Experienced Bad Mom Welcomes The Ultimate Blog Party 2012!

April 16, 2012 By Katy 19 Comments

Eek! I’m late.

The Ultimate Blog Party 2012 started last Friday and here I am coming to the party on Monday.

Oh, well. It’s not like I’m claiming to be the most punctual, awesome blogger out there. In fact, my blog is a tongue-in-cheek look at all the ways I’m a bad mom. I decided to embrace my imperfections as a mom since it’s virtually impossible to be a good mom these days. Take the following bad moves into consideration:

  • I only breastfed my daughter 11 months, not 12.
  • I didn’t make my own baby food. I bought Gerber and sometimes the store brand.
  • My son thinks butts and poop are hilarious. Nice.

Not only am I a bad mom, but I’m an experienced  bad mom since I’m messing up 2 kids of different ages. My son, Will, is 8 and my daughter, Sydney, is 5. I celebrate my imperfections and share my exploits here.

Here are some of my favorite recent posts:

American Girl, The Saga

The Hawk, Baby Ducklings, and Pool of Death

The Half Way Mom

My goal? To be entertaining and REAL.

Thanks for dropping by!

    I was late too! Never heard of it until today! Oh well, better late than never. Ha. I don’t call you bad, more like a “REAL” mom. It’s not all rainbows and unicorns having babies, then rearing them, molding them into people to be accepted into the world. Yeah, okay. It’s a job. I look forward to coming by and reading more about you! Thanks for sharing.

    RIGHT. ON.
    Stopping in from UBP, and always overjoyed to find another bad mom. I’m terrible. Like, I make my kids do chores all the time, even though they’re only 10 and 14, and I allow them to eat boxed mac-n-cheese and ramen noodles…but I make them cook it. Shameless.

      Wow, that’s right up there with my behavior! It’s a miracle they still let us parent. Thanks for coming to visit and commenting.

    Great goal! It looks like you’re accomplishing it! 🙂

    My son is 13, and he still thinks butts and poop are hilarious. Normal? IDK???

      Great. Just what I thought–my son’s admiration of butts and poop will continue indefinitely! Thanks for stopping by!

    Hello from the UBP! I love, love, love your website! We have only girls in our household and there is still a lot of poop talk. 🙂

    Hello Katy! I don’t think boys ever grow out of poop and butts being funny…mine is 10 and still finds humour in it. I hope you have a great time at the party! Party on!

      Hello and welcome! You bring up a good point–I think even grown men think poop and butts are hilarious! Party on!

    Hi, I found you at the UBP and am now a new subscriber. I love your blog name! Mine is Worst Mom Ever, so I think we’ll get along! I also have a 5 and 8 year old, and it’s nice to read that their behaviour is normal.
