Our thoughts on what's overrated cover rather a lot of ground: Beaches. Amusement parks. Water parks. Camping. Leaving the house ever.
Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed episode: 00:32 Dancing with the Stars: It's the semi-finals, and two stars are eliminated—one deserving and one maybe not so (but we have a theory about why it's legit). Next week: The finale! 16:10 Dancing with the Stars Juniors: No one listens to us, so another cute child is sent home. At least this one maintains a stiff upper lip. Next week: "Giving Thanks." 21:22 The Good Place: The flashbacks in "The Worst Possible Use of Free Will" make us nostalgic for good old Neighborhood 12358W. Next week: "Don't Let the Good Life Pass You By." 25:26 The West Wing: Here (in "Gaza"), the flashbacks are far from happy. At least the season is almost over? Next week: The season finale, "Memorial Day." Our entertainment-themed Round 2 will come to you tomorrow, so today we offer an entertainment-themed Speed Round: What is the last movie you watched? (Terri's is Lady Bird, and you can hear her thoughts about it on this July Round 2.) 00:27 California Here We Come: Catherine and her daughter headed to sunny SoCal for a skating competition, and Nicole gets to come and watch. 05:25 Hometown Connections: While Terri has lived in New Jersey for many years, she grew up in Thousand Oaks, California, which was hit with two tragedies last week. We discussed how connected we are to our hometowns, and how that looks for our kids too. 26:20 Speed Round: Helping Hands: When a friend is in crisis, how do we help? Casseroles, gift cards, maybe just a lot of behind-the-scenes worrying? 37:56 Roundabout Roundup: Something Rotten! on tour; the Panera Bread app; Solebon solitaire app. 45:54 Shameless Self-Promotion: Catherine on Facebook; a new post at Parenting Isn't Pretty; "4 Things that Every School Needs to Make Inclusion Work." Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music. If you're reading this somewhere without hyperlinks, come to http://parentingroundabout.com for the full recap experience. None of us is an avid chef, but we are all very happy to eat delicious-smelling desserts, bread, and bacon. Terri's a writer through and through, so her favorite subject won't surprise you. But Nicole's and Catherine's might. Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed episode: 00:30 Dancing with the Stars: On Country Night, it's a double-elimination do-si-do. 12:11 The Good Place: "A Fractured Inheritance" finds both Eleanor and Tahani reckoning with their childhoods. 17:16 The West Wing: When there's "No Exit" from the White House, people stop being polite and start getting real. Next week, we'll discuss Dancing with the Stars (senior and junior editions), and the latest episodes in our Good Place and West Wing watches. 00:30 Busted: It was bound to happen sooner or later: Nicole's daughter calls her out after a comment on Instagram. 11:25 Career Check-In: Nicole is embarking on a new career, Catherine is pondering a switch from freelance to staff work, and Terri just works all. the. time. 37:58 Speed Round: Senior Quotes: Our recent discussion on yearbooks touched on this topic, so we ask: What would your quote have been back then, and what would it be now? 42:00 Roundabout Roundup: Chewy.com, 1800PetMeds.com, Straight No Chaser, and a weighted blanket. 47:27 Shameless Self-Promotion: The Inclusive Class on Facebook, "What Little Kids' Early Spelling Reveals," and a new post at Parenting Isn't Pretty.
