My boys have started arguing with is about putting in their underpants and/or their night time diapers. So I've started lying to them and telling them our cat is going to bite their penises off unless they shield them with underpants or diapers. Be honest: Am I a bad mom?

Oh goodness me, that is quite the lie. But it honestly made me giggle. At 3 years old, I don't really know, I definitely don't think it's in 'bad mom' territory as that is reserved IMHO for moms that literally do horrible things. We have an honest policy with natural consequences around here, that we are still working on. So you could tell them that if they don't put on the underpants/diapers and they end up wetting the bed, then it will be their responsibility to either sleep in it (trust me, sounds bad, but just bathe the next day and ask them how that went) or provide them with clean blankets within reach and tell them it's their problem to change them. Instruct that you are not to be woken/bothered in the middle of the night and attach a punishment to it if they do. Chances are they will just put the stupid pants on, but I haven't dealt with 3 year old boys before. Make the punishment something they really don't want like not being able to do a certain thing the next day or put a favorite toy away. I could probably talk about defiant and/or lying kids long enough to write a book and I feel like I'm still very far from having the right answer. Let me know if you want to discuss further, lol.

I have been trying to convince our daughter that I was a Backstreet Boy. She gets more and more skeptical and just doesn't believe me and then when they actual came back, (cuz you know, as long as there'll be music....we'll be back again)....I had to tell her that I had to quit the band because I didn't look as good as they did anymore. When that didn't work, I told her I graduated from the Backstreet Boys and moved on to Boyz to Men

Your mistake was to spell it incorrectly. It's Boyz II Men. A true member would have known that. =p

I would say it's kind of appalling but...
I got a new cat... and I live by myself... let's just say that I wear shorts more now. So... you ain't really the liar...
