In a clip on her @paigethemomma channel which has racked up hundreds of likes, she said: “How I parent.
“Sleepovers? No.
“Dyes in their diet? No.
“Making our kids hug all family members? No.”
People were quick to chime in, and many took issue with the sleepovers rule.
One person wrote: “As of someone who Girls with no sleepovers watching all of your friends go makes you really sad.”
Another asked: “Will they do sleepovers when 9-10+ tho?”
And a third wrote: “I will allow sleepovers at my house but no friends houses.
“Family is different but there’s only a few family members I trust enough with my kids and I.”
However, some mums agreed with the rules.
One person commented: “Same on all of these! You’re a great mama!”
According to Kidspot.au a crunchy mum describes a mum who would prefer to use natural options if they can.
They wrote: “Crunchy mums usually choose the natural option instead of the mass-produced or medicated one.
“So that’s a natural (drug-free) home birth, placenta encapsulating, breastfeeding (not just for the 6 month recommended WHO minimum, but until the child weans themselves), anti-vaccination, anti-circumcision, baby-wearing, co-sleeping, bed sharing, cloth nappies or elimination communication, attachment parenting, natural medicine, organic eating, and (sometimes) homeschooling or unschooling.”
