cry and make my husband listen. So this is self-care for him too! Please bring it back. I need my weekly circle time. You don’t have to have kids to love this podcast. In fact, it will probably make you feel really great about all your life choices. And if you do have kids, this will speak to you on such a deep level that you will, if not forget how hard it is to be a parent, at least find immense joy in sharing the pain with others.

  • no-names-availible33785036

    What a great pod!! 3 amazing comedians. I hope this show comes back, I can’t believe it was discontinued 😭. I don’t even have kids, but I but love Kurty B, so gave this a listen. I would recommend to anyone and am sending to my siblings, who actually do have kids 😆

    I’m about to go full temper tantrum
    If this show isn’t returned to us. I’ve used up my gentleness on my kid. I don’t have any to give you, Wondery. DO NOT TAKE THIS FROM US. WE HAVE SO LITTLE.

    PLEASE BRING THIS PODCAST BACK!
    This podcast is (was) AMAZING! It’s funny and provides parents with a safe space to hear and share parenting stories without judgement, and to remind us we are all in this parenting journey together. The podcast is brilliantly put together…. The hosts are WONDERFUL and the guests are just as incredible. Please bring it back!!!

  • Sarah Wildlife
    Bring it back!
    As a new parent I love this podcast as it brought humor and validation to parenting rather than being another parenting advice podcast. I miss it and hope it comes back.
  • Wishingstr56
    Wondery messed up
    Too bad they cancelled a great show. Bad call.
  • StephanieMSG
    I’d like to put the cancellationof this show in timeout
    This podcast is a gem and the one thing I looked forward to on Mondays. So sad to hear it has been canceled. Wondery, you must to bring it back! The hosts are hilarious and brought so much joy and insight to the topic of parenting. IYKYK, parenting is hard. This hilarious podcast is exactly what a tired mama needs while washing bottles (or any mundane parenting task). Please bring them back.
  • Marholla
    Wondery just ruined my life
    This podcast was all I was looking forward to and now I’m sad. The world is grey. I can no longer look forward to this and it’s wondery’s fault. Thanks for nothing!
  • Map Man 2
    Bring it back!
    I love this podcast, bring it back! I look forward to listening to this podcast every Monday and have been missing it the last couple of weeks!
  • MdoBacon
    Quickly became a favorite
    What happened to this show? This show was a breath of fresh air, incredibly engaging and presented well. I’ve long been a fan of Kurt and Megan, and was thrilled to be introduced to Chris through the pod. I really miss it, devastated to hear that it’s been cancelled. Hope the hosts are able to continue on another network. I’m an avid podcast listener and this had quickly become a favorite of mine, I’d absolutely pay to subscribe.
  • MamaBoPeep
    Mondays Drive to work Podcast
    I loooove this podcast! I have suggested it to all my parent-friends. My husband and I listen to this every Monday morning on our drive to work!! We've been looking for new episodes and just realized Wondery canceled this podcast!!! I miss my friends, bring them back!
  • lauraceleste
    Great podcast for a new mom
    I’m a new mom and I love listening to this podcast. It helps me feel like I’m not alone in all the things being a parents brings plus adds some humor to my mom life. Thanks a lot for canceling it WONDERY, you are blind if you don’t see how awesome this podcast is 😡🤬😤BRING IT BACK.
  • eazeH
    It was canceled?! WHY
    I’m so sad I just found out they cancelled this pod. I looked forward to it every Monday and was wondering where they went just to come here and find out they’re canceled. Sad day, this was my favorite part of mondays.
  • JAJ623
    Canceled??
    Why on earth would Wondery cancel this delightful podcast?? I looked forward to this every Monday and was so confused when it didn’t show up in my feed last week. This is a real bummer, and a huge mistake on Wondery’s part. Maybe I Love My Kid will move over to Exactly Right (so glad they are not involved with Wondery any more!)
  • ashleyk91
    don’t cancel
    was this podcast really cancelled ? WHY I NEED IT i’m so sad
  • writergirl_xx
    Wondery is the worst
    I rarely write reviews, but felt compelled to because Wondery, in its infinite lack of wisdom, cancelled this fantastic podcast after less than a year! Most of my friends don’t have kids at this point, so listening to this podcast is the closest I get to regular get togethers with parent friends. The only thing I didn’t love was how short the episodes were, and even then, it’s still relatable because how often do parents have to rush through meet ups with friends to get their kids down for a nap or to their next activity? There are other wonderful parenting podcasts out there, but none quite like this show. If podcasts can move to other networks, I hope another one picks it up.
  • ADeulley
    Incredible!
    This is so fun and well done! I can’t believe it’s been cancelled!!! Devastating move, Wondery. I’m so sad.
