​New parents today have access to tons of cool gear we never got to use, and we’re sad about that. But we're also complaining about what our own parents had that we didn't.

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Terri's enjoying an innovation in school band concerts that cuts an interminable evening down to a crisp 3 minutes[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g-w-ycY5QE]. Nicole's trying a bubble wrap-style sensory toy [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B092QGRT45/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1], and Catherine is admiring the peonies in her yard [https://www.thespruce.com/peony-plants-perennials-2132560].

Last month, we shouted out our moms [https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/happy-mothers-day-mom]. So with Father's Day approaching, it's our dads' turn, as we tell you a little bit about the fathers who raised us. (Father's Day isn't until June 20, so you still have time to pick up your golf- or barbecue-themed card.)

We'd like to share some of the movies and TV shows we used to love with our kids. But some of it hasn't aged well, and some of it was scary then and is scary now. But the biggest problem is that it's associated with us. So embarrassing!!!​

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, we caught up with the Friends reunion show and got a case of whiplash in the process. It was quite a grab bag of segments, emotions, guest stars, costumes, and other miscellany.

On Veronica Mars, the concern is not whiplash but decapitation, as episode 2 of season 4 brought us our second severed head. We're hoping that's it, although we wouldn't be opposed to Alonzo and Dodie teaming up with Clyde and Nicole to take out some Fitzpatricks.

Round 2 will return on June 22 with the HBO Max movie Let Them All Talk and Veronica Mars ​"Keep Calm and Party On."

Schools often teach teens important life skills like cooking and how to manage money. But we think they should also teach "How to advocate for yourself when your insurance company pulls a fast one" and "how to tell which YouTube fix-it video is legit."

Recently, we talked seriously about some possible additions to valedictorian in honoring high-school seniors [https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/speed-round-sunday-beyond-valedictorians]. Today, we take a lighter look, prompted by former teacher Nicole who has been making her list.​

​We had to comment on an article in which a mom claims not to miss even a minute of her kids' baby and toddler days [https://www.scarymommy.com/why-i-dont-miss-having-little-kids/]. Mentioned: Our speed round on revisiting our younger selves.

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Catherine is shouting out a company that was an early adopter of podcast advertising: Third Love and its very comfy bras and lounge wear [https://www.thirdlove.com/]. Terri finds the iOS app Scrap Paper super useful [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/scrap-paper/id1449110504], and Nicole's been converted to the wonder of cord organization with cable clips by her techie daughter [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NVKHLP8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1].

Nicole's on a Mom Strike, and it's not working out so well. As fellow members of the Mom Union, we stand in solidarity with her in this time of need. (Also, someone please make her a sandwich and deliver it to her office.)
