The site struck a deep chord and funny bone among parents of all races, cultures, and socio-economic backgrounds. SMKR grew exponentially with over 30MM page-views to date and was chosen as one of Time.com’s Best Blogs of the year. Our popular pet companion site, Sh*t My Pets Ruined was launched simultaneously.

OnlyKidding.com: A new, all-encompassing parent entertainment site is set to launch on March 4th, the 2-year anniversary of SMKR.  This platform will incorporate SMKR and SMPR, while offering more diverse content, fresh voices and more diverse ways  for our community and sponsors to interact and participate.

A family of sites celebrating your family’s ruined sh*t.

Kids: they are the light of your life—and the enemy of all things fragile, intact, and clean. But why cry over spilt milk . . . or paint . . . or the entire contents of a full-size swimming pool? A testament to the messiness of childhood (and parenting), and a memorial to the household items that perished along the way, here are never-before-seen photos and outrageous stories of VCRs jammed with toys, toilets clogged with clothes, and furniture accented with permanent marker. Torn-up computer keyboards and torn-out hair, botched family photos and mustard-covered treadmills—nothing is off limits to your darling, destructive offspring. So raise a broken glass and embrace the madness, because laughter is the only surefire way to keep your sh*t together.”

SMKR caught the attention of book publishers, literary and television agents, radio and television producers, web and app developers, advertising agencies and brand managers, and countless other media outlets around the world.

“The site has become an outlet for witticisms of many a parent who, 10 years ago, would surely have felt like the tree falling in the forest with no one to hear.  The unvarnished reality portrayed through the pictures on the site feels, as a result, liberating.”  – The New York Times

“Look closer at many of the woe-is-me captions and there’s a lighter side – a cheery recognition that boys will be boys and girls will be girls.  Beyond all the stuff that was destroyed, what is a parent to do but shrug, laugh it off and share the pics with fellow parents who can nod along in bemused sympathy.” – Time
