Comedian and new mom Whitney Cummings has discovered what she calls a “game changer” in the parenting world – the humble cassette player. In a recent Instagram post featuring adorable snapshots of her baby, Cummings shared this unconventional parenting hack with her followers.
“Big Baby lately. Toddler hack: cassette player – trust me,” Cummings wrote in her Instagram post. With characteristic humor, she added, “You may be out on an FBI list or something but it’s a game changer.” The post included several heartwarming photos of Cummings with her baby, showcasing intimate moments of their life together.
The images reveal sweet interactions between mother and child, including shots of the baby playing, Cummings holding her little one, and candid moments that give followers a glimpse into her new life as a mom.
While she didn’t elaborate on how cassette players benefit toddlers, the pictures suggest her child enjoys fiddling with the gadget. It also points to a growing trend of parents turning to “analog” entertainment options to limit screen time. Cassette players offer tactile interaction and simplicity that modern digital devices often lack, potentially helping with development while keeping little ones engaged.
The comedian also used the post to announce her packed upcoming tour schedule, listing several stops across the United States. “See you next weekend Kentucky, Indy, then Tennessee Vegas Philly Virginia New Orleans Arkansas etc etc ❤️,” she wrote, indicating a busy performance calendar in the coming months.
This isn’t the first time Cummings has shared her journey balancing motherhood with her demanding tour schedule. In a previous post, she humorously noted, “Not ideal that I travel so much my son thinks luggage is called mama but he’s gonna come with me on some tour dates don’t call cps.” The comedian has been open about bringing her child on certain tour dates, giving fans insights into how she manages her dual roles.
In another recent post, Cummings encouraged moms to bring their teenagers to her shows, promising, “We will give them all the advice so you don’t have to be the bad guy.” Her content consistently addresses parenting challenges with her trademark humor.
Cummings, 41, has been sharing glimpses of her life as a new mother since welcoming her first child. Last year, the comedian announced she had given birth to a son. While she keeps some aspects of her motherhood journey private, she regularly posts updates that resonate with her parent followers.
Her parenting content often includes practical tips mixed with humor. In another recent Instagram post, she recommended a different toy that “gets you off your phone so nobody falls down the stairs,” highlighting her practical approach to the challenges of early parenthood. The comedian appears to be embracing motherhood fully while maintaining her career momentum. Her posts frequently show her with her baby, whom she affectionately calls “munchkin” and “Big Baby.”
Known for her sharp comedic takes on relationships and social dynamics, Cummings has now added parenting humor to her repertoire. Her willingness to share the joys and challenges of motherhood has resonated with fans, particularly those who appreciate her unfiltered approach.
Cummings, who created and starred in the NBC series “Whitney” and co-created the CBS sitcom “2 Broke Girls,” has built a career on honest, sometimes uncomfortable comedy. This same candor now extends to her parenting content, where she offers unconventional advice like the cassette player tip.
As she continues her comedy tour across the country, fans can expect more insights into how she balances her thriving career with her new role as a mother. Whether sharing parenting hacks or making jokes about the realities of motherhood, Cummings brings her signature style to this new chapter of her life.
For those interested in seeing her live, her upcoming tour includes stops in Kentucky, Indianapolis, Tennessee, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Virginia, New Orleans, and Arkansas, with additional dates likely to be announced soon.
