Father’s Day is approaching for minions in the United States of America. For Mother’s Day last month, EG Dad received a little robot vacuum cleaner. Yes, I know – EG MUM is supposed to receive on Mother’s Day, not EG Dad. But hey, this was given to him (a prize […]

Sometimes life is just too well-timed for my liking. Sitting back last week, and I find myself chortling along with EG Dad as he reads Big Family, Little Income. Apparently, there’s a bit of talk about the stereotyping of dads – particularly the portrayal of dads as dumb-arses. Don’t get […]

Here’s a little background on Evil Genius Mum: I come from a long line of musicians. Talented musicians. Very talented. My only saving grace: the ‘music genes’ are usually accompanied by the ‘maths genes’. … Nope I’m screwed on that front too. But, it appears that Sinister and Nefarious have inherited the […]

I swear, this new spawnling hates me. This is the roughest pregnancy I have had yet. Most of my favourite foods are off limits or suddenly taste disgusting; my sleep pattern is disturbed AFTER Nefarious finally learns to sleep through the night continuously; and the mood swings are bringing on […]

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 […]

I came across a Letter of Resignation this week that had me pause and appreciate the evolutionary power of a very evil genius parent. One that almost every other human parent will face, if not fear, at some stage in their parenting role. Head Lice. This simple little creature has bettered one […]

Yep. This week is about sex. I have not laughed so hard as I did reading not one, but TWO blog posts featuring sex. That is not to be misinterpreted as a reflection on EG Dad, but more like parenting in general. Especially with kids. And the hormonally imbalanced (read: yep, […]

Ssssshhhhhh. Last week was locked up in the Evil Genius dungeon. This week isn’t looking much better. My attempts at meteor-collision with Earth failed. EG Dad is being all understanding and compassionate. And even the spawnlings’ teachers are telling me how fantastic, mature, and responsible they are at school/preschool. With […]
