On Second-Listen Saturday, we share some fun moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure.

Your kid made the team—hooray! Your family is putting loads of money and time into making your athlete successful—yay! go! And then the coach bullies your child in a way you wouldn't tolerate from any other human on the planet. Do you quietly take one for the team? Or do you become That Parent who people will later say ruined it for everyone?

We're so glad to be past the Classroom Valentines stage of life, but we still have plenty of suggestions for how Valentine's Day could be improved. For one thing, let's keep kids out of it!

We complain about ghosting (new name, old phenomenon) but also concede that sometimes, we'd like an "unfollow" feature IRL.

With both of our TV watches over (sniff), we've lined up two replacements. First up, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, a high-concept drama that involved enough singing, dancing, and Mary Steenburgen to convince us to watch episode 2 ("Zoey's Extraordinary Best Friend").

​And then, to fill the Kristen Bell-shaped hole in our hearts now that The Good Place is over, we're watching Veronica Mars (set in the pretty bad place of Neptune, California). If you missed this dark teen detective drama the first time around, join us now. We're also listening to an accompanying podcast, Veronica Mars Investigations. Next week: "Credit Where Credit's Due."

When we read this list of 7 Things Moms of Teens Don't Give a Crap About, we discovered we actually still do give a crap—especially when it comes to being friendly with our kids' friends.

On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.

On Second-Listen Saturday, we share some fun moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure.

Our podcast is dedicated to the topics parents complain about, so we thought we’d discuss what can happen when you’re just overwhelmed with how much work parenting can be — physically, logistically, emotionally. Do you ever feel burned out as a parent? Are you already weeping in a dark room while you listen to this? Us too.

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Catherine makes the case for checking luggage when you fly (mentioned: her shout-out of Wheresmysuitcase.com). Nicole has another funny Instagram account for us: Influencers in the Wild. And Terri's sipping her coffee-and-apple-cider substitute, Celestial Seasonings Cinnamon Apple Spice Herbal Tea.

Just about any reality competition or game show would be way more challenging if you had kids in tow, so shouldn't we be earning cash prizes and bedroom sets for everything we do each day?
