Weekly Roundup: New Format, Dorm Decor, "The Afterparty," "Brothers & Sisters," Baby Lit, and the Same Old Same Old

Parenting Roundabout

Welcome to Parenting Roundabout 5.0! (4.0? 6.0? Who knows!) Now that we are just a duo, and the last of our collective children has turned 18, we're going to discuss parenting in a more roundabout way. Each week, we'll bring you:

• Parenting chat and updates, since parenting never ends. This week: a new driver and dorm décor.
• What we're watching, a continuation of our Round 2 episodes. This week: The Afterparty, season 2, episodes 1 and 2 ("Aniq: The Sequel" and "Grace") and Brothers & Sisters, season 2, episode 13 ("Separation Anxiety").
• Catherine's library finds, a new segment highlighting some of the interesting and unusual items that Catherine encounters at her workplace. This week: Les Miserables, a BabyLit French Language Primer.
• What were we talking about?, a stroll through our extensive archives. This week: Kids and money—some things never change—with stops at 5 Ways to Annoy Teens and Young Adults (July 21, 2022); The Slow, Bumpy Road to Independence (July 22, 2020); and Kids and Money, Money, Money (July 22, 2016).

We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E3 of The Afterparty ("Travis") and S2 E14 of Brothers and Sisters ("Double Negative"). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the archives await you!
