I know a mom like that, but I think it will backfire because she never lets her kid eat anything outside. And the kid really really wants it sometimes...
Yep. My sister in law is like that. They have a girl who is about 1 year younger than mine....and those two are BFFs.
I set my crunch rating with her as the standard. Shes a 10 crumchy and I land 6.
I allow dairy and occasional junk....but my junk food is like....pop corn and organice cheese puffs lol. Her idea of junk food is homemade fruit strips and organic nuts.
My daughter got a smash cake on her first birthday. And I refuse to buy birthday cakes...I bake birthday cakes from scratch. I have no problem with bought cakes....i just feel like it's more meaningful to bake them myself. So I made her smash cake. So that's my 6.
My sister in law? She substituted her daughters smash cake with a cake shaped cut water melon. It was cute and yeah....healthier then cake but the baby had a rough time "smashing" it lol. That is a 10 crunchy.
I gave birth in a hospital like a sane person that wants to stay alive. But I didnt use an epidural or any pain meds. That's a 5 on the crunch scale. She gave birth (the very first time) in her living room. She had some hippie midwife and doula, essential oils and relaxing music. She only cried for a doctor once. Definate 10. But im the one who breastfed for 3 years... that's a strong 10. Shes completely offline, 10. Me? I have books and love books but 99 percent of my reading is digital. That's a 4.
There is a lot more but you get the idea.
These moms who wont let their kids eat anything from anywhere except their house (and I know some) are genuinely terrified of the "toxins" in the food. Hormones. There are valid concerns but that response is fear driven extremism. I'm not anywhere near that picky.
My daughters WILL go for water over juice or soda....and I'm proud of that lol. And my children are fully vaccinated.
When these crunchy kids rebel? Its gonna be getting vaccines and milkshakes on the down low. I mostly join the mom groups to troll them.
I found a board connected to "wellness" and "natural living" that was all for people who DRINK PEE. And it was called "UrineNation"
and these people were bragging about their "aged urine". So they were pissing in ferment bottles, letting it sit for two years, tossing some mint sprigs in it and making a public demonstration of drinking it....brushing their teeth in it....and splashing it on their faces. And I'm convinced a few of those people were doing it as a fetish.
I got kicked out of that one because I made a meme out of someones post. I couldnt help it. He somehow made piss dust out of his piss and asked the group if it was "medicine". I didnt even know you could make piss dust....but this guy made piss dust. So I used that anime meme with the guy holding his hand towards the butterfly(I labeled piss dust) and asking "is this *medicine*?". They banned me.....it was worth it though lol.
