Definitions
A playful variant of 'crunchy mom' — internet shorthand for a mother who embraces natural, holistic, and often attachment-based parenting approaches: think breastfeeding, babywearing, homeschooling, essential oils, and avoiding mainstream medicine. The 'scrunchy' version is a blend between 'silky' (conventional, mainstream parenting) and 'crunchy', suggesting a mom who picks and chooses her battles rather than going full granola. The terms are mostly self-applied with humour in online parenting communities.
She described herself as a scrunchy mama — all for cloth nappies but absolutely not giving up her epidural.
