Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.
The blogosphere has its knickers in a knot over this, the Atlanta, GA restaurant that has asked that people take their screaming kids outside to calm them down. Um. Am I the only one that isn’t bothered by this? Seriously. This makes total sense to me. In fact, it’s what I do anyway. If I’m [...]
I hate it when writers take what could have been an interesting topic and worthwhile discussion and turn it into a rant against something they apparently know nothing about.

Instead of congregating together, chatting about the weather, Colin Firth’s hotness or other random things, everyone stands [...]
Posted by Anonymous. I tried to dial the number to the clinic, phone in my hand, frozen by the burden of choice. It’s for the best, my friend told me. We can’t do this, we’re not ready. This from the father, though my mind shied away from words like father and baby. Did I know [...]
My takeaway from the study cited in this story, which states that ‘older mothers’ – women who give birth after the age of twenty-six (TWENTY-SIX. I got married when I was twenty-six. Kids started coming eight years later) – tend to earn higher incomes? I am really effing old. Thanks, science! * * *
So, hey! There’s going to be a Bad Moms Club movie! Because, seriously, it was inevitable, right? Uma Thurman is going to star, and Jennifer Lopez is in talks as well. Avril Poisson, Uma’s publicist, said that Uma is looking to distance herself from her last movie, Motherhood, which performed poorly at the box office. [...]
