I don't know where to start this. I have many many many irritations floating around in my head right now.
I am, by the world's standards, sort of 'crunchy.' I use cloth diapers, I (gasp) had a home birth (and no, I didn't have an epidural- I get asked that all the time), I delay and selectively vaccinate, I wear my baby, and I make my own baby food (oh and I breastfeed too). Honestly, that is not really much crunchiness. In Wyoming however, I seem to be seen as some kind of alien. Which is fine, I don't really care what people think of me. But everyone seems to think that because I do all these things that I automatically look down on anyone else that doesn't. Like if you don't have a home birth I think you're stupid or something. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY! I don't think I'm better than you. You do not have to make excuses to me about why you aren't choosing the things I am. I will not judge you for making a different choice than me just as long as you make your OWN CHOICES. The only thing I would judge you for is making a choice based on what someone else knows instead of finding out yourself -- but even then, I know what it is like to be young and impressionable so while I might feel sorry for you for not knowing better I probably won't say a word if you don't ask me!
Hmmmm. I haven't been as eloquent as I'd like, and I'm not sure I got my point across very well but I feel better. Sorry to anyone I've offended. Although there is probably only a couple people that read my blathering anyhow and I know they agree with me (thank you btw).
