One Sith Lord at a Time

What is it about the bad guys that is just so good? Disney just released a bunch of new characters and discs for their Disney Infinity range; more specifically the Disney Infinity 3.0 Now, while I wasn’t on the original bandwagon for the Infinity game, I am slowly converting over. […]

Evil Genius Parent Tool #8 – Reading

Do you read bedtime stories with your kids? You are an Evil Genius Parent, setting your spawnlings up with an unfair advantage and must be stopped!! Apparently. *shrug* meh Look, we’ve had many people harping about the benefits of reading But recently some one let ALL the crazies out of […]

Evil Genius Parent Tool #7 – The Sofa

Sofa. Couch. Lounge. Apparently there are subtle differences to distinguish between the three, but I don’t care. I’m calling it a sofa today. Wait. Nope. I’m wrong again. 20mth old Zaltu, Goddess of Mischief and general toddler-behaviour, has just corrected me again. It’s the Bat Cave.    And yes, these […]

EG Parent Award #53

Ohhhh… it has been awhile. But there is nothing like April Fools Day to bring out the Evil Genius in us all. I like it even better when you can combine April Fools Day with Easter. Previous years have included the Infamous Green Easter Egg Hunt, and last year was […]

Never Wake a Sleeping Dragon

Order! All rise! Parenting Court is now in session!! Presiding Judge is Her Honour, Judge Judgey McJudge (of the renowned Bee-yatch clan). You may now be seated. I am typing this from the front seat of my Harley Quinn truck family car. 5 mins before arriving at the shopping centre, […]

Pyjama Day

Yeeeeaaaah – comfy pants. Some parents cope with school holidays by sending the spawnlings on camp, or to grandparents. Other parents team up and share the ‘babysitting’ around – amateur hour. At some time, it’s your turn to have a dozen or so 10-year-olds all at once. The trick is […]

I Want … A Kid-Size Ecto 1

Harold Ramis has died, and I suddenly have craving for Ghostbusters. Fortunately, we have it on DVD – as any good family should. Methinks movie night this Saturday. But a movie night for the spawnlings doesn’t seem to be enough to honour the comedic genius of Mr Ramis. What other […]

Evil Genius Parent Award #44

Going a bit ‘old school’ today and pulling this belated award from a parent I corrupted at school drop-off last week. Welcome to our fold, Sandra. Though, the following example of your work is more than fine start. Almost every spawnling will forget something in the school bag at some […]

Zaltu the Phlegm-Bot

Never give up. Never surrender!! Not even if your counterpart has taken off overseas for two weeks. That should merely toughen your resolve against the onslaught of spawnlings. Not even if your physical presence weakens with fatigue and wear-and-tear. Oh no – use this as an opportunity to ‘encourage’ your […]
