I’d put money on the fact that most of these parents are not Don Draper pulling a trippy, ego-fueled weekend in his Madison Avenue office or self-absorbed young actress types like Megan Draper. These are probably poor people struggling to make ends meet and keep it together on a daily basis. They are not “bad” parents. More
The mother and son duo stole a “Sunny D and a Goldfish” according to a store employee. And if the idea of a mom taking her child shoplifting isn’t weird enough on its own, the video surveillance seals the deal. More
The boy’s mother (who reportedly filmed the joyride) doesn’t think the whole thing is a big deal. She bragged about her son’s driving skills just as any other mother would brag about her son scoring a goal in a soccer game: More
It is unfathomable to me that there exists a person that would do this to their own offspring. A New Jersey woman told her community that her healthy nine-year-old son was dying of stage three Hodgkin’s lymphoma so she could raise money for his “treatment.” To make the scam even more authentic – she even convinced her own son he was dying. More
Loading and unloading your baby when you go shopping can be a real pain in the ass. Still, the effort it takes does not justify leaving a baby in the car like a heavy purse. A New Zealand mother left her baby in the car while she shopped with a note for any passers-by to call her if there was a problem. What? More
I’m one of those people who really doesn’t care if a crying baby gets on my plane or sits behind me at a restaurant (unless the restaurant is so upscale that I wore a nice dress). I can drown out noises that happen because of human nature. What I can’t drown out, however, and what I refuse to tolerate are parents who allow their children to throw food, tantrums, or run all over the place without supervision. You know who I’m talking about. The parents who think the world is their changing table, and throw dirty diapers at drivers they don’t like. The parents who act like the rest of civilization is the problem, certainly not them. More
A few days ago, I arrived home from work to find that my son had been bitten by another child. And no, that child was not a toddler from his daycare going through a somewhat common, but frustrating, biting stage. My son is seven. The biter is eight or nine. This happened on the bus as he was coming home from school. More
Kris Jenner, the textbook momager who reportedly coached her daughter on how to make a sex tape, promotes the births of her grandchildren like nobody’s business, and piles her entire family onto reality TV, says that she doesn’t exploit her family. In related falsehoods, the sky is a solid shade of magenta and I’m a man. More
The unidentified pregnant 16-year-old who was reportedly being forced to have an abortion by her parents will be threatened no longer. The latest development in the completely anti-choice manipulation of pro-choice legislation reveals that the abortion-pushing parents have officially agreed to knock it off. Her body. Not yours. More

There has been a lot of talk lately about how to curb our violent culture. We’ve all been worried about how to keep our children safe. These parents who not only find violence acceptable, but encourage and help their children solve their problems through violence, they are a huge piece of the problem. More
Ever since Real Housewives starlet Brandi Glanville‘s book has come out, Drinking and Tweeting, journalists have been skimming what I’m sure are some very exhilarating pages to juice even more details from the Brandi Glanville LeAnn Rimes debacle – which it turns out has been the perfect platform to sell a book. This is what I like to call MFTD — Made For Tabloid Drama. So much so that I can’t even properly investigate Kate Middleton’s pregnancy shawls without finding myself Brandi Glanville adjacent. Every time I suit up to go dig for pregnancy rumors or swim in the bowels of tabloid comments, I’m treated to a new gem of how mother Brandi Glanville handles the parenting thing.
Custody battles are never pleasant. But that is no reason to avoid one altogether by giving your child up for adoption without consulting her birth father. Who does that? Tira Bland apparently thought it would be a good idea. She placed her two-year-old up for adoption at birth, without her husband’s knowledge. This story is really weird. More
You often hear bad parenting blamed for the behavior of children. If you hear a child swear, it’s always, Well, where do you think he learned that? I’m usually in agreement with this theory. After seeing this story – even more so. A California mother allegedly waited in an alley with her daughter to help her beat up another classmate. Who gets the mother-of-the-year award? Not her. More
Things got a little heated in the Mommyish offices today. While discussing an upcoming interview about helping parents learn to control their anger, Lindsay Cross and Eve Vawter found themselves debating whether there’s any excuse, or any cure, for a parent who lets stress and frustration lead to “blowing your stack” with your kids.
