Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.
When I was pregnant 12 years ago, my husband had a whole list of names that he loved. I had none. (This continues in our history of role reversal, see: cleaning) But I did know what I didn’t like. And I didn’t like Jacob (too popular), Olivia (too popular) or Isabella. I like one-step off [...]
I haven’t had a lot of “free” time on the Internet for far too long, thanks to my job at ‘The Firm’, what with it’s long hours, daily commute, and decision to block/monitor the Internet. It’s totally their prerogative, and I didn’t abuse the Internet like others did, but I used to use my lunch [...]
It seems that moms — especially those with depression – just can’t win. According to a recently released study, those sleep issues that my child had — natch, HAS — exhibited since birth are probably (wait for it..) my fault. “Researchers have now found that mothers who are depressed may cause sleep problems in their babies or make them [...]
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 [...]
Hi Samantha. Come sit. Have a cuppa. You’ve had a hell of a 24 hours, and I’m sure it hasn’t been fun. Facing the vast angry internet hordes of crazy people, well, it’s tough, and I feel for you. Now, if I were the advice giving type, I’d maybe say that it wasn’t the best [...]
Celebrities who are online and of the parenting variety have a special place in my Bad Mom heart because reading their posts, watching their videos, and sharing their tweets has created a feeling where celebrity parents appear to be on a level playing field with parents like me. Because we all know that kids don’t care if you’re [...]
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 [...]
Did you know May is Pregnancy Awareness Month? It’s true, here is the press release to prove it. May is a busy month, Pregnancy has to compete for awareness with National Pet Month and National Masturbation Month. Did you know that each and every month of the year has multiple themes attached to it? Check [...]
The blogosphere has its knickers in a knot over this, the Atlanta, GA restaurant that has asked that people take their screaming kids outside to calm them down. Um. Am I the only one that isn’t bothered by this? Seriously. This makes total sense to me. In fact, it’s what I do anyway. If I’m [...]
I recently watched an episode of Parenthood, wherein Haddie Braverman suspects that her cousin Amber might be off having fun with her cute, young, politician boss, and goes and tells her own mother, who immediately jumps up and drives half the night to break up the pair of consenting adults before anything, I don’t know, [...]
This is, indeed, the Bad Moms Club. Where every mother branded as a “Bad” mother can find solace and understanding. Because most of the time, when someone is branded as a “bad” mother, it’s just about judgment and finger pointing and people who refuse to take individual lives and choices in to perspective. Most of [...]
I live in a house with my husband, our five-year-old son, our three-year-old daughter and our four-month old baby and, I must admit, I can’t remember the last time I closed the bathroom door.* Last week on Jezebel, Tracey Moore wrote about bringing her two-year-old daughter into the bathroom with her and even letting her [...]
The least shocking news of 2012 broke this week, with deep South, deep-fat fryin’ down-home cooking guru Paula Deen admitting that she has type-2 diabetes, something the rags have been dishing on for years. With signature recipes including Southern Fried Chicken, Cheese Biscuits, Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding and Paula’s Fried Butter Balls, as well as [...]
This story tore my heart out and stomped it in to the living room floor. A 19 year old woman walked in to a Chicago area fire station on Monday carrying a six month old baby. Miserable and wretched, she handed her baby to the firefighters and told them she couldn’t care for her child [...]
Today, my kid starts school. She’s two and a half. And she’s ready. She’s very, very, very ready. She watches and thinks and learns, her little brain working furiously behind her eyes as she stares fixatedly at me whenever I try to thwart her plans for world domination. It’s time. She needs more than I [...]
