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 […]

Yeah, not exactly screaming evil is it. “Oooohh!! Look out!! Here comes the Environmentally Friendly EG Mobile!!” But imagine the money I could save with this – money to go towards bigger, better, more evil toys!! YES!! Anywho, I don’t care. This is cool. MDI Enterprises have developed a car […]

Which sicko out there thought it was a good idea doing April Fools Day straight after “Chocolate/Diabetic Coma Long Weekend?” Do you have any idea how long it takes for kids to wake up on Monday morning after they have filled their bellies with chocolate eggs and bunnies? Well, in […]

I’ll be honest with you – we don’t celebrate Easter, per se. For Evil Genius Inc, it’s a 4-day long Festival of Chocolate. A long weekend of sleep and chocolate. The only thing we truly consider worthy of celebrating is the honorary sleep-in that EG Dad and I score on […]

There are some questions that need to be asked, and really are quite stupid in their execution – no matter how you ask them. Sometimes you don’t even realise it until some additional contextual feature kicks in – like International Women’s Day. Yesterday, I was sitting in my midwife appointment, […]

EG Grandma has just left the building. It was a flying visit (hold off on the broomstick jokes, people) – EG Grandma extended a stopover in town from a couple of hours to almost 24 hours. Just enough time to visit the spawnlings, spoil them rotten, give them tips on […]

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 […]
