Experienced Bad Mom

Not Just a Bad Mom, But an Experienced Bad Mom

Good mom for a couple hours

By

This week I would like to thank Kraft/Oscar Mayer Lunchables for making me feel like a good mom! I hosted a Lunchables House Party for my playgroup with games, prizes, and food provided courtesy of Oscar Mayer. We sampled the new healthier Lunchables and got a kick out of the scavenger hunt. It was really [Read More]

Nature…or nurture?!

Here is a photo of me and Will enjoying a ride on the Mansfield, Ohio carousel. If you are ever on Route 30 in the middle of Ohio, I recommend you stop by! We took the kids on several carousel rides. Will loved it. On the last ride, he and I sat next to each [Read More]

Mmmm…

I came out of the shower this morning and went to check that my kids had not burned down the house or choked while I had attended to myself. All looked safe and sound. Except Sydney was chewing something. She looked to be holding some of my recipe cards, too. “Sydney, what are you eating?” [Read More]

Story Time

By

So I hustled my kids into the car tonight and took them to the library for summer story time at 7:00 pm. We arrived right at 7. Turns out summer story time is at 6:30. Oh well!

Sticky Situation

By

I dropped the F-bomb in front of the kids this weekend. Oops. Hope they aren’t scarred for life. This was all brought on because Will was doing a plethora of things he shouldn’t have been doing: 1) He climbed on the furniture2) He climbed on me sitting on the furniture on which he had just [Read More]

Beer Princess

This one falls under the domain of my husband, Experienced Bad Dad! He was putting Sydney to sleep the other night when they had the following conversation about his t-shirt. Sydney asked,“What’s that say?” pointing to the lettering on his shirt. “Lienengugel’s” he says. (It’s a beer, and no, I didn’t spell it correctly) Sydney [Read More]

He’s Just Not That Into You

By

Recently I watched the movie “He’s Just Not That Into You”. I thought it was okay. The women were portrayed as whiny and needy, and the men came across as dogs. Then I realized I was sort of the maternal version. Because after I sent out Will’s birthday party invitations, I was OBSESSED with checking [Read More]

Experienced Bad Dad

In honor of Father’s Day yesterday, here’s a little story of a conversation I just had with Will (soon to be 6 years old!). Will: You have to be 100 to die right? Me: You mean, 100 years? Will: Ya. That’s old right? Me: Well, a lot of people who are 100 years old may [Read More]

Redemption!

By

A while back I posted a story about Sydney playing with her baby dolls and saying, “I can’t play with you right now. I have to go to work!” Well, after this weekend I feel much better about that. Sydney brought two baby dolls to Will’s baseball game to keep herself entertained. On the sidelines [Read More]

Conversations with a 5-year-old

By

I apologize for not sharing so much of my badness lately. The whole bus incident where Will and friends were talking about their penises and butts took me for a loop! Maybe I really am a bad mom. Anyway, I digress. Here for your amusement is the latest conversation I had with Will. Will: When [Read More]

Happy Now
