Forgive me, but I don’t think cloth nappies, breastfeeding, making baby food and holding a crying baby makes someone an “alternative” mother. It has actually been done that way for many, many years.

There is nothing more outside the main stream than attempting to raise a child to view the world and herself as a noble being, and nothing will interfer with that effort more than contemporary media, and almost no one comprehends this. Even in the Waldorf school system where media is advised against there is the misunderstanding that if it’s not violent it’s ok, You know the type of non-violent storyline I mean: there’s a sarcastic pre-teens, a ‘bitchy’ girl (always portrayed by a blonde), tits and ass for the 12 year crowd, . Ya know what? I can’t even finish my thought. I’m so sad that what most pp consider GREAT i consider garbage that I just gotta go to sleep and hope my dreams are sweet.

It’s funny because you say your parenting style is different and against the grain. You just need to move to Santa Barbara, CA. Everyone parents like you do! We call it ‘attachment parenting’ over here. I found your blog because I was looking up “alternative parenting” to THAT type of parenting! lol Guess it all depends on where you live. Maybe I should move to where you live and then I would parent like everyone else…

I loved your article. I definitely feel “different.” I use such an eclectic approach to life that I don’t fit very well into any group of people. I can say though that I’m more alternative than conventional. I actually THRIVE on being different and letting others know that I feel differently. It’s not to put them down but more just because I enjoy diversity. It can be a lonely place to be in though at times.
