[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things we do that our parents disapprove of: 
Breastfeeding (I don't even exclusively breastfeed but the fact that I do it at all is A Thing for them)
Room sharing for the first few months
Playing video games ever (isn't even a daily thing but my mother things any video games are trash)
Same as OP with eating fast food on road trips
DH and I share a car instead of having two vehicles
Meatless Mondays 
DH has rheumatoid arthritis and takes meds for it.  My mother thinks he just needs some apple cider vinegar and coconut oil and he'll be cured and the meds are just poisoning him.

Things we don't do/don't allow that our parents think we're nuts for:
Not diluting formula (even though they know DD is very low percentile weight wise and needs to gain)
Not giving newborn DD water
Not introducing solids before 4 months
Not allowing anyone to hold DD immediately after they've smoked

Omg that is my mom. What is with the apple cider vinegar??[/quote]

LOL...NP here. It's something they probably saw on Dr. Oz or heard that Dr. Phil did one time, or something. My mom is always telling me stuff like "Oprah says soda is unhealthy," as if that is new news, and Oprah is the Surgeon General.[/quote]

Yes! If Oprah or Dr. OZ said it, she does it. She also does like eat right for your blood type diets! I can't![/quote]

I am crying! My mom is always calling me up with new diet tips (I'm not overweight), and acts like "The Doctors" have finally found the miracle cure-all. HELLO: Eat less, move more. Eat lots of veggies, and fewer donuts. It really is that simple. But no, FISH OIL AND QUINOA SMOOTHIES WITH COCONUT WATER![/quote]
