Just want someone's honest opinion, if you time... I view this world with extreme frustration. I feel like common human decency, standards, ethics, and respect for one another is hardly present in today's society. Corporations have taken time away from families, all forms of media encourage negativity, there is so much violence and to sum it up...unfortunately a lot of people just suck. With that said, I am finding myself to become more and more isolated. I am interested in attending a commune, because I feel that I can give my two girls the best value and experience out of life. My beliefs are not common with almost everyone that I know. Rather than cutting down a tree at Christmas; I'd rather plant trees and decorate them outside. Because of that, my inlaws took it offensive. I've been ridiculed for breastfeeding my daughter at 18 months, but I value knowing that I give my daughter the best nutrition for her. I try to balance my own and my children's diet with healthy and organic choices. So When other people give my kids sweets, I tell them "no thanks." Of course the chit chat begins, the strange looks begin... and I can tell I clearly am the topic of gossip. I want to homeschool my daughters or put them in a school with a very small community but family members make it seem like I don't know what I'm doing as a parent. So, sorry to rant... but this is depressing to me. I don't know how to handle the pressure of the world and now it's even worse after having my two girls. I want to live my own life without anyone's input, rules, and standards. I'm not the type of person to tell people to "f" off. I wish I was! Maybe I just hate confrontation and I try to suck it up. Maybe also, I'm tired of trying to explain my views to people. Is this at all any normal to how anyone else feels?!!! I hope no one feels as discouraged as I do, however I hope and pray someone can understand at least somewhat of how I feel. :-/
