The Key to a Successful Parenting Blog: Don’t Take Yourself too Seriously
In my humble opinion (see, there is that sarcasm again) parenting is a tough job. It is a great job, but it is 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and let’s face it – kids can be frustrating. If we weren’t laughing at ourselves, we would probably be crying. Plus, no two children are the same (even twins) and those parents who are convinced that their way is the only way bug the shit out of us. Nobody likes a know-it-all. And so far nothing has convinced me that In don’t really know anything as much as my daughter has. And she is not even three years old yet. I can’t wait until she is a teenager.

Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amLove the knitted naked suits. Pity it is too warm here in Australia (where we have a sense of humour)to wear them.

Oksima team has a great offer. It is the pay per click, not for impressions advertising. To my mind – great offer. And they give first 5 free clicks. Why not to try? It is on http://advertizing.oksima.biz
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amAnne Lamott says that is Jesus’ day, they used to stone a few 13-year olds. And that mothers were often at the front of the stone-throwing crowd, having to be restrained.
She says the practice also helped keep the other 13-year olds in line.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI just love that someone somewhere made those remarkable, fabulous, wild suits andddd now all the puritan parents out there are calling Human Services about it.
Did these puritans not get the gist of your article? Lighten up parenting Nazis and have a laugh. It sounds like you could use one.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI agree with Karen, I wouldn’t want to be
seen in PUBIC with those SKIN SUITS on!!
And that public hair on the lady is way too
thick and needs to be trimmed into a
landing strip and Diana, yes that chest hair
is excessive too & looks like a bat! And are
the kids really going to Trick or Treat in
those suits for Hallo(teenie)weenie?LOL
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amHoly crap, I once knitted a scarf…. a BARBIE scarf. That is a lot of knitting, my friend. Seems like they would be scratchy – wonder what they’re knitted out of?
Anywho, I’m also horribly disturbed – by the crazy ass design of his “chest hair”!
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amShit if Devra didn’t beat me to it. I mean that is soooo obvious. And, I guess I could see how people might think it is your famly — beg to differ with Zandria… Behold how they glow and all have really unique socks.

Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amMy first reaction wasn’t even about the girl touching the man’s fake penis, it was “What’s with the guy with the Rorschach on his chest?” and then I got distracted even more and thought “Well, maybe it’s a Flor de lis.” Then I became highly suspicious that had been tricked into taking a Rorschach test. I then became quite concerned about who might be behind this ruse of making people take a Rorschach test when they didn’t know they were even being tested.
I strongly believe in subjects giving informed consent! After seeing that picture I was preparing to leave Sarah a comment to rip her a new one for tricking innocent readers into taking a Rorschach unbeknownest to them.
Then I read the comments and realized how screwed up my thinking was. This is an actual picture of Sarah’s family with all of them age enhanced show how her entire family would look in a few years as naked Doodlebops.
Sarah, if you are going to post that kind of pic of your age-enhanced family you need to at least photoshop your knee wrinkles and wear the brightly colored wigs so it’s not distracting from the great stuff you said in your post about not taking ourselves so seriously.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amOh man. I’d have expected these comments on babycenter. Do you have a link to info about the photo? It’s disturbingly hilarious (or hilariously disturbing?)
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amThe picture is hilarious, those serious comments are disturbing. These kind of sickos (the commentors) walk among us, and I don’t know who they are. Those comments have emotionally upset me, I think I’m scarred for life, I need therapy, quick, before I start a life if disturbingly serious comments to comedic photgraphs.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI can’t stop looking at that picture – those kids are going to be scarred for life.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amThese commenters are hilarious! I can’t believe they thought those people in the picture were really naked. (Helloooo, look at the baggy legs!) Or that it was YOU and YOUR family.

Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amUptight people of the internet, relax! Naked bodysuits, now THAT’S comedy!
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI guess you can tell by the comments who the owners of successful parenting blogs are.
BTW, I can’t believe they bought that part about the picture being somebody else. Nice save.
lionandmagicboy commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amDo they wear the suits in pubic, er, I mean public?
That’s a LOT of knitting. I have yet to finish a sweater.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amWill the suits be available for Halloween? So much better than the typical “witch” costume I usually wear to greet the “Trick or Treaters”?
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amtotally inappropriate photo.
GoonSquadSarah commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amThank you, ZeitgeistMama. It isn’t my family, it’s art.
(ps – it’s not a real penis either.)
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amThis isn’t a photo of the blogger people, simmer down. It’s an artist and her family in people suits that she knit.
I think it’s a pretty damn funny picture.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amThis whole picture is more than disturbing. How you are all dressed is ridiculous. You actually think this is ok? I would put up up for the worst parents in the world. There is nothing faintly cute or funny. You should be reported to Protective services.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI, too, find this picture disturbing. Since when is it funny to have a girl holding her dad’s penis, even if it’s fake?
Very disturbing.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI’m laughing so hard over that picture that I don’t know what to say! What the?!
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amWhy in the world have you published a picture with your daughter holding her father’s “penis”?
