Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.
There are many idiots in this world. This is something that bothers me greatly but here’s the thing, if the idiots weren’t around to remind us how idiotic thoughts breed like rabbits, we might become complacent. We also could run the risk of finding harmony and equality but you know, that’s too lofty a goal [...]
So by now you’ve heard all about TSA and their newest molestation search techniques in the name of safety. I have yet to have the displeasure of a TSA worker coping a feel and I don’t plan on experiencing anytime soon. Frankly when faced with the choice of being blasted with radiation versus getting molested [...]
You guys, I am a genius. I have solved parenting. I could probably put what I have figured out into a book and sell it for millions and millions of dollars, but instead I am giving it to you. For free. Because what’s the point of a Bad Moms Club if we can’t all share [...]
Catherine sent me the link to an article about an Ottawa photographer who portrays children in troubling tableaux taken from news headlines. I thought that it might be an article that I could poke fun at and maybe make some jokes about. This is no joke. Go take a look at the thirteen images this [...]
I’m beginning to think that all Texas school administrators had sour childhoods, because although I’ve worked in Texas and our own Shauna Glenn is from Texas – which is to say, I know it’s full of beautiful and smart people - stories about their schools make me think that those people are a little messed [...]
This past week has been all about back to school and I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that every so often it worries me that my kid is just a little too far away from me when she’s sitting at her wee table at kindergarten. Things! Could happen! And I instantly feel helpless. But [...]
This whole Jersey Circus thing – wherein ‘The Family Circus’ gets the Jersey Shore treatment in its captions – is sorta funny, but really only in that one-out-of-every-seven kind of funny, and even then not gut-bustingly funny. It’s the sort of thing that sounds like it should be funny, but it’s really just the idea [...]
Watching the clip embedded below, in which Anderson Cooper ‘interviews’ Texas Rep. Louis Gohmert, is an exercise in frustration. It reminds me of trying to reason with my four-year old, which, at the best of times, can be aneurysm-inducing. But Anderson Cooper demonstrated that he’d make a level-headed parent some day, just based on the [...]
My husband and I both grew up reading Dr. Seuss books, a tradition we’ve carried on with our kids – our bookshelves hold several Dr. Seuss titles. The kids love it when we read them Fox in Socks (though it’s all I can do to get halfway through it) and Green Eggs and Ham; ever [...]
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…
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
When Bad Moms talk, other Bad Moms listen. So we decided to put that to work for us. Today: Katie wants to know why some moms are so proud that they’re raising girls who don’t like everything frilly and pink, and Catherine’s got some thoughts about that. The Bad Question:
