Continuing our entertainment-themed episodes this week, today we complain about TV shows that overlook certain types of moms and families--the types we are. We have some ideas for you, network execs.

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, we kicked off two new series watches. From The Gilded Age, we jumped to another costume drama: Season 2 of Bridgerton. It's starting strong with the two romantic leads facing about 8 episodes of obstacles. Next: "Off to the Races" (S2E1).We also started The Afterparty, a comedic locked-room murder mystery (a la Knives Out) starring a very funny Tiffany Haddish and also featuring some of our old pals, like Ben Schwartz (Jean-Ralphio from Parks & Recreation) and Tiya Sircar (Vicky from The Good Place). Next week: "Brett."

It's just Terri and Catherine this week, so we're jumping off our entertainment-themed Round 2s to bring you a week of pop-culture inspired discussions. Today, we're talking about times we've experienced social maneuvering a la Mrs. Russell in The Gilded Age.

We recall some shocking plot developments that took us by surprise ... and mourn the fact that watching things months after the fact on our DVRs means it's hard to be shocked anymore. Mentioned: The Extra Hot Great Canon episode on a Melrose Place twist [http://previously.tv/extra-hot-great/ehg-082/].

Parents, trust us when we tell you we would rather listen to your child's tantrum than your cringe-y baby talk. We usually try to show solidarity with other moms and dads, but it turns out this is where we draw the line.

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, two very practical picks: Terri's rainbow-colored accordion file [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08M43R3YQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?th=1] is keeping her receipts organized (and off the dining room table). and Catherine's white noise machine [https://www.amazon.com/Marpac-Machine-Non-Looping-Privacy-Therapy/dp/B07TK18KC2/] is keeping her sleep environment quiet.

Monday's episode covered our big kids' finances, and today we're obsessing about their health. How much of their appointments, bills, questions, and concerns should they handle on their own, and how much can we butt in?

It's a dinner-table dilemma: How to teach kids the manners they need for the real world when they're mostly in the at-home bubble, where burping at the table and eating with your fingers can be easily overlooked.

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, we finished up The Gilded Age season 1 with a triumphant ball and some (but not all) secrets revealed. These were an especially fun and frothy pair of episodes to close out the season and leave us looking forward to what we assume is the inevitable season 2.Also mentioned: Our discussions of the past two Best Picture winners, CODA [https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/what-were-watching-making-it-and-coda] and Nomadland [https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/what-were-watching-nomadland-and-veronica-mars-spring-break-forever]. We clearly know how to pick 'em, so stay tuned for 2023!For next week, we'll switch to an even frothier costume drama: Bridgerton, season 2 (on Netflix), and a quirky comedic mystery (reminiscent of our past pick Only Murders in the Building): The Afterparty on AppleTV+.

When kids are little, it's simple: Parents pay (and pay, and pay) for everything. But as they grow, the financial situation gets a little more fuzzy. What's a need, what's a want, and who covers the cost?
