What Is Your Family’s Weird-O-Meter List

Jun 23, 2008 Whatever

My friend Jo Jo Tabares added an interesting blog post over at the Pink Collar Club. She created list of what might make her her family weird in society’s eye and I just had to jump right in. After I replied to the post, I thought it would be interesting to come on over here and post my list.

This is my list of what makes my family weird:

• We homeschool
• Love being with my kids and family
• Started vaccinating Brehane but stopped at the age of two after I did some research. My husband was against it from the start but I fought it.
• We own our own business and homeschool our children to know how to own their own.
• I made all my own baby food
• We are totally into natural remedies and home care.
• We are Sabbath Keepers -which means we worship on Saturdays
• We don’t attend “normal” church on a regular basis because we are looking for something outside of the norm
• We do house church and will build upon that once we relocate to Oklahoma
• Watch movies like “Call of the Wild” and nature stuff
• Are mainly vegans ( my oldest son and I still eat a little meat about four times a month)
• We write our own worship songs
• We are looking forward to growing our own food
• My youngest son only watches PBS and movies we pick out.
• I make my teenager wear pants that fit and a belt.
• Oldest son has no girlfriends but is allowed to talk to girls.
• Encouraging and supporting him to stay pure until marriage -really strange for a boy
• We eat things like bamboo shoots and sea weed.
• We are fascinated with simple things like watching the actions of and feeding the squirrels outside of the house.

Ok is that enough to make you think we are weird? So what is your Weird-O-Meter List.
