Parent Fear Mongering and Natural Things

ATTENTION: YOU ARE KILLING YOUR BABY YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PARENT AND SO IRRESPONSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't tell you how many things I've seen that say basically this exact thing when it comes to parenting. People are NUTS about their kids. And it's something that's fairly accepted in US culture. Take the example to the left. "HIDDEN DANGERS". It then goes on to detail every single terrible thing you're exposing your child to. It then goes on to tell you what you SHOULD be using. Like paint made from milk (???????????????????) and other shit no one can afford. Did you know that bananas are radioactive? SO DON'T FEED THEM TO BABIES. Except people, and generally babies, love bananas (but not me, I'm totally allergic to them). And guess what? They're really NOT going to hurt you. Trace amounts of toxic things can be found in almost everything we use these days and it's not gonna kill your baby. I walk a fine line between thinking all this is over-sensitive hippie crap, and wanting to go back to basics and provide a natural space for Baby. I think all the shit to the left is ridiculous. Should you air out a nursery after you paint? Yeah duh. Be mindful of recalls if you can, but a lot of people get hand-me-downs or second hand things and honestly can't worry about this shit. Of all the terrible things you could be exposing your kids to, I'm not gonna sweat over getting organic paint and mattresses. I'm not cooking meth in my house for fuck's sake.
There are some things that I'm pretty passionate about doing naturally. Possibly naively, but natural childbirthing is really something I want to do. Med-free and preferably in water! Pain sucks really bad and I'm worried that when my vag and butthole are being ripped open I'll realize what a stupid idea drug-free was. But I guess I'll cross the pain bridge when I get there. Childbirth is really insane and to think that people with vaginas have been doing this for thousands and thousands of years!! I think being drug free would be like a connection with all those people and really fantastic. Oh man could that sound ANY more hippy-ish????? Sorry guys. Next time I'll talk about the horrifying-ness that is Attachment Parenting and THEN I won't sounds like a hippie butthead.
