I would say I`m semi crunchy which would include, breastfeeding, gentle dicipline, baby wearing, cloth diapering, making my own laundry detergent, buying gentle unscented homemade soap from my MIL and stuff like that...but I refuse to cosleep or extend breastfeeding past 1 year old. I vaccinate my children when it is reccomended to do so. I use regular diapers as well as cloth. And I would never have a home birth and so on...so I guess I am a semi crunchy mama lol

I am crunchy in a lot of aspects and am trying to be more so. Some of it I`m doing in baby steps, like switching to unscented soap, buying eggs from hubby`s coworker who has cage-free hens, trying to use vinegar to clean with instead of chemicals. I'm also only cloth diapering part of the time as I build up my stash of cloth diapers- hoping to eventually be doing cloth only.

I am assuming crunchy is the same as granola, right? If this is the case I need crunchy lessons. I would like to be more natural but I tend to try everything at once then get overwhelmed and go right back to non-crunchy ways.

Make our own laundry soap, selective/delay vaxx, babywear, Exclusively/Extend breastfeeding, anti RIC, Pro homebirth (and any other birth the mother would like!), Gentle Discipline, blw and so on. lol

I think I would be considered semi-crunchy.

  1. Is it normal for toddlers to leave off 1/2 of words?
  2. Silly poll, just checking the odds.. for parents of 3+kids, did you have:
  3. Career conundrum... Opinions valued (particularly from teachers - but I would value advice from anyone). Details inside.
  4. At what age do you think it`s appropriate to drop your child off at a sporting training (not a school sport, a sports club such as soccer, footy, tennis, netball club etc), and come at the end to pick them up?
  5. If you saw a car up your next-door neighbour`s drive (evening), would you make a social visit (and didn`t know them very well)?


  6. So this is what the Tooth Fairy would be like if the roles were reversed haha!
  7. Bookworms - is anyone reading the new Khaled Hosseini book `And the Mountains Echoed`? I pre-ordered it on kindle which should have arrived today (I haven`t checked yet) but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group read?
  8. HELP - my 3 year old daughter is developing a phobia to fluff! I feel responsible, I have a ridiculous phobia of bees and wasps - to the point it hinders my ability to enjoy playing out in the garden during the summer, it`s detrimental. My kids have picked up on this and are sh*t scared of bees and wasps, but with my daughter it was soon spiders, then ants and now, tiny black bits of fluff - which she finds all over; on her pillow etc. It`s genuine terror in her face as she screams she can see them moving and they`re `going to get her` or `bite her`. What do I do? She`s old enough to be reasoned with that they don`t move and we pick most of them off before bedtime, but she wakes in the night and starts crying that `The Fluff`s coming...!!` How can I help her? Do you think this is just a phase or do you think it`s worth seeking some sort of external, professional help to nip this in the bud? I HATE the thought of passing on my phobias and anxieties to my children - it`s no way to live to be a constant worrier about things beyond your control and I;ve suffered with anxiety and panick attacks for nearing 6 years now and can`t ever remember just feeling `normal` and `well` - I can`t remember my life before my first panick attack. This is NOT what I want for my children...
  9. On Facebook I saw one of those like pictures, a mom who sent her child to school for days wearing out of style `ugly` clothes because she was bullying another girl about her clothes. Mom`s yourselves, what do you think of this type of punishment?
  10. Can anyone relate? My 4 year old is making all sorts of amazing connections which is great that he`s thinking about the world, but some of his thoughts are quite deep. He`s a natural born worrier (gets that from me!) and I try to protect him from as much as I can but there`s things that can`t be avoided. Ie, ever since Easter, he`s been plagued with fear about getting holes in him like Jesus (he learnt it at Kindy). Well just this evening he came out with `Why do you and Margo (Grandma) have holes in your ears like Jesus? Did you get your ears nailed to a cross?` He`s also obsessed with the fear of death.
