are you crunchy, crispy, or soggy?

i say i'm crispy, because i'm not crunchy enough to truly be part of the AP groups, and i'm way too crunchy to fit in with the mainstream groups.

I said crispy. I guess b/c I don't think I'm as crunchy as some, but definitely more than most! I'm so glad for this board, it's a great place for me to come for advice and support!

I don't even know which one I am

I think I'm a purist; just focusing on the concept of being attached to my child and following his cues. What does that make me?

This link pretty much covers the way I parent:

i love that link, eee_mom!

i used to be a lot crunchier, before i became disabled. i mean, breakfast for me used to a bowl of steamed brown rice with a little organic milk and brown sugar. now, breakfast is a can of Slimfast *hides* convenience definitely plays a role in being crunchy. and finances ... health food is sometimes so much more expensive, as are natural cleaning products. i joke, "why does it cost so much more if they take all the unnecessary stuff OUT?!" it's also much easier to grab a paper towel than to do a load of towels in the laundry. *hides again!*

but mommy-wise, i'm as crunchy as can be. i've always been into AP and co-sleeping and gentle discipline, before i knew they had names

I'm probably more crispy than the rest of you guys. I believe in a lot of ap but some of it just wouldnt work in my life like co-sleeping, organic food, cloth diapering, etc. I mean I LOVE organic food, I just cant afford it.

I'm crispy/borderline crunchy.

We definitely like our convenience stuff which is what keeps me from being total crunch lol

I co-sleep, breastfeed, cloth diaper during the days, Babywear, I homeschooled Joey for 1+ years, and discipline is pretty weak around here although it must be working cause he's very well behaved

At the same time we do vaccinate, I dont buy organic foods they're just too pricey, we recycle most stuff but not all and dont use organic cleaners.
