Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a (negative) patron review of Deadpool vs. Wolverine, which was seconded by another patron. While you shouldn't leave bookmarks, personal items, garbage, or messages in your returned library materials, your library workers do secretly love the messages.
Terri's random recommendation is a little piece of news that maybe you missed: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged, following her delightful appearance on the Kelce brothers' New Heights podcast.
In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2022 on quiet quitting as a parent.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast. I'm Terry Morrow.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And I'm Catherine Hileco.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Every Thursday, we're bringing you a library find, a pick
from our archives, and a parenting or pop culture tidbit
or two. Let's start with Catherine's library find of the Week.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
So. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but
as part of my job at the library, I and
my colleagues we check the condition of every item that
is returned. So we are flipping through the pages of
books to see if there is you know, money or
random bookmarks or you know, garbage inside them. We are
(00:46):
checking to see if they're damaged in some way. And
we are also checking the all of the media. So
we circulate a lot of DVDs and CDs and audio books,
and so I was flipping through DBDs just you know,
make sure that the patron has returned the DVD in
(01:09):
the case. We get a lot of empty cases, which
I've done, you know, back in the day when I
used to borrow audiobooks with multiple CDs. You know, you
leave the last one in the CD player and you
return it and then the library has to.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Call you and say do you still have that CD?
So anyway, I don't have to call.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
The people, which is excellent. I'm glad that that's not
part of my job. But I opened up the DBD
case for the movie Deadpool Versus Wolverine, And in all
of our DVD cases we have this little slip of
paper where patrons can report if something's wrong.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
With the disc.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
You know, does it skip, is it scratched?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
What?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
So this little like bright green piece of paper that
they can indicate that there's problems with it.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
So I open up this.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Case and the slip is in there, and it has
been turned over to the blank side, and a patron wrote,
don't waste your time on this movie unless you want
to hear Disney bragg about how they are better than Fox.
WTF exclamation point, exclamation point. Then it gets better because
(02:36):
a second patron followed up and wrote second critics advice colon.
I agree totally. Besides, at this point I am deadpooled
and Wolverined out.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
So the first person wrote it, no one noticed it, apparently,
because it circulated again to the next person.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
They saw it and they were like, oh yeah, I
gotta chime in here.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I have something to say.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
And they said it that's wonderful, delightful. I don't want
to encourage patrons to do this, but also it it
really made our day.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Well, I think the library needs to like put a
you know, you're the critic slip in with these things.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, I mean you can on the on the website,
on the catalog, on the website, there's place to leave comments.
But I don't think people like really realize that, or
it should.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Be able to somehow like slip it in the back
sleeve of the of the uh yeah DVD so that
when you're picking a DVD you can look at these
reviews and go, oh, put that one day.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and we have I remember once we
got a there was a note slipped in a book
that said something like no man should read this book.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And we were like, oh, do they mean like no
male person or do they mean like no man as
in no human? You know what, what is the objection?
That was kind of all it said. But yeah, it's
when you talk about library finds, it's not just I
discovered an interesting book or you know, a magazine I
(04:29):
want to read, or yeah, a movie I want to see.
Sometimes it's you find actual you know, you find stuff
like this or the random stuff that people.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Leave in a book.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
That's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
So I guess my library find is not Deadpool versus Wolverine.
We have two yes, two thumbs down. And then one
of my former coworkers who has since left, but she
he is a manager at a movie theater that was
(05:03):
her other job, and she was like, yeah, I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Post sign.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Oh my, So there you have it, Deadpool versus Wolverine.
Zero stars from the library patron.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Ah. Well for my random recommendation, I'm gonna give all
the stars and this will be old, older, even older
news by the time you're listening to this. But I
still have to give a best of luck and happy
engagement to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey, who I have
(05:41):
been enjoying seeing her appearance on New Heights and then
followed closely with the announcement that they are engaged. So, I,
you know, what do you care about celebrities? I don't
know these people. I don't know anything about them, but
I feel like I have been watching Taylor's and she
was a teenager. I've been a fan of hers all
(06:02):
through her growing up. I think she's conducted her career
really well. She's conducted herself really well considering what happens
to most people who were as famous as she was
when she at the age she was. And he seems
like a nice guy. And if you watch this, I
haven't watched the whole or listen to the whole New
Heights podcast. Then she was on with Travis and his
(06:27):
brother Jason. I haven't watched it, but I've seen huge
numbers of video clips of it. Everywhere you go there
are clips of this and medially unbelievably adorable, so so cute,
just you want to hug them. And she seems really
happy in a really down to earth and healthy way.
(06:50):
She's making sourdough bread, you know, she's joking about the
way her future sister in law says, can we not
do that right now?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
And as to.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Both her husband and her forete Yes, to her husband
and her kids. Yeah, and just like so so much
inside stuff like that, and they're just I'm so happy
for her that she I mean, you can't say that
this extremely wealthy, extremely successful athlete is kind of a
normal guy, but he seems like kind of a normal guy,
(07:27):
down to earth, I guess, with a good family and
a fairly healthy outlook on life, and they're just adorable together.
So I sure hope it is as it seems, although
it's none of our business so it could be something
completely different. But just seeing how happy they were on
(07:47):
this podcast, and then shortly thereafter seeing that, apparently while
they were recording the podcast, he was having people set
up the garden so he could propose. So it's pretty cool. Yeah,
good luck to them. I my daughter is about the
same age as Taylor. I think they're about four months different.
I don't think I'm ever going to get to that
point with her, so I'm just gonna live this vicarious. Yeah,
(08:13):
I'm just gonna be sitting here going Yes, finally, finally
she found the one and best of luck, and you
know I do. If you are inclined to be a
fan of Tailor's, watch these videos from New Heights. You
will find them everywhere. They're on the reels, on Facebook there,
(08:33):
I'm sure on Instagram there. I think you could probably
just open your door one day and there would be
playing when playing there. Yes, they're super cute. Have you
watched any of them?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah, I've seen some of them, and I've, as you said,
seen the clips.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I'm a little daunted by her eye eyeliner, but other
than that, it's adorable.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I I enjoy her music, but
I'm not you know, as a Swifty like you are,
not because I have anything against her or right, but
it just hasn't been my.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
As much as it has others. But I still think
that they.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Are so adorable and yeah, it's it's quite charming, So.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
It seems like a good match. And I'm finally glad
they're glad they finally got to it because I've been
waiting for this for a while. So and I'm a
senior Swifties, so not somebody who relates to her as
a peer, but somebody who replates to her as a mom.
I remember the first I think the first thing I
saw in was a video for Picture to Burn when
she was a teenager, and just good for her. I'm
(09:48):
just so happy for them. So anyway, yay, you all
are tired of that news now because it would hit
a week or two ago, but U still we're getting there.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
You know, it's still fun.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You know, our our podcast is so big and famous
that to get around to talking about another podcast, you know,
we have to get through all our It takes all
our millions of comments before we can talk about another one,
but we get essentially yes, they get as many reactions
(10:25):
in like a second and a half as we do
in how many years?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Oh well half a second?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yeah, what do we have from the archive this week?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
That's okay?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yes, we enjoy our anonymity.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Well back, yes, yeah, because what if we want to
just quit? Back in twenty twenty two, we were talking
about quiet quitting, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
A buzzword at the time.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
You know, it was of course about quiet quitting your job.
But this that we of course had to turn it
into can you quiet quit if you are a parent? Yeah,
specifically a mom, and you know probably not.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, No, I think that you could.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
You could say you were, and you could intend to,
and you just wouldn't be able to actually follow through
right as a parent.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
And there's also the concern that nobody would notice. So right,
that's the problem. Continue to tell yourself that you're important
and everything you do is essential and you could not
possibly quit because once you quit and nobody says a word,
then you will feel bad about yourself. So that's why
I don't do it. Then you're like, great, Nope, can't
(11:47):
possibly quit. Gotta keep doing it, gotta keep momming, get
help it, get help myself. No, wow, would I love
to quit my job as the UH employment core nator.
Would love to quit that job. But then my daughter
would be like, great, can just stay home not do
(12:08):
anything excellent?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And she'd be like, great, quiet quit. I'm into that.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I get to quit too. She's not sending me links
to jobs every five minutes.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yep. Yeah, that's the thing. You know.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
There's always like aspects that you want to quiet quit
or loud quit, but the problem is it's all tangled.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, you know, Yeah, I would love to I would
love to quiet quit being in charge of like the
taxes and the forms and the like bills in the
official stuff. Except well, if I quiet quit, we would go,
you know, we would be in arrears severely and that
would not be good. But nobody else is going to
(12:53):
take this over for me, no matter how I hint,
no matter how I say maybe you want to do this, honey,
nobody is going to want to take for me. I
have to do it or we will be sitting on
the curb with, you know, a fist full of canceled services.
I don't know anyway, we will be bankrupt, and you know,
interrears on our taxes and all sorts of bad things
(13:14):
will happen if I don't keep being the person who
does that. I don't want to keep being the person
who does no. But I think what's the opposite of
quiet quitting, which is just that you just don't say
anything when somebody tries to quit. You just sit there silently.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
You just write. You refuse to accept their resignation.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Exactly, That's exactly it. You just refuse to even acknowledge
their resignation, and you trust that they will feel duty
bound that without an official transfer of responsibilities, they will
just keep doing it. My husband is really good at that.
(13:59):
Just so you're gonna do it, right, honey.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
If I don't do this thing, that's a problem. He
quietly quits listening to me. It's like I'm getting older.
My brain sometimes does funny things to me. Please don't
make me keep being responsible for things. Yeah, so the
(14:25):
stress remains on my plate. It's fine. I'm fine, Everything
is fine. Didn't really want to quit anyway.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah, yeah, you're fine with it all along.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
M Spiders from Lost.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah, get make them think that you're dead and you
can't do it anymore, and they'll have to take over.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I think that as long as they don't bury me.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah, that's the that's the problem. There are consequences stuff
that Nikki didn't consider, so.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
That is correct. Yeah, yeah, could have told her.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah, but himself blown up, so.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
That's right, was blown up before that happened. Yeah, which
might cause one to pause and think, do I want
to be following anything this guy told me?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I want to be listening to this guy exactly?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Also, like did Nikki?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Now we're just rehab, We're going back listen to our
episode from.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Tuesday, but quietly queen the weekly round Up, and we're
back on lost.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
We're back on Lost.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Because were they just living with all of these creepy
crawleys that Arts had had or.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Did you just mentioned to the deadly spiders that make
you paralyzed?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Like did she come in hand everyone knows a vacasion.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Where Arts had had left them or did Nikki?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I don't, I don't know. Yeah, that was weird. That
was weird for sure.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I don't know anyway, But uh, yeah, we're gonna quit.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
We're gonna We're gonna.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Quietly quit both lost and the whole the whole episode
at this point, right.
Speaker 3 (16:24):

Welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast. I'm Terry Morrow.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And I'm Catherine Hileco.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Every Thursday, we're bringing you a library find, a pick
from our archives, and a parenting or pop culture tidbit
or two. Let's start with Catherine's library find of the Week.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
So. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but
as part of my job at the library, I and
my colleagues we check the condition of every item that
is returned. So we are flipping through the pages of
books to see if there is you know, money or
random bookmarks or you know, garbage inside them. We are
(00:46):
checking to see if they're damaged in some way. And
we are also checking the all of the media. So
we circulate a lot of DVDs and CDs and audio books,
and so I was flipping through DBDs just you know,
make sure that the patron has returned the DVD in
(01:09):
the case. We get a lot of empty cases, which
I've done, you know, back in the day when I
used to borrow audiobooks with multiple CDs. You know, you
leave the last one in the CD player and you
return it and then the library has to.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Call you and say do you still have that CD?
So anyway, I don't have to call.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
The people, which is excellent. I'm glad that that's not
part of my job. But I opened up the DBD
case for the movie Deadpool Versus Wolverine, And in all
of our DVD cases we have this little slip of
paper where patrons can report if something's wrong.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
With the disc.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
You know, does it skip, is it scratched?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
What?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
So this little like bright green piece of paper that
they can indicate that there's problems with it.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
So I open up this.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Case and the slip is in there, and it has
been turned over to the blank side, and a patron wrote,
don't waste your time on this movie unless you want
to hear Disney bragg about how they are better than Fox.
WTF exclamation point, exclamation point. Then it gets better because
(02:36):
a second patron followed up and wrote second critics advice colon.
I agree totally. Besides, at this point I am deadpooled
and Wolverined out.
Speaker 4 (02:56):

And they said it that's wonderful, delightful. I don't want
to encourage patrons to do this, but also it it
really made our day.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Well, I think the library needs to like put a

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, I mean you can on the on the website,
on the catalog, on the website, there's place to leave comments.
But I don't think people like really realize that, or
it should.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Be able to somehow like slip it in the back
sleeve of the of the uh yeah DVD so that
when you're picking a DVD you can look at these
reviews and go, oh, put that one day.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and we have I remember once we
got a there was a note slipped in a book
that said something like no man should read this book.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And we were like, oh, do they mean like no
male person or do they mean like no man as

That was kind of all it said. But yeah, it's

Zero stars from the library patron.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Ah. Well for my random recommendation, I'm gonna give all
the stars and this will be old, older, even older
news by the time you're listening to this. But I
still have to give a best of luck and happy
engagement to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey, who I have
(05:41):
been enjoying seeing her appearance on New Heights and then

Well back, yes, yeah, because what if we want to
just quit? Back in twenty twenty two, we were talking
about quiet quitting, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
A buzzword at the time.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
You know, it was of course about quiet quitting your job.
But this that we of course had to turn it
into can you quiet quit if you are a parent? Yeah,
specifically a mom, and you know probably not.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, No, I think that you could.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
You could say you were, and you could intend to,
and you just wouldn't be able to actually follow through
right as a parent.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
And there's also the concern that nobody would notice. So right,
that's the problem. Continue to tell yourself that you're important
and everything you do is essential and you could not
possibly quit because once you quit and nobody says a word,
then you will feel bad about yourself. So that's why
I don't do it. Then you're like, great, Nope, can't
(11:47):
possibly quit. Gotta keep doing it, gotta keep momming, get
help it, get help myself. No, wow, would I love
to quit my job as the UH employment core nator.
Would love to quit that job. But then my daughter
would be like, great, can just stay home not do
(12:08):
anything excellent?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And she'd be like, great, quiet quit. I'm into that.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I get to quit too. She's not sending me links
to jobs every five minutes.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yep. Yeah, that's the thing. You know.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
There's always like aspects that you want to quiet quit
or loud quit, but the problem is it's all tangled.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, you know, Yeah, I would love to I would
love to quiet quit being in charge of like the
taxes and the forms and the like bills in the
official stuff. Except well, if I quiet quit, we would go,
you know, we would be in arrears severely and that
would not be good. But nobody else is going to
(12:53):
take this over for me, no matter how I hint,
no matter how I say maybe you want to do this, honey,
nobody is going to want to take for me. I
have to do it or we will be sitting on
the curb with, you know, a fist full of canceled services.
I don't know anyway, we will be bankrupt, and you know,
interrears on our taxes and all sorts of bad things
(13:14):
will happen if I don't keep being the person who
does that. I don't want to keep being the person
who does no. But I think what's the opposite of
quiet quitting, which is just that you just don't say
anything when somebody tries to quit. You just sit there silently.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
You just write. You refuse to accept their resignation.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Exactly, That's exactly it. You just refuse to even acknowledge
their resignation, and you trust that they will feel duty
bound that without an official transfer of responsibilities, they will
just keep doing it. My husband is really good at that.
(13:59):
Just so you're gonna do it, right, honey.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
If I don't do this thing, that's a problem. He
quietly quits listening to me. It's like I'm getting older.
My brain sometimes does funny things to me. Please don't
make me keep being responsible for things. Yeah, so the
(14:25):
stress remains on my plate. It's fine. I'm fine, Everything
is fine. Didn't really want to quit anyway.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah, yeah, you're fine with it all along.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
M Spiders from Lost.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah, get make them think that you're dead and you
can't do it anymore, and they'll have to take over.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I think that as long as they don't bury me.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah, that's the that's the problem. There are consequences stuff
that Nikki didn't consider, so.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
That is correct. Yeah, yeah, could have told her.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah, but himself blown up, so.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
That's right, was blown up before that happened. Yeah, which
might cause one to pause and think, do I want
to be following anything this guy told me?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I want to be listening to this guy exactly?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Also, like did Nikki?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Now we're just rehab, We're going back listen to our
episode from.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Tuesday, but quietly queen the weekly round Up, and we're
back on lost.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
We're back on Lost.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Because were they just living with all of these creepy
crawleys that Arts had had or.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Did you just mentioned to the deadly spiders that make
you paralyzed?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Like did she come in hand everyone knows a vacasion.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Where Arts had had left them or did Nikki?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I don't, I don't know. Yeah, that was weird. That
was weird for sure.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I don't know anyway, But uh, yeah, we're gonna quit.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
We're gonna We're gonna.
