My wife Kim just finished up all of our back to school shopping, during which she saw her fair share of parental mischief. She reported back to me (I was, thank the gods, spared the trip to Targét) that parents were running one another over to get the last of the dwindling supplies. The local […]
Now here’s one hell of a hard blog to read. Motherless is devoted to real stories by real people who have lost their mothers, physically or emotionally. It’s the latter stories that really knee you in the crotch. Take this tale from Jo of Jo’s Cafe, whose mom created an abusive home environment (a place […]
Come on down, Brandon Scott Lewis! (No relation to Daniel Day, as far as I know.) You’re next in line for Worst Father of the Year award! The 22-year-old apparently thought it was a good idea to develop a cocaine habit. Additionally, he saw no problem with leaving the substance around where his none-month-old son, […]
Ugh. The John Hogan case has got to be the most heart-rending tragedy I’ve encountered in years. New information is leaking out slowly, come of it contradictory. One news report claims that Hogan tossed his son Liam to his death before jumping with his daughter in his arms; another report claims he cradled both kids […]
It’s nice to take a break once in a while from blogging about murderers, rapists and cokeheads in the parenting spectrum, and instead focus my attention on someone whose worst crime is run-of-the-mill stupidity. Yes, folks, it’s time for more Britney Spears-Kevin Federline dish! This is hardly news by now, but I would be remiss […]
The wife of John Hogan, the man I christened a "total bastard" after he jumped off of a hotel balcony window with his son and daughter, is defending her husband. Natasha Hogan claims her significant other’s actions were "totally out of character".
Um…okaaaay. Apparently, society’s definition of "good parent" is becoming more lax by the […]
Direct from Heaven, it’s…the Armor of God PJs! Perfect for your little Crusader or Crusaderette (who will, of course, remain at home squeezing out babies while her husband slays the Muslims and the Atheists, natch). Why not? It’s been a long time since we’ve had a good children’s crusade.
Personally, I think they got the costumes […]
[UPDATE: I’ve redacted this entry. Based on all reports, Tom Frazza was a good man and father who experienced a sudden, inexplicable slide into madness. My job here is to hold parents to account for their crimes; that mandate doesn’t apply when someone may not be in full control of their actions. I apologize for […]
Recently, I caused a stir on DadCentric when I maintained that people who commit suicide are selfish pricks. I stand by that contention. It’s perfectly possible to have compassion for someone who’s suffering to the point of self-immolation, but revile them for saddling their survivors with so much pain and grief.
At the time, I […]
"Okay, guys, I’ve left the engine on so you can get the A/C and listen to the radio while daddy’s out. You’ve got snacks and water on the floorboard, so you should be fine. If ya gotta piss or shit, just walk over to Como Elementary School there and do it on the playground, in […]
