Val and Ryan talk about grandparent babysitters, wrapping up 2021 and more

CHICAGO (WLS) -- This week on Windy City Weekend, Ryan and Val talk about paying grandmothers to babysit their grandkids. Miranda's character in the new HBO series, "And Just Like That" sparks the debate on if you would let your teenager's partner spend the night at your home. After delaying a wedding twice due to the pandemic, a bride says, "I do" to a stand-in mannequin once her fiancé gets food poisoning days before the ceremony; and parents are timing pregnancies so their child can have a "good" zodiac sign.
