Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.
If you thought you had to take your kids to political rallies and demonstrations to turn them into good socialists, you’re dead wrong. All you have to do is park them in front of the television. “I like Jack Layton,” he said pointing at the big orange signs we passed on the way to school [...]
My mother hates Polka Dot Door. Always has; always will. A mainstay of my – and so many, many other children’s – childhood drove my mother absolutely crazy. And although memories of Marigold, Humpty, Dumpty and Bear are happy and cozy to me now, my mother, apparently, had to leave the room while those same [...]
Jo Frost, aka The Supernanny, has decided enough of her time has been spent nanny-bombing desperate parents in a quest to spread peaceful solutions for parenting issues and has decided to end her reality show this season.

Nothing like a little Stealers Wheel to start the day, eh? Well, that’s what the judge in the Gosselin custody hearing thinks Jon and Kate need to keep the plus eight happy. He has ordered the infamous parents to do a parenting class called ‘Children in the Middle‘. Not together, though, because obviously the judge [...]
When I read that Kate Gosselin’s new TLC show focuses on Kate parenting other people’s children the screaming in my head wouldn’t stop. (The only other voice I can hear in my head is that of Hannibal Lector asking me ‘Well, Katie – have the lambs, I mean children, stopped screaming?’ and the answer is [...]
I love having the occasional non-drug-related 80s flashback. This most recent one involves one of the most endearing sitcom family members from the past, Mr. Theo Huxtable. Oh Theo, teach me about stranger danger please?
