Seven summers ago, we had a house fire. It was … well, it was horrible. It could have been so much worse than it was, but we all made it out safely and (bonus that I didn’t care about at all once we were outside and alive), we only lost one rocking chair and a [...]

Oh shit! They found us!

Never fear, my friends: There’s always a fantastic and rich selection of bad parents being called out on the internet.  Let’s get to it, shall we? There was lots of great news this week about how everything that goes wrong with your child during their entire lives stems directly from what you eat when they’re [...]

Bad Moms Like To Hang Out With Their Kids

The baby/preschool days are behind me now, but I remember them. Not because I was especially coherent, having three kids in under four years, but because I documented so much of that time on my blawg. Sleepless nights! Mustard poop all over the walls/up the back of sleepers! Meltdowns! COMPLETE AND UTTER CHAOS. It’s not [...]

We at the Bad Moms Club like to remind you all that you are not alone. There’s plenty of bad every day out there, to reassure you that you, too, are not alone in being judged!  So plunk the kids in front of the TV with some gummy bears and revel in some of the [...]

Bad Moms Let Their Kids Suck Their Thumbs

My youngest child, my only daughter, is a thumb-sucker. As soon as her newborn bad self could wedge her thumb into her mouth (6-8 weeks?)(It’s a blur)(Her two older brothers were two and three-and-a-half at the time), she would. She inherited my husband’s “sleeping gene”, but the thumb sucking has made her the best sleeper [...]

Bad Moms Separate Faith From School

Great strides have been made to make sure that prayer and God and anything remotely “Christian” has nothing to do with the public school system. People don’t want their kids to be exposed to a faith not their own and so there is no more saying of The Lord’s Prayer in schools, and many don’t [...]

If you know me in real life, you know that I am an introverted extrovert, with a bit of a fiery streak. It takes me a lot to get worked up, or even angry, but when it happens, it isn’t pretty. Don’t make me angry. You won’t like me when I’m angry. It is so [...]

Well, we don’t promote lying in our house, but we do leave crucial information out. Our kids are getting older and with that comes the idea that we should keep them in the loop on what’s going on. One example: They now understand the concept of time, so we can tell them about an upcoming [...]

…for date nights with their husbands. I write a marriage column elsewhere (I am in NO WAY an expert – I just share what we have learned/read/done) and one thing I’ve rambled on about over there on many occasions is the need for a regular date night with your spouse. It doesn’t have to be [...]

It’s been a rough couple of weeks at my house. The second half of January saw my husband and I being hit from all sides emotionally, professionally, and physically. I usually muster up the enthusiasm to bounce back up and blaze on, but for the first time in my life, I haven’t had it in [...]

Bad Temporarily Single Parent

I can nap right here, thanks.

The house looks like someone picked it up and shook it. Deadline after deadline whizzes by my head, each one like a nuclear powered dragonfly armed with missiles. Emails sit unopened, telltale coffee rings adorn the countertop from when I frantically guzzled my almost-completely-cold coffee in one gulp just to get the caffeine in to [...]

This Bad Mom has a hard time saying ‘no’ to an awesome dare and the latest one thrown my way is no exception. When the Bad Moms Club was asked to join the Dare to Draw campaign I knew we – me and my 6 year old — could do together because this dare involved one [...]
