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 [...]

The Return Of The Bratz Doll? No Thank You.

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…

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 [...]
