"Bad Mom Confessions"
Posted by Gordon Smith

A couple of hours ago, people starting showing up at Conglomerate after following a search for "Bad Mom Confessions" on MSN. That search turns up this old confession from Christine, but why the sudden interest in Bad Mom Confessions -- and only through MSN's search engine?

Usually, these sorts of event are precipitated by breaking news, but the only thing I could find today was a story about True Mom Confessions, a site where mothers can "unload" anonymously. Holy Cow! If you want to know what your mother was really thinking about you, here is a sample of some recent posts:

My 8yr old only eats cereal. I make dinner, but he won't eat anything I make!!  Why is he so damn picky!

I am in love with one of my son's friends. I am not ashamed.

i just want my life back, i wanna go out with friends, i like my husband and teenagegirls. but my dogs and cats have a better life than i have

My three year old son will cry and whine way more throughtout the day than my 1 year old daughter. Why? It irritates that hell out of me that he's so wussy.

I want to trade in my husband for a wife.

If you agree with any of the foregoing sentiments, you can click a link labeled "me too." Here is the top "me too" vote getter on the site:

When the phone rings, I sing.."the phone...the phone is riiinggging. The phone... I'll be right therrrreee."

When I eat something, even if it isnt that tasty, I say it's "delisiouso".

All paw prints are "clues"  and  I speak with an australian accent when I tell my husband to press a button on the remote.

Thanks a lot Noggin for making me a PSYCHO!!

I admit that I don't understand this, but I gather that it has something to do with this site? I'll bet Christine could tell me.

Anyway, this didn't solve the mystery of the MSN search, but it was a fascinating tangent.

I don't get the phone reference; Dora the Explorer says "delicioso"; the third is a combination Blue's Clues/Wiggles reference; and yes, Noggin is a kid's cable TV station. As one of my friends put it, you know that you've lost your mind when you develop a preference for "Steve-era Blue's Clues" or "Joe-era Blue's Clues" or have an opinion about which "Zaboomafoo" brother is the cutest.

The first is a 'WonderPets' reference and I think the third is a combination 'Blue's Clues'/'UpsideDown Show' reference. I'm not much on WonderPets (neither are my little ones - it's a 20 minute operetta about animals rescuing animals), but the cancelling of the UpsideDown Show is one of the worst entertainment stories of the year. As you can see, these particular items are parent-gender neutral, unlike, ahem, some of the other True Mom Confessions.
