This week comedian Adam Cayton-Holland joins Megan, Chris, and Kurt. They love their kids, BUT…parents are allowed to have a favorite child (admit it, we all do) but who gave them the right to have a favorite parent!? Megan got one little illness that put her out of commission for a few days and all of the sudden she’s knocked down the parental ranking board by her son. She’ll do anything to be numero uno again, but even after going into action-movie-star mode to save her son’s life from a wild coyote, all the thanks she can get is “Da da!” Adam readily admits that his wife is the preferred parent for his two boys and he tries to not take it personally. But he does savor the small victories even if it is just his kids leveraging their love to get what they want. Your kids may not appreciate you, but you are all OUR preferred parents!
