I know that the BMC credo is resist judging all ye who enter here, but as I think I've amply demonstrated, I tend to not resist it so much when faced with evil and/or stupidity. Richard Heene, I think, embodies both.

A Spanking A Day… Keeps Everybody Hollerin’

By on January 7, 2010 2 Comments

The other day, a study was released that suggests that spanking may be good for your kids. Which, of course, immediately caused me to roll my eyes and wonder, out loud, when they will release the studies that show that if you throw screaming children in swimming pools, they will learn to swim faster, or [...]

We're on record as being pretty open-minded about different parenting styles. Attachment parenting? Great – been there, done that! Free-range parenting? Also great!

Okay, so. I'm just gonna say up front that I kinda grinned at this commercial. And giggled. And snorted. And such. Which is to say: I thought it was funny. Sure, the water-tossing bit was a bit much, but otherwise, I could kinda relate a little bit, you know? Not everybody thinks so, apparently. The [...]

I was just going to title this HA HA HA GWYNETH FAIL! but that seemed childish. Still, the news that Her Royal GOOPiness might have run afoul of the FTC's new blogger disclosure guidelines made me titter a little more gleefully than is, I suppose, appropriate for a grown woman.

It seems fitting that at the end of this year – nay, decade – one of the most infamous couples in celebudisaster parenting history are finalizing their divorce.

A daycare in Cincinnati is being investigated for drugging kids in order to get them settled at nap time. There is an allegation that daycare employees put melatonin in candy which was then fed to some [...]
