Mother chooses a vegan diet for her children, she doesn't send them to school or even to the doctor
The choice to have a child must be considered carefully as it is life-changing. And every parent choses how to raise their child, of course.
The basics for raising a child are almost always the same and include teaching good manners and having respect for others. But some parents make choices for their infants that many would regard as unorthodox. The mother in this story, for example, has been strongly criticized for her parental role. Let's find out why together:

Kaytlynn Green is a 23-year-old mother from Missouri, United States, who has attracted critisism for the way she is raising her children. Growing up in a very large family, Katlynn had always dreamed of raising her own family - which she was able to when she met her current partner, Jesse (31). But Kaytlynn has adopted a "alternative" method of raising her two children: 3-year-old Olive and 1-year-old Felix.
The Green family live a non-traditional lifestyle, one close to nature, free from social ties and constraints that could "trap" them and their children. The Greens have "gone their own way", without any assistance - and this included during childbirth.
The Greens try to avoid having to consult doctors and pediatricians as much as possible. Additionally, they eat a vegan diet, go around barefoot as much as possible and the little ones are free to behave however they want (and sleep with their parents).
These lifestyle choices have prompted many to label the Greens as bad parents. "They tell me I'm wrong and that I'm not a good mother. I don't care about their opinions: I am convinced that what I do is right and this is not understood by my critics. I was raised not to express my opinion but I don't want my kids to turn out the same," stated Katlynn.
Additionally, Kaytlynn prefers to do everything herself for her kids: from preparing food to educating them. She argues that direct experiences in the real world are key, not just studying books.
"We don't force them into doing anything, not even regulating their bed times. They sleep when they need to, both during the day and at night," Katlynn said.
And who's to say this parenting method is wrong? What do you think of Katlynn's lifestyle choices: is she really a bad mother or do you believe that everyone is free to raise their children however they want?
