On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Catherine shouts out Edmund Unravels by Andrew Kolb, a children's book with an unlikely hero. Nicole's learning new things with the Imprint app, and Terri's fandoms unite in the song "Taylor Swift" by Walker Hayes.
​
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.

Attendance Is Mandatory (Maybe)

6/29/2023

0 Comments

 
An article in which a mom claimed to "never" force her kids to attend family events got us obsessing about the precarious balancing act of good manners, familial duty, and kids' autonomy.

Gift-Giving and Social Media

6/28/2023

0 Comments

 
After noticing an uptick of requests for gifts on social media (and car windows), we mildly complain about this practice, which is really just the millennial version of sending out formal announcements for life events.

What We’re Watching: Primo “The Carnival” and “The Candy Bar” and Brothers and Sisters “Feast of Epiphany”

6/27/2023

0 Comments

 
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, we're still charmed by Primo (performances, relationships, plots―all of it!) and already sad about the fact that there are only two episodes left in this season: E7, "The Recruitment Fair," and E8, "What?"

It's status quo, too, on Brothers and Sisters, as a family dinner turns into a litany of secrets revealed in front of an unsuspecting potential romantic partner. These people will never learn. Next: S2 E11, "The Missionary Imposition" (groan).

On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from September 2019.
​

​ We follow up last week's food fight chat with more on WW (formerly known as WeightWatchers): How it works (or doesn't) for us, how it could be improved, and how in the world they thought "WW for kids" was a good idea.

Quitting Time

6/22/2023

0 Comments

 
It's a fact of parenting life: Kids try things, and they quit things. With the benefit of hindsight, we obsessed about all the trying and quitting our kids have done over the years, and how they feel about it now.

Anti-Dopamine Parenting

6/21/2023

0 Comments

 
An article on NPR caught our eye with the promising title "Anti-dopamine parenting can curb a kid's craving for screens or sweets." (Can it also curb an adult's craving, we wondered?) The advice within is quite reasonable, but we still managed to complain about how when our kids were little, we didn't even have screens for them to crave. Mentioned: A screen-free activity that held a toddler's attention for a solid hour.
