Man Arrested On Purpose To Avoid Family (Or, Don’t Give Me Ideas Buddy)

By on January 4, 2010 1 Comment

So this man in Sicily walked into a police station on New Year's Eve and asked to arrested because he didn't want to spend time with his family. No this isn't the start of some old school "take my wife… please" jokes, this really happened last week. Obviously, the police said no — probably for [...]

We've seen this dozen of times before but it still melts my usually stoic heart. Moms love their children no matter how they came to be a family. Period. source

Bad Moms Wanna Know: Is This Ad Bad-Bad, Or, You Know, BAD?

By on December 22, 2009 19 Comments

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 [...]

GOOPtastic: One More Reason To Be Irritated By Gwyneth Paltrow

By on December 22, 2009 7 Comments

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.

Jon and Kate Gosselin: Marriage Busters, Busted.

By on December 18, 2009 1 Comment

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. Jon & Kate is now officially Jon without Kate. Or Kate without Jon. Or Kate hates Jon and it's court documented and official. Wow, there are so [...]

Wow, this story almost made me drop my beloved coffee mug (don't worry, mommy's little enabler is just fine). 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 [...]

Bad Moms Wanna Know: Should Our Girls Shake Their Groove Thangs… Like THIS?

The other week I went on the record as saying that I didn't think that it was such a big deal for little girls to shake their groove thang. I'd like to take that back now, please.

Pink Stinks: Or DOES IT?

By on December 14, 2009 8 Comments

A recent article in the Globe and Mail, Pink is the new crack, focused on a British campaign called Pinkstinks. Pinkstinks encourages Brits to boycott the purchase of over-the-top girly toys of the pink, princess, and fairy overload variety that currently inhabit the “pink alley” of toy stores. This was the first time I heard [...]

Another Duggar Greets The World

By on December 11, 2009 2 Comments

Okay, so: the Duggars now have NINETEEN children. Which – I know – seems like the set-up to a really slam-down joke about clown cars. BUT. This Duggar baby was premature and that's a scary, scary thing and so, so. It's kind of wrong to joke. No, not kind of. Much wrong. So, no jokes.

Yeah, I’m A Twilight Mom. What’s It To You?

By on December 11, 2009 6 Comments

Sure, New Moon has been out for weeks now but we at the Bad Moms Club only got around to seeing it this past Saturday (in IMAX no less, which for the record makes both Teams look divine). Know why it took us so long? Because arranging a babysitter for all of our offspring at [...]

So, Um, About That Tiger Woods Thing…

By on December 9, 2009 3 Comments

So. Let's talk about the golf-club wielding elephant in the corner. Whenever I go to get my gossip fix, all I see is Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiiiiiiiigerrrrrrr Wooooods. Can I just say that I'm kind of shocked at the whole thing? Regardless of how much of the gossip is true (less than 50% is [...]

Bad Rants: Since When Did Bad Become The New ‘Eww This Makes Me Squeamish?’

By on December 7, 2009 38 Comments

Okay, look: it's a kind of a general rule of Bad Moms Club that preachiness and finger-wagging are not allowed. But there are a few issues about which I get entirely preachy and so, as a founding member of the club, I am going to move that on certain key issues we can preach and [...]

Bad Mom Wants Bad Ink (Start ‘Em Young, Ladies)

By on December 7, 2009 3 Comments

My daughter is obsessed with my tattoo. It's kinda cute how she tries to wash it off my back when we share a bubble bath. It's like she's channeling her grandmother (my mom). I can almost hear the clucking tongue of disapproval. Anyhow, my daughter doesn't really disapprove of my tattoo (sorry mom), she thinks [...]

Bad, Schmad: Sometimes, Celebrities – And Gossip – And Celebrity Gossip – Just Suck

By on December 4, 2009 Leave a Comment

Blind gossip items are one of my guilty pleasures. Call it schadenfreude, call it taking perverse pleasure in knowing that celebrities are as messed up as we think they are, call it a faint, desperate hope that one day, there'll be an item that reads something like 'Desperate Blond Actress with lifestyle website has secret [...]
