Summary
“Chapters 9 & 10: Pages 167-190”
This week Meri and Janelle tackle “family” in their own signature styles. Meri frames herself as the no-nonsense disciplinarian (with some Kate Gosselin energy and couches that could survive the apocalypse), while also spiraling into empty-nest dread and grocery-shopping laments. Janelle on the other hand barely bothers to engage - offering a few surface-level thoughts on parenting and finances that feel more like first-draft filler than heartfelt reflection.
