Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.
Bad moms, bad dads, bad grandmas, bad aunts, bad neighbors, bad EVERYBODY – and also everybody who hasn’t yet embraced their inner badness, which is to say, EVERYBODY, full stop… GO VOTE. Voting is the new good. Voting is also the old good. Voting is NECESSARY. Go do it.
9,748,546. That is not the balance on my credit card. That, my friends, is the number of eligible voters who did not cast a ballot in the 2008 election. Almost 42% of us. I guess we decided we had something better to do. We stayed home in droves. In fact, more people did not vote [...]
Subject: Oh , sigh… Karen, I’m sick of mothers who think that their voice is the only one that should be heard or that matters. I chose not to have children and resent that I have to pay for the health, education and care of the kids of mothers who willingly chose to bring them [...]
It’s election time in Canada and there are plenty of highly criticized tools, like CBC’s Vote Compass, that you can use to figure out how you should vote. If none of those do it for you and you still don’t know where to place your X on May 2 (you are going to vote, right? [...]
It’s -29 outside. Twenty Nine Degrees Below Zero. That’s Celsius, but really, who cares. -29 might as well be -400. Either way, I’m sure as hell not going out in it. It would be one thing if it was just me. I can suck it up, put on snow pants and my enormous fluffy parka [...]
Listen up kids, here’s how to get in the history books: discover a supernova. Supernovas are star explosions and the first one to find one gets the distinction of being recorded as the discoverer so if you are good at Where’s Waldo, this is how you can get your name etched in history. Take 10-year [...]
Last week Catherine and I took a quick trip – approximately 4,000 kilometers down the road from Ontario, but still – to Kelowna, BC, so that we could try out some new cars for our friends at GM Canada, who are nice like that. (Actually, I travelled closer to 6,000 kilometers for this quick trip [...]
We do, we really do love our Canadian stuff. My childhood (and probably yours) wouldn’t have been complete without the following Canadianisms to shape and influence our growing brains:
Did you know that there are more people in the state of California than there are in the entire country of Canada? Did you know Canada is the biggest supplier of oil to the US? (And we don’t dump it into major bodies of water – take that BP.) Did you know Canada is to [...]
Happy Canada Day, eh! Hey, I’m allowed to make fun of the way we speak because I am Canadian (you know I am). Wow. That first statement is rife with Canadiana that my foreign friends may not detect. Oh Canada, we are so into inside jokes. Anyway. Today is the day to celebrate mapletasticity, baconisim, [...]
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, [...]
Okay, um, WHOA. Any other Gen-X Canadians out there remember this show? And if you do, do you remember it being this totally, skeevily, pervy? *shudders* I totally remember watching this show – Just Like Mom! Starring Fergie Olver! Creepiest guy ever! – and I totally remember begging my mom to go on it. She [...]
Our kids are receiving sex education as early as kindergarten. In British Columbia, that meant a notice folded into the papers which came home with the year’s curriculum regarding in-class discussion of appropriate and inappropriate touches and how to say “no” if the children felt frightened or uncomfortable. By grade 7 they are being taught [...]
Oh, hey you guys! You should totally vote this up, and then come to North By Northeast to join the conversation. We’ll bring beer. And this is Toronto, not Austin, so you don’t have to worry about being eaten by hipsters. OUR hipsters are vegetarian and will only attack you if you smell like maple [...]
A recent study in baby development explains, I think, my entirely unscientifically proven assertion that Canadian babies are in fact more intelligent than the average bear. According to science – SCIENCE, people – a chemical that is found in eggs and pork products might help in the development of a baby’s growing brain.
