Crunchy Parents General

[Daughter of Cernunnos]

Earlier this year I got a an infection on my finger because I cut it while clipping my nails. It blew up and was very painful. My aunt told me to use black salve.

She's not crunchy at all. But she said her mom used it on her as a kid. She didn't believe me when I told her what it could do to you.

How common is this stuff amongst the crunchers? It's horrifying and you know they are using it in kids.

She probably meant Ichthammol Ointment which is also called black salve but not the caustic shit crunchy retards try to treat skin cancer with.

Why are they called 'crunchy' though? Where does that come from?

That's very bizarre terminology.

Granola is crunchy.

 

[soft kitty]

Granola is crunchy.

Ohh I get it.

 

[supremeautismo]

Granola is crunchy.

Also, they don't bathe and their, er, bits are crunchy. Can't be a good Mom without some homeopathic armpit hair!

Another fucked up thing crunchy parents do is take their very young babies to chiropractors. Can’t believe chiropractors can advertise that shit without getting shut down.

From what I heard, chiropractors are known to sue anyone who disagrees with them. That's why there isn't much research that disproves this practice.

babies have had strokes from being taken to a chiropractor

I used to be on a crunchy mom group on facebook, the mothers were fucking insane and constantly attacked anyone who could have gotten a c-sec or used formula.
These moms would say ALL the time that your body knows how to produce the best milk no matter what you eat, and that your kid will be retarded if you feed them formula.
I though they were weirdos, but my sister was one of them so I continued in the group, after all, sister has a masters and is the smart one of the family, right?
Better stop giving the kid formula and feed her only with breast milk.

Well, turns out I have anemia and my breastmilk is salted water. My kid lost weight the two months is breastfed her exclusively.
After that I unfollowed the group and started ignoring sister's stupid ideas.

Last time I heard about her, she was refusing to teach her second how to use spoons and teached her hand signals, so the kid was almost 1 and refused to speak.

Mom group mentality, not even once.

 

[Crunchy Leaf]

@Azafran90 what’s the deal with spoons?

Let’s talk about co sleeping. I keep seeing this as an issue on r/stepparents with 7 and 8 year olds. I don’t get it. When I was a kid I was allowed to fall asleep on my parents’ bed, but then I would be carried to mine. I don’t understand why parents would allow this for an older child.

 

[Mambamia]

Crunchy Parents against circumcision going as far as liking it to autism?
I didn't know crunchy parents went on Kiwi Farms and 4chan!

I have no idea what her deal was with eating utensils, something about eating naturally. She also hated baby food and would give her kid things whole, like an entire cookie or so.

She also did co-sleeping obsesivelly, but it began with her failure to teach her first how to sleep in his own room.
She said the japanesse sleep with their kids for years as a reason, and she likes to ignore that japanesse kids are teached from the start to be self-sufficient and that people doesn't show affection publicly there, so I guess she was just cherry picking aspects of another culture.

So, based on my experience, I'm pretty sure most of these mom's obsessions come from insecurities and just plain incompetence.

I think your sister is a weeaboo.

She actually thought of the japanesse as borderline satanic freaks before she was able to use them as an excuse...while making fun of me for watching anime.

Those moms are eerily similar to my crunchy cousin. His wife divorced him over his refusal to vaccinate their childten. He also doesn't allow them to eat sugar and refuses to teach them English (they live in the United States). The worst part is, he is a doctor.

 

[Mambamia]

I've always had a gripe with those Karens and their anti-vax mantra.
They claim that vaccination gives their kids autism, which I'm pretty ignorant of anything that would support these claims aside of word of mouth and statements of factual evidence supported by research that disprove the idea of vaccines giving autism. These parents are willing to risk their children's safety over the possibility of becoming autistic. They're honestly implying that death is better than autism. I know that Autism is very taboo to you Kiwifarms user (and let's face it grossly hypocritical) but I'm sure if I had a choice between my kid either dying from disease or getting autism, I would obviously choose to keep them alive and worry about them going on Le reddit, being SJW atheists and mimicking anime characters down the line. I'm not even sure how someone get's autism, as if it was a contagious disease when it's a sociological disorder that you're pre exposed to like any other mental defect that is resulted from birth.

You would think that'd be universally accepted, but there's more than a handful who believe otherwise. In addition to the vax nutters there are people who think it's a dietary thing and try to feed their kids very specific foods (like camel milk). Other's think it's caused by an imbalance of gut flora and thus try to influence it with probiotics and fecal transplants. There's probably other craziness going on that I'm not aware.

I’m surprised they aren’t talking about using mandrake route, and leeches. But then, I suppose they would say “that’s just silly!“

I think it’s interesting how this matches up with some of the other lunacy that we are seeing these days regarding defunding the police, Trying communism in the US, and other crazy stuff that people want to try out. There’s a narrative that says that social progress is always in a straight line and upward, I think this is a good indication here that people can be just as stupid, ignorant, and primitives as they were in the middle ages.

People aren't as opposed to leeches as you might think. Some woo-woo places still use leeches. Also bee-stings too, apparently. Dumb people go to pretty absurd lengths to avoid listening to doctors.

Spoiler: Off-topic

On the "defund the police" thing: I think when suburban police start buying tanks, they're probably a little overfunded. There would be less crime in the first place if the money they spend on military weapons was put into programs for addicts and the homeless.

That's what people mean when they say "defund the police." They don't mean "get rid of all policing" (at least most don't-- there are probably a few crazies who think that.) Honestly "defund the police" is a retarded slogan for its lack of clarity. "Demilitarize the police" or "Restructure public safety" would be more representative of what these people actually mean.

Fundies do that too.
Got a cousin who just had a baby...home birth, baby has seen a chiro but not an actual medical doctor.

Eh, some of these have legit (but horrifying) medical applications, but don't let that fool you into thinking these people deserve any support.

Spoiler: disgusting beyond reason

Spoiler: Are you sure? It's about "maggot therapy"

Ok, here we go.
So in addition to the leeches and bee stings, there's this thing called "maggot therapy" where people intentionally put maggots on/in you to let the maggots eat necrotic flesh. It works better than surgery because the fly babies don't eat healthy tissue.
"But NoReturn" you ask "I've seen a dead squirrel on the side of the road before. Don't maggots go all wormy-squirmy all over the place?"
Glad you asked! According to one medical practitioner: " The maggots are applied to the wound for 2 or 3 days within special dressings to keep the maggots from migrating. "
So there you have it! You get maggots put into your fupa, wrapped up, and left for 72 hours. Sleep tight!

They put the maggots in tea bags.
