Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.
I’m very proud of myself this year for sticking to my 2011 New Year’s resolutions. They were the following: … … … As you can see, I set very lofty goals for myself in the areas of self-improvement, kindness, discipline and dust bunny eradication. Now, I have the immense personal satisfaction of knowing that I [...]
I know that this time of year is supposed to be all, happy happy joy joy, but the truth is, there is much about this season that just sucks. Between juggling family obligations, wrapping up school, work and all of those presents – which, of course you have to buy first, causing no amount of [...]
I have a broken wrist and limited typing ability. I will tell THAT entire story some other time. Until then, I will bring you: The Top 5 Christmas Carols For Bad Moms. Because I can do it with minimal typing. Phoning it in FTW! 5. Queen – Thank God It’s Christmas. “Oh my friends it’s [...]
In a disturbing twist on the traditional Santa pics, an Arizona gun club is offering family pictures with Santa – and a few automatic weapons. Apparently seen as fun for the whole family, the club lets you pose with such Peace On Earth harbingers as a grenade launcher, a machine gun, a rifle on a [...]
Upon having each of my babies, I received a very generous amount of gifts. Some gifts were from well-wishers that did not necessarily know me or my politics very well, and while I was touched by their thoughtfulness, some of the gifts were not appropriate for us. There is not really any delicate way of [...]
Yes, I said it. Holidays. Christmas or Hannukkah or Kwaanza or whatever your particular flavour of end of year celebration might be, the season is nearly upon us. Already, you say? WTF? Wasn’t it July 1st last week? And how the hell am I going to get through this without losing my mind? The answer, [...]
Dear Santa: Hi! Happy New Year!! Oooh, was that loud? Sorry. Maybe I should whisper it. hi. I realize you’re probably done in. I know I am after this Holiday season. Is it just me, or do you also find the use of the term “holiday” misleading? A “holiday” to me is sleeping and catered [...]
I dare you to find a cuter video of the story of birth of Christ. First up you are never going to hear cuter accents than these New Zealand children who re-enact the story of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. That boy who plays the Angel Gabriel makes me sigh. Second, the scene where the donkey [...]
In my house, we celebrate Christmas. Both the Christian holiday that includes mass and baby Jesus stories, and the secular holiday that includes presents and stockings and old men sneaking into your house while you’re asleep. I’m all about telling my children that they are being watched while they sleep. One of my favorite parts [...]
Want to prove to your kid that Santa is real? There’s an app for that. Of course there is an app for that because isn’t there an app for everything these days? There’s probably an app that knows the answer to that question. Anyway, someone has created an iPhone app called Elf Cam that allows [...]
You just knew if there was a fake Werner Herzog video featuring fake Herzog reading a children’s classic — NAY — a children’s CHRISTMAS classic floating around the internet that The Bad Moms Club would find it. Behold! ‘Twas the night before the Christmas, a season ruled by all consuming desire. Desire for things or [...]
I’m sure that the majority of you know what bokeh is, but if not, I can tell you what “bokeh” means. Bokeh is the really blurry, kind of funky, background in a photo that may or may not include lights or shapes or random swirls. (If you want the official definition, may I offer up [...]
I’ve never been one to go all-out on Christmas decorating, mainly because I really suck at it. I’m OK if I think nobody’s looking. I’ll go get a wimpy little Charlie Brown Christmas tree and I won’t notice there’s a gigantic hole out of one side and that the tree lists to the other side [...]
Do you know how many times my 5-year old has made me watch the classic stop-animation movie Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer? DO YOU?!?!? I’m not sure either but it’s enough that I pretty much know it verbatim. To think, I once looked forward to this show when it came on TV as a child and [...]
