On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, our fave families are fighting. On One Day at a Time, Schneider's mustache-twirling father came to visit, with possibly disastrous consequences. And on West Wing, CJ and Abbey sparred over how to manage President Bartlet's condition.
Next week: "A Penny and a Nicole" on One Day at a Time, and we'll skip West Wing and try out the new show Fosse/Verdon on FX.

On this week's Round 1, we're talking about an article that outlines some of the roles parents need to play to help kids thrive (it's an interview with the coauthor of a new book, The Formula: Unlocking the Secrets to raising Highly Successful Children.) We've performed them all, and have several to add to the list.
On this week's Roundabout Roundup: Terri's listening to Jonathan Coulton's "Some Guys" album. Nicole's following an Instagram account that matches her PG-rated mood (see yesterday's podcast). Catherine's just enjoying some awkwardly named soup, which Nicole fears might be packed with sodium.
As always, we thank Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
First we were obsessed with the college application process, then those who cheated on that process. Now, we're wondering how the heck anyone could pay for college once they do get in.
On today's Round 3, we complain about people who doubt our kids' abilities. And then we complain about ourselves for caring so much about proving them wrong.
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, two Very Special Episodes of TV. One Day at a Time's "Anxiety" was a well-done depiction of how anxiety really feels. And on The West Wing, we're back on the campaign trail in a documentary-style ep called "King Corn."
Next week: "The Man" on One Day at a Time and "The Wake Up Call" on The West Wing.
On Round 1 this week, we're talking about apologies. It's not so simple to help our kids learn when and how to say "sorry," especially if we want them to mean it. It turns out, we don't actually care that much about sincerity.
On this week's Roundabout Roundup: Terri has some encouraging words for parents of special needs every day on Soundcloud. Nicole is working on a new collaborative project called Inclusion from Square One, and Catherine recommends the National Museum of the Air Force in Dayton, Ohio to all aviation buffs, or parents of them.
As always, we thank Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
We're still obsessing about college over here, because Nicole's daughter is in the thick of decision time and Catherine's is not far behind. How can you blame us, when the whole process is so inscrutable?
We complain about a kid being rejected for a credit card (come on, Kohl's! Otherwise, we love you!) and discuss how and when they should start building that all-important credit history. Mentioned: The "I have a credit card" scene from The Sure Thing.
