On this week's Round 3, our complaint is with kids who suddenly need essentials like salt, black shoes, and Revolutionary War-era costumes at the eleventh hour. (And we have some suggested solutions for the business world.) For quotes, archives, and more, visit us at http://parentingroundabout.com.

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, we enjoyed the Valentine's Day fun on “One Day at a Time”; it was our favorite episode of the season thus far. On “The West Wing,” new "couple" Josh Lyman and Congressman "Call me Matt!" Santos kicked off campaign season with much bantering and bickering. Next week: "The First Time" on “One Day at a Time” and "365 Days" on “The West Wing.” For quotes, archives, and more, visit us at http://parentingroundabout.com.

We just talked about college decisions (http://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/kids-and-rejection-college-acceptance-edition) last week, but we had to revisit the topic after the Operation Varsity Blues scandal broke. Could it lead to more transparency in the admissions process? Mentioned: Felicity Huffman on “Sports Night.” (http://parentingroundabout.libsyn.com/round-2-two-podcasts-and-a-sitcom) For quotes, archives, and more, visit us at http://parentingroundabout.com.

On today's Roundabout Roundup, Catherine recaps her trip to the “Fixer-Upper” mecca (https://magnolia.com/) in Waco, Texas (mentioned: Chip Gaines' book, “Capital Gaines,” https://amzn.to/2NR3PpI). Nicole shares a Twitter customer service victory (thanks, @Dickeys), and Terri built us our very own Amazon shop at https://www.amazon.com/shop/mamatude! Also mentioned: 4 Things with Amy Brown podcast (https://www.iheart.com/podcast/834-4-things-with-amy-brown-30156363/). For quotes, archives, and more, visit us at http://parentingroundabout.com.

Today's obsession is sleep, and whether our kids are getting enough of it. Because when the kids aren't sleeping, neither are the mothers. It's quite the vicious cycle. For quotes, archives, and more, visit us at http://parentingroundabout.com.

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, “One Day at a Time” serves up a classic sitcom plot in "Nip It in the Bud" (but at least the episode follows logically from the previous one). On “The West Wing,” the change that was a-comin' (http://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/a-new-season-and-a-promise-of-change) is here, and we are here for it—despite the grammatically incorrect title "Faith Based Initiative." Next week: "One Valentine's Day at a Time" on “One Day at a Time” and "Opposition Research" on “The West Wing.” For quotes, archives, and more, visit us at http://parentingroundabout.com.

Whether we watched him on “Beverly Hills 90210” in our college days, “John from Cincinnati” (http://parentingroundabout.libsyn.com/round-2-dwts-live-the-west-wing-and-john-from-cincinnati) in the more recent past, or “Riverdale” today, Luke Perry was a part of our pop culture life. So today we're talking about what he, and his death, means to us. For quotes, archives, and more, visit us at http://parentingroundabout.com.

On today's Roundabout Roundup, Terri's shouting out her public library's (http://www.cliftonpl.org/clifton-library-about/clifton-library-wireless-printing) handy-dandy printing service. Nicole has revamped and relaunched her professional website (https://www.nicoleeredics.com/), powered by Weebly (https://www.weebly.com/), and Catherine just wants you to be comfy in this ridiculous hoodie (https://thecomfy.com/).

With her daughter off to college soon, Nicole is obsessed with teaching independence and life skills. Terri and Catherine offer advice, despite having yet to push any of their children out of the nest. For quotes, archives, and more, visit us at http://parentingroundabout.com.
