On Parenting Roundabout's weekly roundup this week, we chat about the generational divide when it comes to laptop stickers (Terri's sticking with Gelaskins, but Catherine's pondering some individual stickers, like a young person).

What we're watching: We continue with The Afterparty's "Travis," a film noir from the POV of Grace's ex, hat-wearing Travis. Then, on Brothers & Sisters, the Secret Sister plot that drove the story from almost the very first episode is upended, leaving us wondering what we've been doing this whole time.

Catherine's library find brings us to the world of Amish romance novels and mysteries. Who knew? Wanda Brunstetter, for one; she's written over 100 novels set in the Amish world.

In the archives, we revisit chats on competitive mom bragging (July 24, 2019), shared responsibility for projects (July 27, 2022), and family bonding (July 27, 2020).

We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E4 of The Afterparty ("Hannah") and S2 E15 of Brothers and Sisters ("Moral Hazard"). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the archives await you!
