A surprising weather event in Southern California got us talking about life experiences we, and our kids, have missed out on (or been spared from), like broken bones and sleeping under the stars.

On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
It's family birthday season for Catherine and Terri, and book launch season for Nicole, so it seems like a good time to review our celebration traditions, from ceremonial plates to congratulation cheesecakes to paying too much for dinner.
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from February 2019.
Kids thrive on routines, but so do parents. So today we're complaining about having to deal with changes to our daily habits—and the best ways to bug other people until they fix things.
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Nicole had us all drooling over the Baskin-Robbins Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Layered Sundae. Catherine went practical with her pick for KN95 masks from Bona Fide Masks. And Terri went cozy with a fleece blanket from L.L. Bean.
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
A Wall Street Journal article titled "College Students Have to Learn to Make Small Talk Again" got us obsessing about the ways social media. the ubiquity of smartphones, and of course a global pandemic have changed the ways people interact with others in public.
This week's complaint is about a mom-shaming incident we read about, in which an anonymous (cowardly!) neighbor told a mom to stop using her car as a baby sleep aid. We say, Let she who is carbon-neutral cast the first stone. Mentioned: The Snoo baby sleep solution from Dr. Harvey Karp (we're looking for an adult version, please).
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, the As We See It roommates continue to navigate family ties, friendship, and romance in episode 2, "When Violet Met Douglas." Next week, it's another Violet-titled episode, "The Violetini." Mentioned: A book about sex for young adults with disabilities.
On The Gilded Age, George Russell throws his money at a problem on behalf of his wife Bertha and we are just as impressed as Mrs. Astor (even if we didn't get the morning off like she did). Next: "Face the Music."
An article about an ingenious solution for parents juggling small children and work (or just Web surfing; here's a pic) got us talking about the ways in which we restrained our little ones when we needed to--and suffered when we couldn't.
On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
Gas line work in Terri's neighborhood and the need for a young fellow to come in the house and turn stuff off and on led her to wonder: Is it good manners to chat in a friendly way with workfolk in your home, or should you just shut up and leave them to do their thing? So of course, she checked in with Catherine and Nicole for a consensus.

If kids can sue their parents just for being born, do we need to be prepared to defend our every parenting decision in a court of law? If you'll all be on our jury, we'd feel better about it. |
