Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.
In this very special episode of Dora the Explorer, Dora is all grown up, Boots has seen better days, and Swiper is armed and dangerous. Oh wait, so it Dora. This is totally not safe for the kids to watch but it sure is entertaining for the adults who have endured la totura especial [...]
Barbie. One word that strikes fear in some Bad Moms hearts while for other Bad Moms it brings back a flood of fond memories of dress-up and make-believe. Who knew Barbie could be so complicated and controversial? Oh who am I kidding, she always has been that way. For a toy based on a German [...]
When my daughter was a year old we tried one of those ‘YER BABY IS WAY SMARTER THAN YOU THINK AND IF YOU DON’T HARNESS THEIR SUPER POWERS OF INTELLIGENCE RIGHT NOW THEY ARE DOOMED TO BE MIDDLE MANAGEMENT FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!‘ programs to teach her how to read. Or maybe it [...]
How many times have you been trolling the racks at Baby Gap and said under your breath “Screw all these cute little pink dresses, I wish Lady Gaga would design baby clothing. She’d create the kind of baby clothing my daughter needs. Gaga would make baby clothing that screams ‘Outta my way establishment, I WAS [...]
OK, so I know this isn’t really Werner Herzog reading Madeline, the children’s classic from my own childhood, but I think Herzog would readily agree to narrating the tale of an young girls living at a Parisian boarding school because of the series’ classic closing line: ‘That’s all there is; there isn’t any more.’ That [...]
Sesame Street. I was raised on it, I will always love it, and as far as I’m concerned, it can do no wrong. What? Come on now, well made children’s programming never hurt anyone and we all know that moderation and moderation are the keys, yo. Anyway. I’m all grown up now so I prefer [...]
When I was a kid my mother threatened more times than I could count to stuff me in a mailbox and send me to my grandmother’s house when I was misbehaving. My grandmother was not a woman one would want to tangle with and the thought of going via Canada Post sounded like a nightmare [...]
This morning I woke up to my 5 year old screaming at me about how much she does not want to go to school. Not because anything bad is going on, or that she hates her teacher, or cannot stand her friends. She was screaming at me that she doesn’t want to go to school [...]
We try so hard not to judge other people’s parenting choices at the Bad Moms Club but we do make exceptions when there are concerns for the children. This is one of those times and while maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m not being open-minded in this case, maybe it’s me that has the problem — [...]
A story broke this week about a Toronto Daycare Caterer who allegedly lied about food sources, preparation standards, and generally pretty much everything involving the food she provided to 75 different childcare facilities around the Greater Toronto Area. After my initial horror from reading the story, I immediately called my child’s daycare — who provide [...]
Next time I need someone to exhaust my kid — because you know, I’m already exhausted and my child falls into the category know as ‘never tired’ — I am hiring an otter to do the job. Why an otter you ask? Well the proof is in this video: Look at him go! You can [...]
How many times have you done something in front of your toddler that you really shouldn’t have done — like dropping a string of f-bombs that would make a sailor blush — and said ‘oh well, it’s not like the kid is going to remember that‘? Guess what? They probably DO remember that. Thankfully the [...]
Do you live in the GTA? Looking for some mom-centric entertainment this week that also involves giving back to a great cause? Check out this guest post from Erin Keaney, Resident Director of Bum Wiping and Snack Packing on Mother’s Day + PUSH…ONE MOTHER OF A SHOW I don’t have a lot time for things [...]
No I’m not talking about that tiger baby because I’m sure all it would say was ‘mew’ and my heart would melt. The tiger baby I’m talking about is the offspring of the Tiger Mom, aka Amy Chua who wrote the article that started the whole Tiger Mom dilemma. The real baby of that Tiger Mom isn’t a [...]
If there is one thing that this Bad Mom can say with absolutely confidence and without the aid of any special research or degree is: painting a young boys toenails pink is not going to give him the ‘gay’ or turn him transgendered. Yet some social conservatives south of the border though that this J.Crew [...]
