What Do You Get When You Mix Mel Gibson With Placenta? A Meltdown.
Bad Dads and placentas: two words that we’ve thrown around a lot here at the Bad Moms Club. We’ve featured some “Bad Is The New Good” Dads here at the Bad Moms Club and we’ve featured some real Bad Dads. We’ve also featured some alternative uses for placentas that, honestly, kind of skeeved some of [...]
More Uses For Babies, Footwear Edition
Some years ago my husband gave me a pair of slippers for Christmas, shaped like puppies – puppies in whose nether orifices one was supposed to stick one’s feet – and he was pretty pleased with himself for having thought of such an awesome gift, because, as he reminded me, I had “always wanted a [...]
Bad Photo of the Week: Parenting, Ur Doin’ it Wrong
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 [...]
Doctors Agree: Guns And Parenting Don’t Mix
Here’s kind of a curious story out of Ocala, Florida: Amber Ullman claims her two daughters were discharged from their pediatrician’s practice because she declined to answer a question about firearms in her home. She and her ped were going through some questions when he asked if she had any firearms in the house. She [...]
Wifi Plus Sarah Palin Plus Kate Plus Eight Equals Camping Apocalypse
What does this post title even mean? It means that camping as we know it might be a distant memory if Ontario Parks or TLC have anything to do with it. Remember when camping was a fun, inexpensive, relaxing family activity that was relatively stress-free save for bears and mosquitoes? Now there are many things [...]
Celebrities Say The Darndest Things
Full confession: I somewhat enjoy celebrity gossip. Gossip about people that I don’t know and probably will never know is a personal outlet that helps me NOT gossip about people I know in real life or at least I think it does. A recent celeb gossip story that keeps popping up on my radar is [...]
What Not to Do With Your Babies: The Water Sports Edition
Has anyone out there written a book for parents called What Not to Do With Your Babies yet? If not, someone should really get on that, with lots of chapters that have subheadings such as Drugs, Lose Them, and Go Windsurfing. Yes, that’s right – Go Windsurfing. Because apparently there are people out there who [...]
PSA Of The Day: You Should Always Practice “Safe Sex”
I was recently riding in the car with my friend when her husband called, and they began having what I call a “normal” conversation: “Hi, how’s your day? Yes, I turned off the sprinkler…” and so on and so on. All very normal. Then my friend openly blushed and then giggled and whispered into the [...]
Bad Moms Wanna Know What Is Up With Madonna
Madonna is a fascinating case in the pantheon of celebrity mothers. You would think that she’d have asserted herself as the Mother Of All Bad Mothers, what with the pointy-bra’ed, Sex book-y, flirtation-with-heresy past and all, but instead she went and became all stiff and British and wrote some saccharine children’s books and bragged about [...]
Skinny Jeans For Kids: A Bad Mom’s Confession
Kids fashion is admittedly tricky these days. Back in my parent’s day, kids didn’t really have ‘fashion’ as so much as they had ‘functional fabric coverings’ to keep their bodies modestly covered and insulated against the elements. Kids wore whatever the hell was on the racks that year and the term ‘fashion’ barely entered the [...]
