My favorite line from non-parents is “I was a kid once, so I know”. Yeah, cause that's exactly the same thing!

Based on the trailers (haven’t seen the film yet) it does seem to be satirizing (or attempting to) the made up problems of perfection that a society churns out when the basic needs are so over fulfilled that said society goes poking around for something to pass the time, and inevitably hits on “hey, let’s make…

I once out of curiosity drank left over wine from a glass my parents had left out from the night before. I’m fine. Her kids will be fine. Not cleaning up after one party is not a big deal.

Friend of mine was telling me that the first time he ever had alcohol he was probably 5 and it was at a family gathering at a…

I liked Bell in the trailer “We’ve got a very Boys Don’t Cry vibe happening here.”

There has yet to be a true Mom Movie because I have yet to hear of a breast-pump slapstick scene. Let me set the scene which really needs to be in a Funny Lady Movie:

My BFF lost her mom to pancreatic cancer about 3 months after giving birth to her second child. As we’re going through her mother’s FOUR walkin closets…

It has Jada Pinkett Smith, Wendell Pierce, Wanda Sykes, and Jay Hernandez in it?

Oh, I do appreciate what they do, and a lot of them are fine folks. But every time that I've gone to the meetings and stepped up to help when my schedule allowed, I've been treated with less that an open welcome. From my experience, it's still very cliquey. I do help with other groups - sports, scouts, civic etc. -…

Hmmm... I liked it. I saw a Sunday matinee with my 49 year old sister (who is a mom), her 20 year old daughter (who is not a mom) and myself. We laughed through pretty much the whole thing, as did the audience. It got APPLAUSE after it ended. Which took me back a bit, because usually you only get applause at like a…

Agreed. There are so many flavors of Bad Mom out there. One of my friends, who's a Russian immigrant, got the side eye for serving wine to the adults in their back bar during a soccer team weekly spaghetti feed. It earned her a hearty hand-slapping from one of the "caring moms", and I felt bad because she felt bad.…

I dunno I think maybe you are missing the point. They aren’t actually supposed to be bad moms. They are just tired of being held to too high of a standard. And the sanctimommies are real and they will criticize anything you do. The idea of giving in to what works and what is fun to be a “bad mom” isn’t really giving…

Haha. I thought that, too. Then again, it could also mean that they were helping and doing their share, but women get all this Pinterest pressure and they try to make everything picture perfect, which just leaves them exhausted all the time and it’s pointless. And they wanted to show how society has made moms this way.

Good luck. You’ll see soon enough.

I think we’ve discussed this before, you and I, but yes. So much yes. I’m very thankful for all that those moms do, but I don’t appreciate the side eye, and it is hard at times to be on the outside of a very large social group/web that’s based around the elementary school and the country club’s daytime activities.

Agreed. And in places with actual people like this, I can’t tell you how big of a deal they make it feel like to be a working mom. You literally are considered a “bad mom” to these women if you aren’t volunteering and up in your kids’ shit every day.

Well, some of the sentiments do ring true. There are so many “rules of conduct” out there, and many of them span families and schools of all income levels. Parent Helper Groups like the PTA do ask for a lot of help, and demands range from manning a table at Open House to setting up and running major fundraisers. Most…

I think you might not be getting that part of the joke is that the things expected of moms are super petty and stupid. So rebelling from them looks super petty and stupid. No, it’s not that big a deal to buy sugary cereal for your kids or not bake from scratch or drop them off late to school sometimes. But society…

How dare this movie imply that women can be shallow and petty? Straight up misogyny. Keep fighting the fight, Jezzies, until all female movie characters are fierce, perfectly formed liberal icons.

My dad is kind of the same way. His father owned a house at 25, he went to a decent school, could play on high school sports teams, had a great community... not rich by any means, but they also went on vacations. Now he sits in his condo and plays on the stock market all day and complains about how Democrats want to…

German since both were there I guess.

This title is a mess, well done on American media for focusing on the refugee part. Also the person who stopped the attack with his bmw and saved many lives was a Muslim, not mentioned in the article.
