Roundabout Roundup: Candle Warmer Lamp, Niimbot Label Maker, Liddle Griddle

4/28/2023

0 Comments

 
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Catherine was influenced by Sherry at Young House Love to buy her daughter a candle warmer lamp. Nicole's labeling everything in sight with her Niimbot label maker, and Terri's fostering independence with the Liddle Griddle, which is perfect for grilled cheese sandwiches (and maybe also for pancakes).
​

Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.

Generation Gaps

A New York Times newsletter item suggesting that today's adult kids are doing better than their parents think they are got us obsessing about what it really means to be independent and launch into the world, both today and in past generations.

Tensions and Transitions

4/26/2023

0 Comments

 
A Psychology Today article about sources of tension between adult children and their parents got us complaining about our old friends, the listicle and the alleged expert, along with the fact that parenting adult children is just as hard (if not harder) than parenting little ones.

What We’re Watching: Ted Lasso “Sunflowers” and Brothers and Sisters “An American Family”

4/25/2023

0 Comments

 
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, the Ted Lasso crew goes on a somewhat trippy trip to Amsterdam. The players vow to stick together as a team, but everyone else is isolated in their own storyline. We'd like some ensemble back in this ensemble show, please! Next (in two weeks): Season 3, episodes 7 and 8. Mentioned: The "Beard After Dark" episode from season 2; reviews/commentary from Linda Holmes and the Fug Girls; the immersive Van Gogh exhibit.

On Brothers and Sisters, Justin is home from Iraq and trying to recuperate from a serious injury with his mother hovering, while Sarah and Joe split for good. The best thing about this episode is the appearance of Denis O'Hare as the senator's campaign manager. Next (in two weeks, as Terri will be recovering from surgery next week--sadly without a Nora to take care of her): season 2, episode 3, "History Repeating."

Second-Listen Saturday: Disappointing Kids' Activities

4/22/2023

0 Comments

 
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from July 2019.
​
In this episode, we complain about all those sports, activities, camps, and classes that we thought would be the answer to our prayers, but fell short (sometimes, way short). Who knew trying to help our kids find their passion and their tribe would be so hard?

Roundabout Roundup: Corkcicle Water Bottles, Thank You for Listening, and Marcel the Shell With Shoes On

4/21/2023

0 Comments

 
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Nicole's marveling at the power of her Corkcicle water bottle. Terri enjoyed the story, writing, and narration, all by Julia Whelan, of Thank You for Listening (Whelan also narrated another of our past Roundup items, Flying Solo by Linda Holmes). And Catherine recommends Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, a charming, bittersweet, family-friendly movie.
​

Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
