I could probably have a few of those stickers, but I never would. I vaccinate and picked our pedi's office solely because they do not take un-vaccinated kids or allow delayed vaccinations for non real medical reasons. I cannot think of a time in ever where I would have all those stickers on my car though. I think the odds of her being a judgmental mommy war jerk are much better than the odds of her not vaccinating. She's pretty clearly saying that if you aren't doing things her way, you're shit.
I maintain that the most absurd part of this is the car. If you care so much about all of this shit, WALK EVERYWHERE BAREFOOT, DAMNIT! Or at least put the bumper sticker on your upcycled vintage bike.
And while I'm here, why is there a heart with nipples and a heart without?

Is now a good time to mention I hate all stickers on cars? I don't CARE about your stick family, or that your dachshund is "smarter than" my honor student.
And don't get me started on pro-life stickers. They make me want to key someone's car.

Aside from the last one I could have most of those bumper stickers. I vaccinate I swear
But you don't, right? I have been breastfeeding for over 8 freaking years straight with the exception of a few months during subsequent pregnancies. All my kids RFed past 2, including the one born in 2007. I have worn babies all over the damn place. And I certainly strive for peaceful parenting. Yet I have exactly none of these stickers and would not be caught dead with them on my car.
Whether you do these things is not the take home point. It is whether you feel the need to proclaim them to the world via impossible to interpret graphics.
If I was younger maybe. I used to love bumper stickers and had a lot of political ones which are probably as obnoxious.
I am somewhat crunchy, but I still find it weird that babywearing is perceived as some kind of life-style choice instead of just a really practical way to get shit done around the house with a small baby who wants to be held all the time or a way to zip around town that doesn't require hefting a stroller up and down subway stairs.
And crap, I sent DD off to school today over her "I don't feel well" protests so I could engage in this thread! Excuse me while I disappear and try to do some work... But only after I find out what "caw caw" means.
If you see someone with a Tula, you're supposed to say "Tula in the wild!" and they reply "caw caw!" I have no idea why, but it's a factor in why I don't own a Tula.

That is my "get off my lawn!" moment.
I walked up and tried to unlock the wrong minivan in the Panera parking lot the other day. A sticker would have helped. lol. I just can't think of anything I care enough about to put on my car.
I have this antenna topper, and it really has helped me find my car. I'm not even kidding.

I don't get that one either. Either it's useful or it's not
