Here’s a little background on Evil Genius Mum: I come from a long line of musicians. Talented musicians. Very talented.

Last week, I was asked to be an escort on Sinister’s school excursion to a Marine Education Centre. After laughing long and hard about the idea of ME being a ‘responsible, supervising parent’ – I accepted. I can’t guarantee that I’ll ever be invited again. Considering how it ended, that […]

One of the (many) high schools I attended was directly across the road from my house. I kid you not. I could wake up up 0830, throw my uniform on, tie my hair back, grab some toast and a banana as I walk out the front door, cross the road […]

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 […]
