Holy crap, this is a long one! I hope you finish it, because it's got some kick ass comments.
Top Read Posts This Week:
Douchey Dads - Whoa Nelly, this one started some discussion, didn't it? I haven't seen so many panties in a bunch since the Elf on the Shelf. I think it's real interesting that I can bash on OAMs, women celebrities, women I see at school or at the store and no one says "boo" to me. But the MINUTE I talk about a man being a dick, I always get a few jackholes who pull this shit: "stick to what you know" (little woman). I always add the little woman part in my head, because it just sounds better. Or "why don't you write about minivans and elves, because you don't know anything about men." (Sweetheart.) Again, just more assholish.
If it's not these dicks telling me to mind my own business, it's their lady folk coming out to defend their men. They really can cause a fury, can't they? I'm sorry your husband is a tool and you just figured that out. It's not my fault that many in this world see him this way and you missed the memo.
When I wasn't being told to shut it, I was accused of being jealous. Jealous of what, exactly? Let's see, I work from home, I'm self employed and I can afford a cluuuubb membership. I could easily be at the club in the middle of the day yukking it up and posing like a big wig with those asswipes closing deals and whatnot - I'm in sales after all. So I guess I'm not jealous of that. Oh I know, I must be jealous of their ability to shit without stank. That is a gift.
Douchey Dad Revisted - I really wanted to be done with all the haters that commented on my post. I thought that a lot of you guys really put these dickheads in their place (thank you for always stepping up and defending me, it means a lot to me) and I just was over it and ready to move on.
The Hubs was hot, though. He decided he had something to say and wow, did he say it!
All of the love he received on this post inspired him to start his own Facebook page and I think he's toying with the idea of a blog. Lord help us if he becomes more popular than me.
Step One of My World Domination Plan - I'm going to be interviewed by Kansas City's NPR station next week and I was ruminating on what exactly I'll say when the interviewer calls my bullshit. "What makes you different?" Even with all the kind words and amazing comments, I'm still pretty sure I sound like a 12 year old girl and I'm going to mumble something like, "Umm....uhh....I say 'fuck' a lot. Oh, crap, can I say that on NPR?"
I think it will be Thursday that I do the interview. I will let you know on my Facebook page, Twitter and the blog. If you're local you can hear it on the radio at KCUR or you can listen to the podcast or live on their website.
Me & My Cleaning Lady - Update on Rosa. She really did move to Omaha. All of her clients got dumped. Her husband got a job offer while she was visiting family in Mexico and he couldn't wait for her to get back. She was aware he was going, so it wasn't like she came home to an empty house or anything. On Monday she showed up at my door with her daughter, Rosa Jr., and offered to have her clean my house. It caught me by such surprise that I wasn't sure what to do. I heard from many of you recommending your cleaning ladies too. I think I'll start with Rosa's daughter and see how I like her and if I'm not happy I'll start interviewing the list I have. Thanks for the referrals!
My Favorite Comments of the Week (and My Replies If Necessary):
Ok, so I have been thinking about all these comments, and I do see some of the opposing points. I agree that you can't know any given persons specific situation. This particular guy may or may not have been a DD, this occourance just made it sound that way. Any one given guy out there that does something douchey may not be a DD, BUT that does not change the fact that there are DD's out there. Ok, maybe the yucking and fake tone and douchey 'in the way-ness' and "concern" over the tooth may have all been accidental coincidences, maybe the guy is an on call doc and is hardly ever at that club, does not change the fact that we all know the KIND of person Jenn is talking about and you can picture them and that false tone and the yucking - the GD yucking....and it is f'n funny!!
Adressing the people that say "well at least he is around and involved" - the title is not "Bad, jackass, POS, deadbeat dad", it is Douchey Dad, so I don't think Jenn was trying to address that particular sort of dad at all. (correct me if I am wrong, Jenn).
I admire the people that politely disagree, they say "hm, just didn't get it Jenn, and I don't agree but I will keep reading", as Jenn is, you are also entitled to your oppinion and you make it easy for me to respect your oppinion when you put it respectfully without angrily lashing out with evil rants.
I fear the people that were the most ANGRY about a funny light-hearted jab at a general type of person either KNOW this person, his wife or are a whooooole lot like them.
That is all (for now), Devan on Douchey Dads
Exactly! This guy was a douche because he came into our space and took over. We rented the room from the club and we were getting ready for a private event that he was not invited to. Maybe this is the room he always steps into to take his calls, because usually it's empty, fine. All I wanted him to do was acknowledge that he was in the way. All he needed to do was look up from his self-absorbed phone call and say, "Whoops, I didn't realize anyone was in here. Sorry about that." Instead, he proceeded to have a private, loud, annoying conversation with his wife and kid and even when he was prompted with, "Excuse me," the guy moved 6 inches. Six inches, people, and not a bit more. This is why he's a douche.
No one said that success makes you a douche, being a fucking douche makes you a douche, you idiot. on Douchey Dads
Word.
Douchery is not a class issue. Jen was just pointing out this particular flavor of douchery in this post. She was not saying that rich fathers are automatically DDs. Good people can belong to country clubs and have money. She was just pointing out just how self-entitled and phony this class of douche is. For me, where he really became the douche was when he was worrying about what his MOMMY thought about the gap in his child's front teeth because it may "ruin" the family photo? If he were a real man and his mother complained about that, he would tell her to piss off. Somehow, I think he is more worried about his inheritance. on Douchey Dads
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't consider what I write bullying. I'm not a bully. I am sick and tired of people who share this planet with me who don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves. We all live here together and every time I turn around I find that people are becoming ruder and ruder and I'm sick of it and I'm not going to let people get away with it. This post was not about his parenting. I could give a fuck what he calls his kid and how great the tooth fairy event is in his home, what I care about is how inconsiderate he was of the people surrounding him. How self-absorbed he was when he was on the phone and how oblivious he was to those around him.

Why are there so many people saying "Give the Dad the benefit of the doubt". This is pathetic. Why is it that when a father does something he SHOULD do, he is appaulded? WTF? Seriously? I know that there are a LOT of so called men out there that don't do the right thing, but this is ludicrous. Why do we allow ourselves to let it slide when "men" don't step up. The reason this Dad is a Douche is because he wasn't sincere. His wife probably gave him the heads up before he answered the phone what Champ was going to call about. Your Damn right he SHOULD have taken the call. What he also should have done is taken the call outside or to a really privite room where people were not clearly working to get an event set up. on Douchey Dads
Precisely. Yeah, he talked to his kid, but seriously why should he get props for that? Why do dads always get bonus points for parenting and mothers only lose points? No one ever congratulates a mother for taking her kid's call. He's the kid's dad, of course he should talk to him. He was not in the middle of a business meeting (believe me, I could hear that whole conversation too and it was not business related in the least) when the kid called. He stepped out so as not to disturb his buddies and never once thought about the little ladies that were working in the next room.

I deal with a lot of DDs. How do they play golf on Tuesdays? They're salesmen those motherfuckers get paid oodles of cash for taking clients out to "dinner" which ususally involves at least one girl named Montage and one named Cherry. They are usually married to Princess Moms who drive expensive GIGANTIC SUVs while texting their “girls” with one hand and sipping their Venti Decaf Soy five-pump Raspberry No-whip extra Horseshit mocha from Starbucks. The get “push presents” and are probably getting it on with the next door neighbor’s wife or the hot looking Mexican guy that mows the lawn. They annoy the shit out of me by using the word gift as a verb and saying ah-MAY-zing while they discuss how smart their brain damaged progeny are, or how much it costs each year for said offspring to attend private school, at which both will have their first gay experience. They haven’t worked a real job since they first got out of college, know all the best plastic surgeons and drone on endlessly about shoes, bolt-on breasts and cupcakes/macaroons/whatever food fad is going at that day. They don’t how to cook, think the Poors are that way because it’s their own fault and probably go to a church where Jesus is more like Eddie Vedder, including the rock and roll, than a role model on Douchey Dads
And that comment, folks, is from my uncle. I was raised to rant. Check him out. It's a narcissistic week at PIWTPITT.
I call my son, bud all the time. I know his name. I like his name. Really, a post about this? And if you want to be snarky, maybe his son is named Gomer and prefers to be called Champ ;-O. Glass houses. on Douchey Dads

I'll just let this be my response, you dumbass:
Come on, how can you even compare the two. Gomer is a sophisticated and adult name, while champ is the name of a dog. Also, Adolpha is probably a family name, Jen's great-great grandmother who arrived on a rowboat from the Titanic was probably named Adolpha. I'm sure you could have gathered as much if you read more than the titles of a couple posts. And granted, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, but they also have a great view of the douchiness around them. on Douchey Dads
I just have a quick question, and I am sure I will be flamed, but I honestly do want to know. When "Gomer" is 12-13 and bullies, what will you say? When he tells you he is just being funny at someone's expense, will that make it ok? What if he is not calling anyone out by name, but just making fun of a group, maybe the kids in band. Is that okay? I read your blog for the first time with the elf like probably everyone here. I thought it was funny even though I do think of funny things to do with ours. I have stopped by a few times since then, and many of the posts are just mean. It isn't the wit and laugh at yourself type stuff. It is attacking someone's parenting in this instance. I think you can call it what you want, but there is a big problem with bullying in schools and if the parents are teaching it and condoning it, it will only make it worse. You can blow this off, which I am sure people will, but there are real kids who are breaking because they are made fun of on Douchey Dad Revisited

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't consider what I write bullying. I'm not a bully.

How self-absorbed he was when he was on the phone and how oblivious he was to those around him.
My other "mean" rants or "bullying" posts are about the unnecessary pressures that society and the media and each other put on us to be "perfect" parents or "perfect" wives and I'm fed up with all that shit too. I'm fed up with hearing about how I'm not a worthwhile person, because I didn't make my Elf ice skate on a frozen toilet or make Bento box lunches for my children from the free-range organically fed chickens that we raised in our backyard or wear the coolest brand of skinny jeans or whatever the fuck is popular right now. I don't write these posts to be mean, I write these with the hopes that maybe someone who behaves like this will get a reality check, but more importantly, I write these posts for the people who are made to feel worthless, because they can't keep up with all of this shit. I let them know that it's OK to laugh and say, Who cares?
On the flip side, I've been called "ugly" and told "God don't love you" and I've been told that my son will grow up to be a rapist, because of the way I'm raising him. Is that bullying? Or am I just getting what's coming to me, because I put my opinion out there and someone didn't care for it? I don't cry "bully." I'm a judgmental person and I know I'm judgmental. We're all judgmental, I just happen to be someone who readily admits it and knows that when I judge I'll be judged back.
In answer to your question, I will not condone my children bullying anyone. I expect they will have senses of humor and my guess is they'll both be a bit sarcastic. Every kid teases another kid or a group of kids and I am positive that at some point, my children will too. A bully doesn't tease or poke fun at someone. Are we not allowed to even poke fun at anyone anymore? This is not bullying. A bully systematically assaults someone either physically or emotionally. A bully harms and intimates a weaker person. My kids won't do that.
I do hope that Gomer and Adolpha are both bullshit callers. I plan to raise them to be independent thinkers as much as I can. I want them to realize how much better it is to be themselves and to be their own person, rather than worrying about what everyone else is wearing, driving or doing. My greatest fear is that they become sheeple and go along with the herd - bullies are sheeple. If anything, they will most likely be the ones who will be bullied, because if I am successful in raising them the way I want, they will not be popular and they will be outspoken and opinionated and probably a target themselves.
Anon 11:01 AM - Seriously hit the nail on the head so I'm reposting it for all the people that can't seem to grasp the objective of this blog: Anonymous Apr 27, 2012 11:01 AM "Jen is not "bullying" this guy, or "poking fun of him", just calling it like she see's it. Pretty positive she was just calling a spade a spade. If she had cut on his nerdiness looks, or fat, then that may be bullying, but she wasn't. I believe Gomer will grow up knowing the difference between bullying & being shocked enough by someone else's behavior that he can laugh about it like his mother. Have you never talked about the rudeness of strangers? Bitched about the guy who cut you off while driving? laughed at the purely asinine things some people do? Pretty sure we all have, and that's why we enjoy Jen's rants so much, she puts it out there, and we can laugh together." THIS EXACTLY. on Douchey Dad Revisited
The comments are almost as funny as the blog! on Douchey Dad Revisited
Every week!
Seriously, Douchey Dads and OAM's just roll with it, Jen just calls it like it is, that is why we all love her. I, myself, am a crunchy granola type mom. Jen recently punched me and guess what, I laughed! She hit it right on, I annoy myself sometimes with my recycling and "being green". If you can't laugh at yourself then maybe should punch yourself in the throat. on Douchey Dad Revisited
The Hubs, if you ever get tired of Jen and her online tirades......will you marry me? (of course we'll have to find a way to get rid of my Hubs but why let a little homicide get in the way of love?!) :-) on Douchey Dad Revisited
FIRST the title of your blog peaked my interest...I havent even made it past todays post to learn more about you or your family and I am in LOVE! Actually, I may just be in love with your husband! (kidding!...sort of) today's post is SOOOOO funny! I am a new follower!! Now excuse me while I go read all your previous posts. on Douchey Dad Revisited
Easy killers. The Hubs is receiving a few too many indecent proposals for my liking. It's time to make him unattractive. Have I told you about his ability to fart and burp on command? Have I mentioned his wonky chest hair? Yes, I said "hair." He only has one. Back off ladies, this funny Romeo is all mine.
OK Jen, don't feel bad, but I think I enjoyed this even more than the other Douchey post. *ducks flying wine glass!* Sorry I hope he doesn't get a big head...I know my husband would. (thank God you've been playing along w/ the drinking game or that glass might have actually hit it's mark! Feeling a little sloshed myself) on Douchey Dad Revisited
Wow, using "douche" in a post 31 times is absolutely douchetacular.I couldn't make it into a drinking game, however, because I'd be plastered before the first paragraph ended. Sir, I salute you and your douchetastic vocabulary.LOL on Douchey Dad Revisited
if you don't like the opinions and point of views expressed in PIWTPITT or any blog for that matter, DONT READ IT! For some of us, reading these rants make us physically laugh out loud, and for that I am truly grateful. Punch On! on Douchey Dad Revisited
I cannot believe you are taking time to write a blog post during the day instead of being with your kids! At least those guys were networking with real people, you are talking to cyberspace and trying to feed your wife's ego. Btw...I'm a mom. Not a country club mom, just a mom....who thinks you are both douches. on Douchey Dad Revisited
Bully! Right? She called me a name. I'm being bullied, aren't I? OK, maybe not. So, my question is when should he write it? During dinner with the kids? The kids were at school when he wrote this. You Madame are a Douchette!

Do you or your husband not work during the day? You must be trust fund kids who just spend all day making special memories for your kids and homeschooling them so you can never be apart. That's sweet. The Hubs and I don't have that luxury. We work during the day while our kids are at school and even (gasp) when they are home since we don't send them to daycare after school (double gasp). FYI, don't worry, I'm writing this at 8 o'clock at night after my kids are safely tucked into bed.
I love that you think it's OK to be away from your kids to "network with real people", but writing a blog and feeding my ego is not worth being away from my kids. Thank you for setting us straight. Next time the Hubs is ready to guest blog, I'll be sure to send him to the bar with his buddies so they can yuk it up and network while he writes and leaves me home with the kids.
You totally described my clients, as a travel agent, we deal w/ a group of investment bankers. That is exactly what they do, their wives are all jr league types, their kids go to private school, and are named after cheese (Colby and Brie), or furniture, yes I have a client named after a piece of furniture. They go to the Caribbean for spring break, own homes on exclusive islands along the east coast, and wouldn't dream of putting a foot in Disney World. Still, they pay us the bucks to do it, and are very nice to us, but they have their moments. Not all of them are like this, but quite a few are.

I want to say a really, really BIG THANK YOU to you Jen, for giving those of us who have felt so overwhelmed to the point of absurdity...and honestly to the point of inferiority & even sadness & guilt in a world the seemed to be marketed & dominated by the OAM's. I am not a domestic goddess, I can barely boil water, my yard lacks even an inch of "curb appeal", the list could go on forever. But I am creative, yet for a long time I described myself as someone who "used to be" creative. Why? Instead of finding joy in the things I COULD do, I was overwhelmed by what I couldn't do...The easiest way I can explain this is thru an example- like many people I could make homemade cards/invitations for my kids parties...BUT I would get so caught up in what was lacking (painstakingly detailed cutout 3-D pieces, hand written quirky little poems about my kids, you name it..) that I would end up going to the store at the very last minute buying whatever I could grab before the store closed & sending on Step One of My World Domination Plan
What makes you different? How many people have said, "you're my long lost twin" or "I think we share a brain" since you have started this blog? You're real. You identify with the everyday mom out there and that sets you apart from so many. You say what most of us are thinking in our heads. I read a couple different blogs but yours is the only one I read religiously and laugh out loud at most days. And you're the first person I think I could seriously stalk....in a good way though. Good thing you kept your trip to NH under wraps till you were on your way out! LOL on Step One of My World Domination Plan
