"Off-Grid" or Unconventional parenting may be a huge trend for liberated countries, but most parents pleaded to keep things on the down low. A British couple was slammed by parents after they introduced their parenting style.
Adele and Matt Allen made an appearance on British TV with their five-year-old Ulysses and the one-year-old Ostara. Though family interviews maybe adorable, The Sun reported that the TV appearance turned out to be a disaster. The children were all over the place and Ostara even peed on the floor, which Adele described as a "nappy failure", while they were on air.
Adele and Matt Allen made a TV appearance not only to introduce the concept of "Off-Grid" parenting but to educate other parents about unconditional parenting as well. The family of four are asking for donations for them to live a self-sustaining lifestyle. They are on a quest to come up with 100,000 euros so that they can start their self-sustaining lifestyle and continue to spread the word of "Off-Grid" parenting in Costa Rica.
"We have an all-natural approach to parenting and are reaping the benefits," Adele wrote. "Our ultimate goal is to become self-sufficient, the way of making that happen is by moving to Costa Roca [sic] and buying a big plot of land where we can grow food, and have access to wildlife and nature in its natural state. That's where we need YOUR help, we would love if you could donate any amount and help us achieve our dreams.
The Guardians then highlighted that "Off-Grid" or unconventional parenting is a form of parenting narcissism where the parents would want other attention as they sought to go out of the norm.
Off-Grid or unconventional parenting often involves non-vaccination, placenta preservation, and even home-schooling the kids. There are countless pros and cons when it comes to these parenting techniques thus it often leaves a negative impression.
