Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.
Three two year olds. Three days. One roof. Are you reaching for the wine yet? (Which, by the way, my toddler demanded at dinner the other night. Looked right at the waitress and said, “I need more wine!” Epic parenting fail.) We retreated to a cottage for the weekend with friends who have two year [...]
I settle in, coffee at easy reach right next to hand, lemon-cranberry scone at the other. Window seat at the local Starbucks, sponging off the ‘free” wifi which comes only in exchange for paying their ludicrous prices for a cuppa. 70s funk wafting through the speakers. Laptop fully charged, creative juices more or less poised. [...]
This just in: families with two girl children come out on top in the happiness lottery. Yes, it appears to be true, says a study out of the UK this fine morning: When families of all child-arrangements, boys, girls, one child, many children, a veritable lottery of child picks are surveyed, the families that seem [...]
Yes, we are those parents who ditch the kids with Grandma in order to go have fun by ourselves. Yes, I know there are plenty of parents who don’t leave their kids with anybody until they’re 16. Yes, I know that there are plenty of parents who”ve never spent a night apart, never left anybody [...]
I very rarely close the door when I use the bathroom. Like most mothers I know, I accepted that my privacy mostly disappeared the day I had a room full of strangers huddled between my legs while encouraging me to push something out of my body. What little sense of propriety I had left was [...]
My daughter is now, after three days, beginning to get over some fever-cold-random-virus sickness. I have to confess that she is kind of adorable when she’s sick. I also have to admit that she doesn’t get that from me. I wouldn’t want to be around me when I’m sick. I’m whiny and demanding and desperate [...]
I might be a bad mom, but I’ve totally gone soft. I used to swear by True Crime TV. Law and Order in all its flavours. CSI in all its locales. And Criminal Minds, that one-step-removed-from-torture-porn series with all the cutie FBI agents, was a weekly ritual (Ha. Get it? Ritual, like serial killers have [...]
Posted by Anonymous. This all started 20 years ago I met a cocky big mouth extremely good looking guy that I had watched grow up before my eyes into a startling handsome man we dated a few times and I spent a lot of time at his parent’s house (where he lived at the time) [...]
It was obvious very early in his life that my first child was a genius. The kid was turning his jigsaw puzzles upside down to give himself a new challenge when he was two. He was reading when he was three and trying to figure out how to construct a solar-powered car from old office [...]
The gift giving season is officially over for the next few months in my house. Thank God. Now that it’s over, I can tell you what a jerk I’ve been. As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, we really scaled back on how many presents we bought our kids for Christmas this year. (And, [...]
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 [...]
Posted by Anonymous. Its 11:23 p.m. I’ve spent all day, and most of the evening preparing for my son’s birthday. You joined me at the store only because you seen I had done my hair. God forbid anyone hit on me, right? It’s been five years, and I hate you. I utterly detest you. In [...]
I have a confession to make: I very rarely miss my kids when I’m out of town. I am not that mom who is eager to get back home or who is always calling to make sure everything is OK while I’m away. I’m the mom who assumes that someone will call if there is [...]
I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a food Nazi. I am positive there is HFCS in my house and hormones in the meat my children eat. But I do try to mostly encourage healthy eating in my household. We stock our kitchen with fruits and vegetables. My kids are allowed to snack [...]
Posted By D. Once again you were busted. The funny part is, I knew already. I knew her number where she lived and her name. All the while you thought I knew nothing at all. Do you really think I am that stupid? I guess you do, and that is a shame. I knew about [...]
