Its a sad world :(

And TBH I haven't joined the Nestle Boycott, or the page or added an avatar. Why? Because I know there are products in my house that are Nestle and I would feel hypocritical.

and thats exactly how I would feel if I did something like that. I think thats why I was sick of it, my guilt and having those items ect. I dont like jumping on band wagons just because someone else is on that I like I need to have a reason and logic behind it, selfsatisfaction yes...self gratitude that im doing something not just for the sake but for a good 'cause' so to speak.

I really do think that this is something that would be an important parenting and ethical step for me and my family. Having an almost 10 year old who expects ect, it might be an eye opener for him and something we can share to know we are doing some good in the world rather then just taking from it.

Kelly - that is fantastic that your DD has those views already. See to me...those sort of things would stop alot of the bullying ect. I see so many people bringing up aggressive, negetive children that it makes me worried that my children are more emotional and compasionate to others. I am extreemly proud of how well my boys display their emotions and perspective on certain things....but I think that doing this will just make them that much more a better person and as you said take their wonderful ethic's into adulthood

thanks guys
