April 22, 2013 – Posted in: Conservatives are Funny, Lying, Mean People, Nevada, Politics, Tammy Thinks, Worst Mom RantsA few weeks ago, Senator Dean Heller, the Republican from my state (Nevada), voted to bring gun control up for debate. This isn't generally what Republicans do, so for about 10 seconds I fell into the trap of believing he might actually be a decent guy. Clearly this is why it was so easy to [...]

A Case of Bullying: Boy on Boy Sexual Assault
April 18, 2013 – Posted in: Bullying, Mean People, Parenting, Solicited Advice, Worst Mom RantsSo I woke up to an email that made my blood boil this morning. A friend sent me this: I'm only sharing this with you because we are pretty similar in a lot of ways, and I think you'll get my sheer outrage.

Why the Onion Should’ve Asked My Kid About the C-Word Before Getting on Twitter
February 25, 2013 – Posted in: Mean People, Mouths of Babes, Okay That's Funny, Worst Mom RandomnessSo when everybody started freaking out over the Onion calling nine-year-old Oscar nominee Quvenzhané Wallis the c-word, my thought process went something like this: Wow, stay classy. Maybe an intern was tweeting. What idiot would let an intern tweet during the Oscars? Somebody's getting the axe. They'll probably end up on that Katie Couric show. Or [...]
Is Facebook Plugging the Walmart Spring?
November 16, 2012 – Posted in: Angry Tammy, Blogging, Corporatism, Mean People, Politics, Worst Mom RantsSomething really disturbing happened to me on Facebook today. Deep down I'm hoping there's a complicated, techy, and completely legitimate explanation for it, but I'm fearing the worst. First, an explanation. Many of you know I have what's called a "fan page" for World's Worst Moms. Fan pages are different than personal pages. When I [...]

We, of course, encountered a number of "I'm not sure who I'm voting for" people. And then this week, [...]
And the World Kept on Spinning…
October 8, 2012 – Posted in: Gratitude, Grief, Logan's Story, Mean People, Parenting, Personal Insanity, School, Shopping HellSo I'm back in the saddle. At least that's the plan. Research shows that if a person smiles, it actually causes her brain to think she's happy. So in keeping with that theory, I'm just concentrating on doing what I do best -- writing, complaining, yelling at the kids -- in an attempt to start [...]
