Apparently we got snarked in parent_drama again.

I skimmed the posts looking for something to spark it, but it must be a slow day in dramaland, cuz nothing really jumped out as particularly snarkable.

Anyway, until the nonsense subsides, membership requests will be denied immediately.

Thanks for playing!

Once again, for those who are still unaware:

If you apply for membership to badparents and you are a member of parent_drama or other parenting community snarkfests, you will be automatically rejected. If you continue to spam my email with applications, you will be banned.

Thanks, and have a good day!

Due to the massive influx of membership requests from snark communities, I am temporarily closing membership.

I'll re-open it at some point, but for now I'm too busy to be dealing with people who have little else to do with their time but troll a pretty nice group of people.

Thanks.

I had just been telling Todd and Cindy over supper tonight how much Emma's been lying lately. And convincingly, too. She told me the other day that she had to sit out of phys. ed. because she didn't have proper shoes. I was secretly outraged. I had mentally constructed an email to her PE teaching pointing out that 6-year olds are not olympic ( Read more... )

Just a reminder:

If you are seeking membership in this community, you MUST have something in your userinfo that indicates you are in some way a parent/guardian/spend a lot of time caring for children.

If you do not have these details, I may go skim your journal, but if that doesn't give me some sort of indication as to your motivations for the ( Read more... )

The basic story is that In may 07 our toilet broke and started overflowing on its own while we were sleeping, running for no more than 5 hours before i realized i heard water rushing. Enough water hit the floor that is leaked through the floor into my living ( Read more... )

Last night we borrowed Paula's truck to get Em a new bed. We were all crammed in the front, Emma in the middle with her little legs on either side of the gear shift. We stopped for a pee break, first Steve, then me. While Steve and Em were waiting in the truck for me to come out of the gas station, Steve was adjusting the towel on the seat Paula ( Read more... )

Hi. First-time poster. Here's what I have to say today ... why I should be and am part of the badparents community:

Holy frick; I could have written this paragraph:

Bennet-Speer says she'd never been very interested in children, but had assumed she'd have them because "that's what you do, get married and have kids." When she met her husband and he ( Read more... )

Ok, so I'm having an influx of requests to join.

If you have recently requested to join and are a member of parent_drama or any other parent-group snark communities, you will be rejected ( Read more... )

So, after my break down in yesterdays post, I decided I should post a funny one. My son has an obsession with his belly button. Its an innie/outie which basically means sometimes it sticks out, but other times its flat.Anyhow, its been a running joke that he will eat until his "timer" pops. He will eat so much at one time, that his belly button ( Read more... )
