2009: The Year Of The Bad Mom Spectacular Spectacular (Did Someone Say MONTAGE?)

By on December 10, 2009 Leave a Comment

Tis the time of year again where we all get subjected to Year In Review segments and The Bad Moms Club is no different. Except we will only show you the stuff that made us laugh. And lordy, I forgot how many parenting-related media spectacles there were this year. Can you say Octomom, Jon & [...]

For When Naptime Isn’t About Sleeping

By on December 10, 2009 2 Comments

Was there a room or a piece of furniture or an objet d'art in your home growing up that all children were forbidden to even touch without adult blessing and this rule was enforced using threats worse than reform school? One of my friends had a living room so sacred and so totally not kid-friendly [...]

If You Liked It Then You Shoulda Put A Sling On It

By on December 9, 2009 3 Comments

My first baby hated slings. HATED them. Slings, Baby Bjorns, carriers: if it strapped her against me, she didn't want to have anything to do with it. My second baby? LOVED the sling. My back still hurts from all the sling-loving. It probably would have hurt more if I'd been doing this sort of thing:

Festivus: Something For The Rest Of Us (Or, Oh Crap, Is It That Time Of Year Again?)

By on December 8, 2009 Leave a Comment

Confession: I'm incredibly disorganized at the holidays, specifically the ones that hit in December. At this point my Christmas and Festivus cards aren't sent (or even purchased), gifts — even for those who live far away and require one month mailing windows — haven't been selected, oh hell, I don't even know who I'm buying [...]

Don't let your kids watch this. Or, do, but be prepared to explain why Frosty keeps his porn in an abandoned rail car.

Not Your Mother’s Nativity Scene

By on December 4, 2009 9 Comments

Christmas time during my childhood was always kicked off by bringing out the nativity scene. My Mom would painstakingly set up her nativity sets, even going as far as to delay bringing in the little baby Jesus or wise men until the big day. We had multiple sets around the homestead, each invoking reverence and [...]

How much do I love this video of this kid singing(?) along with the car stereo? HE RULEZ! Not everybody is a grindcore fan (myself included) but I think this kid definitely rocks it to the extreme. source

Have you ever been burned by a sanctimommy in play group, library, or anywhere that that attracts the particularly vicious alpha variety of mom? Have you ever received the continuous, harsh stink-eye or had totally passive-aggressive comments directed at you by strangers in customs, airports, passport offices, medical facility, line-up, or [fill in any place [...]

Bad Mom Breathing Room: Jack Black Gets Yo Gabba Jiggy With It

By on December 2, 2009 2 Comments

Need two minutes of “me time” sometime today? This Yo Gabba Gabba snippet featuring Jack Black doing a jig while dressed as DJ Lance will hypnotize the wee one(s) long enough for you to go pee, finish a page in a real book (not written by Richard Scarry), or throw back a glass (or two) [...]

What Would Bad Mother Do: Wild Kingdom Edition

By on November 26, 2009 2 Comments

The Bad Mom Phenomenon spans the species, folks, and here's the proof: a mama squirrel recently made it known that you do NOT tangle with mama squirrel. A dog who attacked her baby squirrel learned that size doesn't matter when it comes to threats towards family.

Because We’re Easy Come, Easy Go, Little High, Little Low

By on November 25, 2009 1 Comment

This just is what it is. I know that you can find it all over the Internet, and you've probably seen it thirty-hundred times already, but seriously, it is so awesome – and totally reflective of what parenthood means to us here at BMC – that we had to post it. Watch, and rejoice:

Well, It’s Better Than ‘Pat The Brown Bunny’, Isn’t It?

By on November 24, 2009 1 Comment

Sure, it took until after I had read Goodnight Keith Moon in its entirety twice to figure out this was a parody and not a cautionary tale for potential groupies (every girl has to dream) but I sure as all hell will never read the original Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown the same way [...]
