Bad Photo of the Week: Parenting, Ur Doin’ it Wrong

By on July 27, 2010 12 Comments

I started off writing this post in a snarky, satirical tone, but as I wrote I found myself becoming more and more bothered by this picture. It made me laugh at first – that equal parts shock/disgust/OMFG!/I’m-so-uncomfortable-I-have-to-laugh laugh, you know the one – but I can’t unsee this picture and I can’t get it out of my head. We’ve seen some doozies at the Bad Moms Club before, but this one? Well, there’s something about this one that really puts me off…


She’s holding that tiny little baby way too close to the electrical outlet.

*Sigh*

See? Satirical humor doesn’t work on this one. This picture’s not funny, it’s downright TRAGIC. I weep for this child’s future.

    Wow! Before I got below the picture, my thoughts were “OMG!! That baby’s fishnets could go in the socket and catch fire!! What is she thinking??” Then you said almost the same thing!! Why do people do those things? She needs socket covers, desperately!!

  2. I was thinking how the diaper under the bottoms of her outfit would never fly in the club scene.

    oh noes a bad pic of some one havin a laugh yeah sure the outfit is bad but meh we all wernt there and from that angle the power point could for all we know be 10 inches away i think some people have too much time on there hands to be judgemental on 1 bad pic i mean if she had a gun or a knife to the kid maybe, but this pic is harmless and next time you dress your kids in fairy costumes take a look at yourselves and ask hmmmmm i wonder if some one took a pic of this would i look bad ?

    I don’t see the issue with the power outlet. She’s not putting her child IN the outlet, she’s just near it. I tried the covers and my son just took them off. When I stopped putting the covers on the outlets, he stopped messing with them. And we had an amazing amount of outlets. For some reason the electrician thought 2 outlets per wall no matter the size of the wall was a good idea. :? Anyhow, the issue I’m having is the way the baby is dressed. I am hoping, since there’s a mask on the floor, that it was halloween and she doesn’t dress her daughter this inappropriately other times. This pic screams of halloween hijinks.

    I’m not sure what’s funnier the post or the clearly confused commenters. I really wish someone would invent that sarcasm font already!! Maybe mom can by some outlet covers with little ones first batch of singles LOL

      Thank God someone was thinking the same way I was….I’m surprised no one commented on the Mom’s bad tan lines…

    I think some of you are missing the point… it’s not that she’s close to the outlet, it’s that she’s teaching her infant daughter to pole dance…

    This is just wrong on many levels.
