This Associated Press piece about parents who go insane during their children’s sports games contains some real doozies. One of them is the story of Cory Petero, a 36-year-old Pop Warner football assistant coach who decided it was a great idea to shove one of the opposing team’s 13-year-old players to the ground. Petero’s winning […]
Andrea Gordoin of the Toronto Star has a piece up on her blog about a mom in London, Ontario who’s gone "on strike" until her lousy brats shape up and show her some respect. Stressed-out mama Roxanne Toussaint claims that the monsters treat her like dirt, continually destroy the house, and don’t even leave her […]
It seems tacky to bring it up, but seeing that Parents Behaving Badly is a chronicle of all parental misadventures, I’d be remiss in my duties if I didn’t. (Just think of me me God’s Moral Stenographer.) Steve Irwin, a.k.a. The Crocodile Hunter, died tragically this week at the hands of a sea critter who […]
You’ll remember the heart-rending story of Marcus Fiesel, the poor three-year-old boy who was stored in a closet like merchandise for two days while his so-called "foster parents" attended a family reunion out of state. Today’s news reports that the fosters, Liz and David Carroll, have been indicted on charges of murder and kidnapping for […]
Jefferson County, Alabama isn’t fooling around when it says it wants students in school getting their education on. School officials there haven’t hesitated to haul parental asses in to court when mom and dad have failed to do their job of getting their kids to school. Mind you, we’re not talking about the occasional tardy, […]
Okay, folks, we apparently disagree over whether John Hogan is a terrific asshole or a tortured soul. (Why does it have to be either/or, anyway?) But can we at least agree that Byron Perkins is a total, complete bastard? The Kentucky father convinced a judge to let him out of jail so that he could […]
It doesn’t pay not to pay. So learned former hoops star Ralph Sampson, who’s been ordered to take the perp walk and serve sixty days time for failing to pay over $300,000 in support arrears. Sampson and his willie were pretty active during his tenure, with the former ACC champion fathering eight kids by five […]
There’s this one episode of The Sopranos that sums up Tony Soprano’s character so well. Tony has spent several episodes dumping love and affection on a horse that he recently bought. One night, the stable burns down, killing his prized possession. When Tony realizes that two-faced Ralph Cifaretto (Joe Pantoliano) faked the "electrical fire" in […]
I hate blogging about child custody issues. Most of them are muddled messes of "he said/she said", with no clear-cut hero or villain. (Gee, sounds a lot like…life.) And in cases where there’s clear-cut good and evil, it’s often the father who ends up being the dickweed. As a dad, there’s only so many such […]
Do you have a Bob Evans near you? I apparently don’t, as I’m a good 2,000+ miles outside of the Bob Evans heat map. But Mamacita at Weekly Scheiss has one nearby. Unfortunately, what should’ve been a non-eventful trip for biscuits and gravy turned into a Bad Parent Sighting, as MC was forced to witness […]
