What do you think about crunchy moms?

[Alwayreckles93]

I am not a crunchy mom but I do always make sure my kids eat healthy and make everything from starch organic made at home. Both of my kids used cloth diapers. I didn't used formula all breastfeed. But I wouldn't say I go way to the extreme as exaggerating to n everything. Do believe it's important for a child to eat organic meals as much as possible? Should a child not have that much screen time? What do you think?

I had to look it up and…

call it what you want it, as all else should and can, but I’d say the more accurate term would be a “natural mom,” instead of one who loads up her kids on all the fake, empty things, society offers.

Nutritionless food, irritating or complexing chemicals/ washes/ etc; just about anything that won’t promote/ excel a person’s overall health.

Meanwhile, the “crunchy mom” is just an individual who gets the most out of her life’s resources, that will only improve her:

stamina/productivity/function and overall health. If she’s doing that for her kids, there can be no harm in it. I’m not saying refuse any access to hospital facilities or utilities that make life convenient, but when it comes to what a person puts on or in their body, it should cause them to thrive- not just get by or regress.

I’m not a crunchy person lol, but I admire their honest efforts and determination. I thought of forgoing natural labor, even if I wanted to kill myself during or after, for having chose it, but I’d want to do that and make sure it was in my control, other than anyone else’s. If wild animal mothers can do it why can’t I?

That was just by thought on it, but no one is “bad,” for what they choose or even have access to.🤷‍♀️

What do I think of crunchy moms? They’re not bad people.

Some like their jif and skippy as crunchy than smooth 😂👌

I'm fine with them for the most part but some are extreme like there's one on tiktok that doesn't allow her kids to wear shoes cuz they are "foot prisons". I've also heard of other ones that refuse to take their sick kids to the hospital.

Like I myself prefer doing things the more nature way but never would label myself a crunchy mom cuz I don't really want to be associated with those type of people.

Everything you described is extra mile stuff that if a woman makes me think for a second that she wouldn't do that for her kids, it instantly makes her not wife material.

I find women who think like this extremely attractive and I would even go the extra step to ensure we are practicing healthy diets during and before the pregnancy.

With all the diseases and disorders being linked back to food quality, it's more important than ever to be extremely cautious with this stuff.

To each their own along as it's a mutually agreed upon lifestyle and it does not endanger the kids - go for it.

P. S. I do draw the line in regards to certain vaccines (excluding COVID) - NOT trying to start a dumpster fire just wanting to mention it.

[Alwayreckles93]

It's all good 👍

[Gent207-2]

Thank you for helping me make the night a little bit better 👏

We try to encourage healthy eating and more natural products for our son, but at the end of the day Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is better than not eating at all if he won't touch his meal and a little candy isn't going to hurt him. We know a mom that would let her kid starve before feeding her processed food... That's insanity.

What’s a crunchy mom? I don’t think organic or not is important. Limiting screen time is good.

[Alwayreckles93]

Crunchy moms are the kind of people that wouldn't buy spaghetti sauce from the grocery store, They don't think use plastic and are against using product with chemicals. They don't drink water from a water bottle because of plastic. I don't go to that extreme I only do the health ideas but other then that I'm more relax.

[Exterminatore]

That’s crazy!

Is this what a "crunchy mom" is: "A “crunchy mom” is a woman on a quest for more information. A mom who is environmentally, health, and socially conscious. She cares enough about her family to question the status quo"?

If that's the definition, I love them. What's wrong with any of that?

[Alwayreckles93]

I never said there was something wrong !

[loveslongnails]

I never said you did, it's my answer to the question "What do I THINK about them". I think there's nothing wrong with them, which is what I mean by "what's wrong with that" :)

[TrueConfection]

I think you have a nice balance. I think limiting the consumption of pharmaceuticals and pesticides is perhaps the most important.

[Rosexøxø]

Agreed!

[OlderAndWiser]

I don't understand this concept of a "crunchy" mom.

[Alwayreckles93]

Well it's the kind of mom's that don't used plastic , No fragrance items or candles only candle been wax. They try to make everything from home and recycle.

[misogynistic_pig]

I am a spoiled child, I like protective mothers.

[MannMitAntworten]

Never heard the turn, “crunchy mom” till now. Anyway, read what you wrote … see zero wrong with your approach to child rearing. Keep at it.

[FunkyMonkee]

I never eat that kind. I only like the creamy style.

[AngryCarl]

I think it's okay to give your kids wholesome meals.

[Anonymous]

As long as she doesn't expect ME to eat that way it' fine.

[Manuel2]

That is the job of the mother
