Dessert for Breakfast

Think of the most heinous accusation that has ever been hurled in your direction. If you are a parent, you likely shudder at the thought of being categorized with these derelict moms and dads, who shouldn’t even be free to walk the earth, let alone be allowed to influence a young life. While you may refrain from using an electronic dog collar to shock your young children as a means of punishment and entertainment, attaching your 13-year-old to the roof of the family van to hold down a large cardboard box, knowingly poison your kids in an effort to score … Continue reading →

Reluctant Parents?

The other day I was dashing through the aisles of the grocery store desperately trying to find peanut-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, yet highly nutritional individually wrapped snacks, which tasted good enough that the kids in my daughter’s first grade class would actually eat them. I narrowed my search to the Fruit Roll-Up/Gushers/Fruit by the Foot aisle and stood alongside a little boy who was busily scaling shelves. His parents were no where in sight. After five minuets of watching the kid scatter fruit snack boxes around like they were mini cardboard blocks I softly asked him if he knew where his … Continue reading →

Mom Robs Bank for Kids

Well, something like that. How many times have you considered robbing a bank in order to score some fast cash? Most of us joke about committing the federal offense at some time or another, especially during tough economic times. Of course, a joke is just that; something to laugh about. I’m sure most people don’t actually make serious plans to carry out the risky and illegal job. That goes double for parents. After all, parents are supposed to be role models for their kids and what kind of example are you setting if you are rotting in a jail cell … Continue reading →

Dumb Move By Dad Makes International Headlines

It went from bring your kid to work day, to have your kid do your work day, to you may not have a job to work at day. I’m referring to the mega controversial incident involving air traffic controller, Glenn Duffy, who allowed his 9-year-old twins to direct planes at one of the nation’s busiest airports. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard the recordings of Duffy’s questionable stunt at Kennedy Airport. According to news reports, the 48-year-old dad allowed his two children to relay instructions to pilots on two separate days. Duffy brought his son to … Continue reading →

Poor Parenting Or Just Evil?

People do stupid things… and parents are no exception. However, there comes a point when you wonder where the line is drawn between poor parenting techniques and seriously deranged moms and dads who are inherently evil. My fellow blogger Andrea and I have written dozens of posts that feature parents who exhibit questionable behavior when it comes to raising their offspring. In some cases it’s hard to tell if their actions—-many of which fuel news headlines and land them in jail-—are the result of in-the-moment bad parenting decision making, stupidity, selfishness or a combination of all three. Case in point: … Continue reading →

Extreme Punishments

Note to angry parents: Shaving off your kid’s hair to punish her for shoplifting is NOT a good idea. Just ask Ajpacaja-Ajiataz. The Florida dad claims he lost it when he heard that his tween daughter stole jewelry from the local Wal-Mart, and then used a Game Boy without permission, so he did what any angry parent would do… first he hit her with a belt and then he shaved off all her hair. For the record, the 34-year-old father denies using a belt on his 11-year-old daughter, though he did admit that he cut off her locks in a … Continue reading →

Not So Bad Dad

With guys like Jon Gosselin, Alec Baldwin, Mel Gibson and the jerk who poisoned his kids for cash, still living and breathing, it’s easy to see why dads get dissed a lot in the media. But, not all dads are bad. In fact, some are down right nice. Just ask Joe Girardi’s daughters. New York Yankees’ manager Joe Girardi is the father of three children, and knows the importance of keeping the bond between child and parent strong. Girardi made headlines recently when he modified rules that put restrictions on players’ kids having access to their dads in the clubhouse. … Continue reading →

Another Real Bad Dad

Move over Alec Baldwin, Mel Gibson, Jon Gosselin, “Slumdog” star pop, and the rest of you so-called “bad dads,” the feds have declared a new winner in the race for the world’s worst father. U.S. Marshals maintain that when it comes to pathetic parents Byron Perkins takes the cake. In 2005, the 40-year-old father pleaded guilty to drug and weapons charges in federal court. Perkins was sentenced to jail and remained there until last year when his young son became deathly ill and needed a kidney transplant to survive. Perkins begged a judge to release him on bond so he … Continue reading →

Angry Dad Uses Pizza to Punish Kid

A father in Florida may never look at pizza the same way again. Ditto for his kid. When the Domino’s guy shows up at your home with a half-pepperoni, half-sausage pizza, I’m pretty sure he’s not thinking his delivery is going to be used as a weapon. Ditto for the rest of the world. Not so much for a father from Florida. According to reports, a 38-year-old Gainesville dad was recently arrested for hitting his daughter with a pizza slice. (Yes, a slice of pizza!) Police say the man was charged with one count of child abuse without great harm, … Continue reading →

Do You Lie to Your Kids?

For some moms and dads the question isn’t do you lie to your kids, but how often do you stretch the truth, and how low do you go when you decide to fib? Well, you can’t stoop much lower than the following dad, who gives the term “bad parenting” new meaning: Have you heard the one about the guy who used Craigslist to advertise for an actor to take the family dog for a walk, then come back and tell his kids the dog bolted? It’s no joke. A single dad trying to not look like a villain in the … Continue reading →
