I think I am the only person who is not shocked, horrified and otherwise offended by some aspect of the Time magazine cover. You know the one. If you’re not put off by the image of a preschooler breastfeeding, then you’re upset by the way the picture was staged. And if you don’t blame the [...]

Did you hear about the Swedish woman who crashed her car while she was breastfeeding her three-week old? GASP! HOW COULD SHE? THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE! CRIMINAL! LET US ALL GAWK AND POINT AND JUDGE. It’s true. She’s a 30-year-old mother of three who was driving with two of her children in their car seats, but [...]

“I’m thinking about buying an electric breast pump this time around since I had some trouble breastfeeding my first kid. It’s okay to buy a used one, isn’t it?” “Omg, no. I totally breastfed all five of my kids for three years each and I never, ever used a pump.” “Well, you see, I just [...]

Working Dads Get Breastfeeding Breaks In Spain. Huh?

By on October 1, 2010 3 Comments

I think I’m going to need to give Spain an anatomy or biology lesson – or maybe they need to give one to me? did I miss something in 8th grade Biology? -  because this story just seems absurd: Working dads in Spain are entitled to two (2!!) breastfeeding breaks during the day. My questions: [...]

This Bad Mom Doesn’t Want To Eat There Either.

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.

It looks like a purse but is actually Mom's Best Friend

One of the hardest things about motherhood is all the crap you have to lug. There’s the diaper bag and the stroller and your purse and…oh yeah, THE BABY. There is no more “running in the grocery store for a quick sec.” Now it’s a Broadway Production complete with Migraine Headache. It’s awesome. I’ve been [...]

Apparently, this pro-breastfeeding billboard in Ohio left folks frightened and disturbed. Why? Well, because that baby in picture? Has MILK ON HIS CHIN. BREAST milk. From a PERSON. Which is, you know, DISGUSTING. . . . What? Nobody had a problem with those ‘Got Milk?’ ads, where everybody had cow’s milk on their upper lip? [...]

Catherine Keener, apparently, will not eat pork because “piglets suckle, and I’m a mama.” Which, you know, I get – I’m a sometime vegetarian – but, um, don’t calves suckle, too? Also baby goats, and sheeplings, and other creatures from whence our foodstuffs come? Also: not to get all counter-lactivist about this, but given that [...]

Bad Rants: Since When Did Bad Become The New ‘Eww This Makes Me Squeamish?’

By on December 7, 2009 38 Comments

Okay, look: it's a kind of a general rule of Bad Moms Club that preachiness and finger-wagging are not allowed. But there are a few issues about which I get entirely preachy and so, as a founding member of the club, I am going to move that on certain key issues we can preach and [...]
