Over the Top Platinum Babies Are Hitting WEtv

Think Sweet Sixteen for fetuses.

Think Sweet Sixteen for fetuses. Mothers who are used to having everything their hearts desire now want to pass that diva quality onto their babes-to-be. WEtv's new show, Platinum Babies, focuses on expectant ladies who have hired Hot Moms Club co-founder Jessica Denay and other planning experts to deck out their nurseries and throw the poshest baby showers any mum has ever seen. At a time where many moms are pinching pennies, others are basking in Louis Vuitton diaper bags, Gucci crib shoes, infant diamond studded earrings and $40K customized rooms. It's a shock to the system for budget restricted mums like myself but it gave me some pretty good ideas for DIY projects at my own home. It might just become my Friday night guilty pleasure. Check out the clip and let me know if you'll be tuning in, too.

What Is Your Worst Mom Fail?

If mama gets one thing crossed off her to-do list in a single day, she's done a good job.

If mama gets one thing crossed off her to-do list in a single day, she's done a good job. Most mothers will admit it's near impossible to keep up with school schedules, the grocery list, car maintenance, birthday parties and everything else relegated to dear old mom. On last night's "The Trip" episode of The Middle, daughter Sue Heck sells enough cheese and sausage for her school's fundraiser to earn her a trip to Indianapolis. Her teacher claims Sue didn't sell anything and is therefore banned from the trip. Like any mother would do, mama Heck gives the teacher, well, heck, and shames him into letting her daughter on board. But as you will find out in the video, it's not the teacher that fails, but the overrun mommy. Typically, the teenage lass will certainly not forget the gargantuan error her mother makes.

What's the worst "mom fail" you've committed?

Are You the Family Cheerleader?

Moms have a knack for making their children feel like the most wonderful, beautiful, talented beings that ever walked the earth.

Moms have a knack for making their children feel like the most wonderful, beautiful, talented beings that ever walked the earth. It seems quite natural for a mother to be her kids' biggest fan — always cheering them on from the sidelines and encouraging them to keep pressing ahead when it seems all the chips are stacked against them. Last night's episode of The Middle had Mama Heck championing her daughter as she discussed her dreams of joining the swim team. After seeing her swim, it was evident that the sport was not her strong suit but nevertheless, the matriarch of the house continued to pat her on the back and sing her praises.

Which Television Mom Do You Relate to Most?

If spandex, high heels, and major hairspray are part of a mother's daily wardrobe, she may relate best to Peg Bundy from Married With Children.

If spandex, high heels, and major hairspray are part of a mother's daily wardrobe, she may relate best to Peg Bundy from Married With Children. Women who like to wear the same outfit day after day may liken themselves to Marge Simpson while apron wearing, apple pie baking subservient mamas might align themselves with Kitty Foreman from That '70s Show though she is known to voice her opinion on occasion. One of the more realistic portrayals of family life comes with Everybody Loves Raymond as Debra and Ray Barone are often caught canoodling and arguing in the same episode. Her bouts with the in-laws make for hilarious and relate-able fodder, too. Choose from the list below and tell us which boob tube mom you relate to most and tell us why in comments.
