Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.
I once gave an interview to a writerly friend about sex during pregnancy. I totally forgot about it until the wife of my husband’s work colleague came up to me and told me that she knew all about my sex life, she had read about it while at the doctor’s office. Yowza. But I think [...]
The following post is dedicated to all the parents who have ever felt guilty about a parenting decision that other parents may have judged or frowned upon. For all of us who have been in that position, deep down you knew that decision was the right one and completely necessary in conquering the quest to [...]
Because is there really such a thing as a ‘bad’ school portrait? OK, there is such a thing as a ‘bad’ school portrait and that fact grows exponentially by the child’s age but regardless of the actual results of this annual rite of student passage, parents in general will buy the image to mark that [...]

This Bad Mom is loving this Star Wars Suess mashup because my little Star Wars fan — who incidentally loves to play Darth Vader’s theme whenever she feels like life is not treating her the way it should be and she needs that extra injection of little evil emperor in her life — has been requesting this non-stop since we [...]
You know those times when you know you’re being a crap parent and you think, well, whatever, surely she won’t notice! She’s too young for it to REALLY matter! I can just modify my own behaviour next week/year/month, sometime when it really has an impact! And then in an instant, all that stuff you’ve been [...]
Yes I know Hallowe’en is sooo last week and that you are already planning the holiday shopping but this video was too good to not share. If I had told my daughter that I ate all her Hallowe’en candy she would have never displayed the restraint of these brothers. These boys were delivered the news [...]

So thanks to Laid Off Dad, along came this little article in to my twitter feed that listed a mere dozen ways that we’re effortlessly, gleefully screwing up our kids for life. Life, I tell you! Yes, they’ve gathered child psychologists! Psychiatrists! and OTHER EXPERTS (who’d they call? your mother-in-law?) to come up with this [...]
In this very special episode of Dora the Explorer, Dora is all grown up, Boots has seen better days, and Swiper is armed and dangerous. Oh wait, so it Dora. This is totally not safe for the kids to watch but it sure is entertaining for the adults who have endured la totura especial [...]
It was a beautiful sunny long-weekend afternoon. The roads were busy, but not abysmally so. When I drove past the first car on the side of the road that appeared to be having a toddler breakdown, I was sympathetic. The Daddy was holding the two year old up, hovering his naked butt a foot above [...]
The Swiss Naturals folks still want to sponsor me to talk about fitness and health and if there’s one thing that is going through my head on a constant basis, it’s that. I’ve talked about it here before (like when I trained for a 10K)(and finished it!) and even have a category called Fitness and [...]
10 days. 10 days I am in England. Without my child. It’s a really long story. We meant to go for a month and take her. I envisioned walking through Hyde Park with her in the stroller; taking her in to Mamas and Papas on Regent street and buying adorable little outfits; taking her on [...]
