People are talking about us, well, mostly typing. But this time, we don’t mean they are talking trash on us behind our backs. (In the interest of full-disclosure, they’ve been doing that for a while and we never bothered to make a page on our site dedicated to it).

So, without further ado, here is the word you’ll find on the street, around the water cooler, or, most likely, somewhere on the internet:

1. Blog features hilarious ‘bad parenting advice’

From: Gina Chen / The Post-Standard | Syracuse.com

FKW: This was the first site to “write us up.” We greatly prefer this method over getting written up by cops or hall monitors.

2. Really Bad Parenting Advice at zoice.com

From: zoice.com

FKW: At first we were thrilled to be featured on this site. Then we read their tagline (“Useless Crap for Tired Brains”) and we were even more thrilled. Zoice.com doesn’t get too verbose on this one, but hey, a guy named “Doug” commented on it!

3. Sometimes, I like to whore out other people…

From: Sarcastica | Sarcastica.org

FKW: This is the story of an incredible cool person who was clearly under the influence of something when she decided to dedicate a post to “whoring” us out. Then she threw in that line about our RSS not working, just to keep our ego in check. We love that about her. I think we fixed the RSS. Who knows?

4. Rad Website of the Day: Really Bad Parenting Advice!

From: Gail Worley | The Worley Gig

FKW: We’ve never been called “Rad” before, so we were especially tickled when this came across our desk (Ok, we don’t have a desk, or anyone who brings us stuff. In fact, we’re impressed this typewriter is even connected to the Internet). Plus, we’d never been featured on a rock critic’s site before, let alone one with a pink background. Who said you don’t have any fun on the first time? (Oh yeah, no one).

5. Bad Parenting Advice << That’s Elbert With an E

From: that’s elbert | thatselbert.wordpress.com

FKW: We’re guessing that Elbert is a thought leader in his community (why else would he write about us?) We felt really bad because Elbert noticed we stopped following him on Twitter. But we’ve learned from our mistakes, and we’re following him again. (Elbert, I hope you didn’t blow too much on therapy on this one).

6. Really Bad Parenting Advice – Really Funny!

From: badbadivy | Love Shak, Baby

FKW: “Love Shack” is one of the catchiest songs by the B-52’s, so we were thrilled that they featured us here…(Editor’s note: Not that love shack, idiot) But seriously, we were excited until we read the first line: “I was directed earlier today to a website called Really Bad Parenting Advice.” That doesn’t sound a whole lot like free will.

7. Weekly Digest + Feeding Hack (Save Burnt-on-the-Bottom Baked Goods)

From: chowmama.com

FKW: Ok, so this one might be a stretch, and you might lose your vision straining to see where we’re mentioned – in fact, let’s make it a game! See, you thought you were just listening to us bragging, and now we’ve given you a fun activity! We’re so damn helpful.

8. Playdate – Toy Links from Around the Web

From: Laura McMullan | toywhimsy.com

FKW: If the above “media mention” is a stretch, then allow me to introduce you to Stretch Armstrong (get it??) Yeah, this post isn’t entirely about us (like the world, in general), but Laura gives us some love at the end. And we’ll take it.
