Viral Anti-Parenting Advice

1/23/2023

0 Comments

 
When we read some "anti-parenting advice" prompted by a viral Twitter thread, we had to talk about it. Is it any surprise to learn that just as we are anti a lot of parenting advice, we are also anti anti-parenting advice?

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

Roundabout Roundup: Catechism in a Year Podcast, BurgeonNest Pet Heating Pad, and a Laugh-Out-Loud Oral History

1/20/2023

0 Comments

 
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Terri's just one of many fans of Father Mike Schmitz's Catechism in a Year podcast. Nicole's caring for her local "community" cats with a cushy heated blanket. And all you need to know about the article Catherine's recommending is the title: An Oral History of the Time Six Doctors Swallowed Lego Heads to See How Long They'd Take to Poo.

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

Next-Level Kid Surveillance

1/19/2023

0 Comments

 
Last week, we talked about parents using baby monitors to supervise big kids. Then we heard about a mom who tracked her kid down in cyberspace--not to quit playing games, but to defrost a lasagna for dinner. Brilliant!

Who Are You Calling ‘Mature’?

1/18/2023

0 Comments

 
On today's episode, we're complaining about Facebook's algorithm serving us up ads for clothing and shoes "for mature women." Listen, just because we like comfortable, roomy clothes and some nice arch support doesn't mean we are old!

What We’re Watching: The Lost City and Brothers and Sisters “Family Day”

1/17/2023

0 Comments

 
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, we caught up with the Sandra Bullock-Channing Tatum rom-com The Lost City, a delightful tropical adventure (ancient parchment! a volcano! leeches on someone's very attractive butt!). 

Then we moved to the also beautiful setting of Justin's rehab facility in Brothers and Sisters, for some family squabbling right in front of Justin's peers and therapist. Good times! Next: S1 E12, "Sexual Politics." We'll also check out NBC's reboot of Night Court. Don't make us regret it, NBC.

After reading the life advice Sahil Bloom collected from 90-year-olds (found via Liz Gumbinner's Substack), we talked about what advice made sense to us, what scared us, and what we're already doing (*pats self on back*).

Second-Listen Saturday: Dad Shaming

1/14/2023

0 Comments

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

A recent poll of dads finds that many of them feel "shamed" by comments about their parenting. We say "hey, that's our turf! Move along!" And also, we prefer to call it "educating" instead of "shaming."
