Episode 84: Grossed Out and Underwhelmed

This week's group chat is rated E for ewwwww as we talk about all those gross things we're called on to handle as moms, from head lice to snot to diapers to a long night with four rotavirus-afflicted family members and one bathroom. If that's already more than you wanted to think about, you might want to fast-forward to about the ten-minute mark, where we switch to the topic of things everybody else thinks are great ideas and we're kind of meh about, from drinking wine in Target to lauding school attendance to kicking the kids out of the nest. Finally, we share the things we are legitimately enthusiastic about this week: Catherine gives us something new to worry about with an article on super lice from Gabby at Design Mom; Amanda wants you to know that the American Academy of Pediatrics gives no-nits policies a big meh; Terri shares a no no-nits article of her own plus some tips on smothering those bugs; and for something completely different, Nicole recommends an online presentation about adapting curriculum.

Thanks as always to Jon Morin for editing our episodes, and to Kristin Eredics for our happy in-and-out music. If you're reading this somewhere without hyperlinks, come to http://parentingroundabout.com for the full recap experience.
