PSA Of The Day: You Should Always Practice “Safe Sex”
I was recently riding in the car with my friend when her husband called, and they began having what I call a “normal” conversation: “Hi, how’s your day? Yes, I turned off the sprinkler…” and so on and so on. All very normal. Then my friend openly blushed and then giggled and whispered into the [...]
When Your Nethers Itch: A Cautionary Tale Involving Chicken Nuggets
I have totally failed in the serving the family dinner department lately. Not that we’ve ever lived a sort of traditional family life (meaning my big strong husband goes to work while I stay home and roll socks into balls). No. It’s always been like an accidental phenomenon if I prepared a meal and served [...]
My Only Regret Is That I Don’t Speak Chinese
I recently came across this story of a dad in China who chained his 8 year old son to a light post and tried to auction him off. When I read the headline I was immediately outraged. I mean, what parent would do this to his child? Only the monster kind of parent, right? As [...]
Bad Moms Ain’t Too Proud To Squee (Twilight Saga: Eclipse Trailer! CONTAIN YOURSELVES)
Why pretend that I am not just a little bit overwhelmed by squee at the full (full! longer than ten seconds!) trailer for the new Twilight movie, Eclipse? Why not embrace the shameful truth? Why not just squee loudly and proudly and suffer the scorn that inevitably comes with being a thirty-something mom with a [...]
Bad Moms Are Kind Of Drawn To Sparkly Vampires And Don’t Care Who Knows It
Around here, we don’t call ourselves Twilight Moms because, you know, that’s a little bit too specific, seeing as we are, in addition to being keen appreciators of the Edward form, also fans of Buffy and Spike and Angel, and True Blood (the books more than the show), and the characters from Kelley Armstrong’s Otherworld [...]
Their Bad Road Trip, In Bad Pictures
Almost every single one trip that I take ends with me whining ‘I didn’t take enough pictures.’ This road trip was no exception. Most of the time my failure to photograph is due to either being too shy / too self-conscious to just dive in and take the photo. I know, I’m a freak. It’s [...]
File This Under Things I Never Thought I’d Say: I Like Kourtney Kardashian Ever Since She Became A Parent And Admitted Tasting Her Own Breastmilk
Kardashian. Not a name that I'd ordinarily associate with respect, but I've got to say: since Kourtney Kardashian became a mom this past December, I've reached deep into my skeptical soul and found some respect for her.** **Disclaimer: This applies to Kourtney only. The other Kardashians? Not so much. It all started with her screaming [...]
Bad Moms Love Moms Who Love Their Moms
Okay, as much as it can be so tempting to snark on the ever-dour, ever-skinny Angelina Jolie (whatever happened to rockin', raunchy Angelina, who made action movies and rode motorcycles and adopted kids all by her sweet self? Did Brad suck the life out of her? Maybe they should split up…) (where was I… ?) [...]
Bad Moms Don’t Get Jealous Of Other Moms’ Boobs. Not Usually, Anyway.
Can we talk for a minute about Halle Berry's boobs? In a totally respectful way, of course.
