Recently, I have been asked what the criteria is for the infamous Evil Genius Parent Award. 

 

To be honest, it’s purely subjective – and so it should be. It’s not like I’m going to be offering a democracy when I take over the world. 

 

But I do like to help you out. Mainly because by helping you, I increase my own entertainment – at your expense.

 

Win/win. 😀

 

So what do I look for? Mainly three (3) things:

 

* Make me laugh

* Show that it wasn’t an accident – you DID actually think about how to outsmart your spawnlings, even if only by a fairy-tip-toe

* Make it known within the week

 

Yep. That’s it. I told you – it’s subjective. 

 

This week’s recipient satisfies all of that: Suburban Snapshots. And I like the fact that her blog isn’t your stock-standard, boring, blogs that I see a lot of. *sigh* She’s a photographer who is trying to muddle through the strange world of parenting, while bluffing it all with her kid. And if this is how she prepares for her Summer Holidays, I look forward to reading more.

 

See, it’s not so much about educating your children – it’s the context of their education that shows your greatest EG Parent potential.
