It’s true that Lou Sedaris is quite supportive, as evidenced by the unyielding way he encourages his children even when they’re clearly terrible at music. However, this support has a relatively narrow scope, as Lou focuses primarily on encouraging his children to pursue
his passion, not theirs. As a result, Sedaris and his sisters don’t necessarily benefit as much as they could from their father’s support, since they have no interest in excelling in music in the first place.
