Judging...

in Eco-Friendly Family
This seems like a word that is thrown around on the bump. But I'm getting annoyed.

If I try to make the best decisions for myself and child and these aren't main stream, I MUST be an uptight judgmental person who doesnt know anything on how everything really goes down.

Yes, I'm a FTM, but through research I've made decisions I think will be best for my family. I'm not judging others for doing whatever they want to do.

I am concerned on how it will work with my kid and family doing things different in family and social situations. But I'll pass that bridge when I get there.

Anyone else feel judged for being ecofriendly?

    I know exactly how you feel. 

    We live out in the country and found ourselves expressing our eco-minded and sustainability ideas with hobby farming.
    Mostly, people tell me how lucky my kids are and how cool it must be to raise some of our

    I'm agree with kbruigton,I don't see that point of judging people of the way they live or raise their kids,not because I'm a ecofrendly and try to eat organic food means that I'm going to make less others,just remember no body is less or more than any one

    If there is actually an ecological crisis or global warming it is a justice issue at a level broader than the individual. Obviously how we raise our kids will make a difference much more broadly felt than in our own homes. our ethical choises are judgemen

    I've been judged harshly and ridiculed by those closest to me way more than I have ever judged others. It's been very disheartening to not have any support from those that mean the most to me. My girlfriends think I've gone crazy and turned into a hippy a

    well when it comes to judging there are those who are actually a bit judgy or come off that way because of HOW they say things. straight up telling one mother that what she is doing is wrong because its not what you are doing is being judgey and so is com

    I have a problem with the phrase many people throw around. That they can't afford it. Honestly if people ate out less or ate less processed foods I honestly believe they could eat a well balanced organic diet. At least eating the di

    Just wanted to jump in here for a minute and share. 

    My friends and family used to make fun of me back when I was a smoker (I know, I know...) because I refused to throw my cigarettes out. I had what we called the "Bloomin' Onion o' Butts i

    Interesting thread...I was raised by true back-to-the-land 1970s "hippie" parents, and I plan to raise my LO (due in July) in the same EF fashion. What I found throughout childhood & as an adult, is that "regular" consumers often feel judged by

    Yes, unfortunately my husband and I are graduate students and we live with his mother (actually I get judged a lot for this in general!).  

     She passes judgement on me for wanting to cloth diaper, and I don't think she is willing to com

    Every day! My family thinks that everything I have done so far has been as some kind of protest against the way I was raised.

    And yeah, sometimes I'm motivated by the fact that I want my baby to grow up healthier than I did... but I don't hold i
