Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.
He was a cute baby, perhaps 8 months old, all chubby cheeks and waving hands and little squeals. Sitting on his adult’s lap (I can only presume that it was his father, but that is indeed a presumption), that baby looked happy and clean and well-cared for. That baby made me smile. And then the [...]
I thought I was being so smart. Have you ever tried to dress a kid? Seriously, it’s EXPENSIVE. Kids’ clothes cost a fortune, and even more of a fortune because you’re replacing it every time you turn around. I can remember buying stuff for my newborn at Baby Gap, such as $30 jeans that were [...]
I have to warn you: This post is not for the weak of stomach. It’s just… there are people with SOME NERVE out there. I mean look at this magazine cover. It’s disgraceful. These people, this family, this couple who’ve been committed to each other for 18 years posing brazenly on the cover, showing an [...]
…but babies with mustaches singing about being drunk totally are. Gee… I wonder what was in his bottle? Anyway. Welcome to a Tuesday morning dance party!
As a mom to young children you get used to certain things. Unidentified goo under your fingernails, matted, unkempt hair, hairy armpits, legs and Oh My God Don’t Even Think That Your Bikini Area Will Be Properly Groomed. In fact, you’re never exactly sure when you last bathed. And we mostly accept these things as [...]
It’s difficult to determine exactly which came first, the watermelon or the baby. Despite the mystery of whether the child is eating it’s way into the watermelon or eating it’s way out of the watermelon (which then begs the questions HOW did the baby get into the watermelon in the first place and is this [...]
Has anyone out there written a book for parents called What Not to Do With Your Babies yet? If not, someone should really get on that, with lots of chapters that have subheadings such as Drugs, Lose Them, and Go Windsurfing. Yes, that’s right – Go Windsurfing. Because apparently there are people out there who [...]
Madonna is a fascinating case in the pantheon of celebrity mothers. You would think that she’d have asserted herself as the Mother Of All Bad Mothers, what with the pointy-bra’ed, Sex book-y, flirtation-with-heresy past and all, but instead she went and became all stiff and British and wrote some saccharine children’s books and bragged about [...]
Do I remember what it was like to not be a parent? Oh boy, do I ever remember what it was like to be a not be a parent. The absolutely stupid things I would say about becoming a mom that were really stupid? I REMEMBER THEM ALL. Like, how my life wasn’t going to [...]
Is that even possible? I always thought she was playing some kind of twisted parental drinking game that required her to pick up a new tot each time she crossed an international border or she had to chug a case of Budweiser and risk damaging her willowy frame? The only time I thought she could [...]
One of the things that we believe in here at the Bad Moms Club is supporting women in feeling confident in the choices they make for their children. If they can breastfeed, wonderful; if they can’t — for whatever reason — then hey, that’s totally cool too. As long as a child is protected, loved, [...]
As a Canadian, I’d just like to say this: we are in no way responsible for Celine Dion. We disavow Celine Dion. America, please take her, and her babies. They can live in Vegas. She can buy them diamond-encrusted binkies there. You can read more about Celine’s Alors! J’adore to have more babies! project at [...]
In case you ignored my advice and watched that last video and consequently lost a piece of your soul, this video will go some way to restoring it. This baby just had his cochlear implant – hearing thingy for the hearing-impaired – activated and hears his mama’s voice for the first time and OH MY [...]
A friend of mine baked me a cake to celebrate the birth of my first child, our baby girl. It was a beautifully decorated cake, almost too good to eat… but eat it we did, and dang, was it good. I was quite touched by my friend’s gesture. Each person who came to visit crossed [...]
