Oh, I’m Sorry. I Didn’t Get the Memo Where I Was Your Kid’s Parent.

by Angie Pangie

on June 1, 2010 in Parenting

I love my children. I tolerate yours. Sometimes. When I take my girls to the neighborhood pool, I go to make sure they’re not drowning, they’re having fun, and they’re not bothering other people. It’s kind of that oath of parental responsibility we imaginarily signed when we pushed out the babies from our nethers.

I’m Sorry I Broke Your Kid

by Laurin Evans

on May 18, 2010 in Parenting

No child was permanently injured in this post. I wouldn’t do that to y’all. I was terrified watching other people’s kids when my kids started having play dates. Even though I had raised the twin sentinels of destruction to a decent age without any serious mishaps and could handle most anything, I was always worried, always on high alert.

Ricky Gervais in the Role of Mommy

by Laurin Evans

on April 27, 2010 in Parenting

Life with kids is theater. Sometimes it’s Broadway and sometimes it’s a puppet show in a cardboard box, but there is rarely a dull moment. I can get through most things with humor, and my life often seems like a stand-up comedy routine, complete with two tiny hecklers and a lot of jokes about farts. [...]

by Mishelle Lane

on December 28, 2009 in Parenting

I’m a pretty good mother.   At least, I think I am a good one.   Ze kids are smart, they thrive, they have good manners, their sense of humor is really awesome, and–even if some days I want to run screaming for the hills–they are all around good kids. Just for those that don’t know:   I [...]

Wearing pants AKA making Christmas memories

by Tena

on December 22, 2009 in Parenting

I’m lucky I have kids. Otherwise, this Christmas,  I would be sulking about my bills.  I would never leave my house.  I would be wearing my fleece toile pajama pants and men’s hoodie for days on end- using only my dog’s sniffing and humping of my crotch as an indication that it may be time to shower.  I [...]

by Angie Pangie

on November 30, 2009 in Parenting

I love my girls more than anything in the world. More than TV, more than the intertubes, more than brownies. That totally says that I love them UH LOT. My girls are 5 and almost 4 – 18 months apart and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love that we planned had them [...]

Are You Serious?

by ASouthernFairytale

on October 21, 2009 in Parenting

“Are you serious?” is sooo much nicer to say to your 3 year old than, “Are you freaking kidding me?” “Are you trying to drive me absolutely batballs crazy?’ Those phrases are on the tip of my tongue on a daily basis because my 3 year old climbs walls (literally)… he unscrews hinges of doors [...]

by Katie Motherbumper

on October 19, 2009 in Parenting

Yes, that is a totally sensational post title, reminiscent of one of my favourite guilty pleasures: British Tabloid Headlines but OH MAH GAWD, I think it might be true. She is trying to kill me and make it look like natural causes. Here is my proof: Hallowe’en has to be one of my most favourite [...]

Things I never expected to have to say before I had kids.

by Angie Pangie

on October 12, 2009 in Parenting

WARNING: The following post is just like “Shit My Dad Says” but a little grosser and originates from the other end of the age spectrum. “Just let her have a lick!” This was exclaimed after one kid wasn’t letting the other kid taste her lollipop. Why anyone would let someone else lick their lollipop is [...]
