Booster Shots
I’ve really just about had my fill of being a “booster parent.” Ever since my children were young, I swore that I would be the mom that was always at every function, cheering on my children, very much the OPPOSITE of how my parents did me…they didn’t even take pictures at my high school graduation, but [...]

Wednesday, August 19, 2009
Too bad they aren’t. I love marching band. I marched with the band as a songleader in high school, and now my son is starting his adventure with the marching band. Call them what you will…band fags, band geeks…but the reality is that they have their own brand of cool, completely unfettered by the inevitable “point [...]

Monday, May 4, 2009
I’ve been going to the fair since I was a little kid. Nothing profound there but I have always been somewhat mystified by the experience and I look forward to it every year. It had been a few years since I had been and I was really bummed to miss it last year so I [...]

Do you see this? This is the bite that my ex’s girlfriend’s mother’s DOG took out of my son’s ass. Am I pissed? You BETCHA. Here’s the setup – I needed to go out of town for half the day on Sunday, and she said she would watch my children. I certainly couldn’t ask their FATHER because, [...]

I hope you guys can read this, because I don’t know how to make it any bigger. The basic gyst of this article is that someone has written in complaining that their friend who has a kid won’t make time to call or answer an email. The writer of the question is then shamed for [...]

I love reading how cracked out parents can be. I dunno, I mean call me old fashioned but I’ve just always associated the idea of “Parent” as synonymous with those silly things like “responsible”, “upstanding”, “role model”. Even “intelligent”. But with every new day, a new file is dropped on my desk in this series [...]

Honestly, I blame the McCaugheys. You remember… Kenny and Bobbi McCaughey and their septuplets. Fucking SEPTUPLETS. The drill is always the same. “We couldn’t have babies, so we prayed about it and God blessed us with all these wonderful babies and promised to take care of all of us!!!” My question is this: Why weren’t you listening [...]

Now that we are all coming down off of the Halloween induced sugar high, we are officially entering the season to be thankful. Thankful we haven’t been foreclosed on. Thankful that our bank did not go tits-up under the cloak of night, swallowing our entire life savings. Thankful that this Goddamn election will be OVER [...]

The first line of the story says it all: STEVENSVILLE, Montana (AP) — About 90 elementary school students in Montana have started a series of rabies shots after a parent let them touch a dead bat that was later confirmed to be diseased. But really, to get the full effect, you have to keep reading: The mother of [...]

Here is a fantastic little bipartisan tale that everyone can enjoy. I hate vomit. I doubt there is anyone reading this that says, “Not ME, I LOVE IT!!!” But I REALLY hate it. Unfortunately, one of the risks of having children is that they will erupt like Mt. Vasuvius at the drop of a hat. Generally speaking, that [...]

Wow parenting just gets better and better these days! Now, if you make a mistake – or nine of them – Nebraskan law says you can just click “cancel” and call it a day! I can see it: Hi honey, how was your day? Fine snookums. I got tired of changing diapers for Billy, Samantha was giving [...]

I’ll never understand why we have to pass tests to get past first grade, get a driver’s license, or get into eharmony.com, but to bring a child (or twenty) into the world? Nothin. We live in a world of creating stockpiles of band-aids to fix our severed limbs as a society. What ever happened to “an [...]
