Am I the only one who doesn't feel judged for "crunchiness"?

I've never really had anyone directly criticize any of my EF practices, including CDing.  I've had people tell me that they think CDing is gross, but I didn't take that to mean that I or my family was gross or anthing.

    I don't know if people judge me or not.  I think it's more that I don't pay attention because I don't care what people think of my EF ways.  I'm loud and proud about my EF geekiness!!

    I get teased about it sometimes, but no real judging goes on.

    I only know one mom that judges me for it. 

    Pixy, you know her too. I bet you will see it after you have your baby.

    other than my mom telling me i shouldn't sleep with the baby, no one seems to say anything

    i had people telling me to wean lauren when she was 2 though

    i'm not sure if i'll experience the same when willow gets older, but i don't really care

    This!  I'm not much into what others think of me in this aspect especially because I think I'm doing my best for myself, my family, and our Earth.

    With CDing, I've never felt judged.. I think some people think I'm crazy to bother, but they aren't mean about it.   Homebirthing, I definately feel judged, but I also will admit that I'm secretely very judemental about the birth choices some people I know have made... The difference between me and them is that I keep it quiet, but they seem to think that they can say whatever they want about my choices.... Other EF choices I don't think people have really noticed.... It doesn't really matter much to me..

    I know people/friends see me as crunchy but it doesn't bother me.  I actually see it as kind of a positive thing.  There are much worse things to be.
