Parenting in the 21st Century: When Your Kid Is Big In Japan
Imagine posting pics of your infant son and then discovering, ten years later, that he’s become an internet sensation in Japan – as a meme! That’s exactly what happened to Allan S. Rout, and he only found out when he decided to Google himself. After scrolling through 18 pages of results, he recognized his name [...]
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.

The Return Of The Bratz Doll? No Thank You.
So did you hear that the Bratz Dolls might be returning to store shelves sometime in the near future? Did you hear the screaming, Clarice? Because that’s the noise I emitted when I read that those trampy dolls might be making their way back into my daughter’s life. Nooooooooooooooooo…
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.

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.

U.K. Thumbsucking Clinic Helps Kids Break the Habit
Were you a thumb-sucker as a kid? Are you raising one now? I sucked my fingers religiously until I was maybe 7 or 8; it was my way of self-soothing. I knew it bothered my mother – she’d always tell me I was going to wreck my teeth and she was right, I needed braces [...]
