Thanksgiving is going to be awkward this year
Do you ever sit around and think that your parents don't criticize you enough? You've got the house, the job, the husband and your kids are thriving. Your parents have run out of things to judge and you feel like something is missing. How do you remedy this?
Convert your family to veganism.
Go on, do it. And the first time you tell your mom about it she will give you the verbal grating you've been craving.
About a month ago I learned about how our food arrives to us in neat little packages and it was so devastating that I swore to never eat animal products ever again. Since I am the cook I control what we eat which means that in my house we eat a plant-based diet. My daughter is vegan and my husband, well, he's a grown up so he can do whatever the hell he wants.
This caused an uproar with my parents. My step-mom was respectful since her daughter is vegetarian and she gets it but I forgot to tell her so when she started feeding my daughter cheese I had to politely ask her to stop. My dad informed me that they will feed her whatever they want when I'm not around and I thought that I was going to lose it. I couldn't believe that he was being so disrespectful. I was so shocked that I couldn't speak for a moment. Thankfully my step-mom diffused the situation by slapping him on the leg and telling him that they'll feed their granddaughter based on her new diet.
I just couldn't believe it. Everyone else has been polite and asked me questions out of curiosity about getting enough protein or calcium or if a vegan diet was safe for a baby (it is) but this was absurd.
My mom babysat the kiddo the other night and she acted like she had never cooked a meal without meat or dairy because I had to provide dinner for them. It looks like I need to get some vegan cookbooks for the parents to avoid any awkward moments at the dinner table.
Or just never visit them during meals.

I can see where varying from the norm. is going to be tough for them. Though they should support it.
You should just buy like 20 copies of "Food, Inc." and hand it out like candy to anyone who gives you crap. Sometimes I consider doing that myself. I wonder if we would get a discount if we bought them in bulk??
Good for you girl! Thanks for sharing about veganism.... I am sure I am not the only one who is curious.
don't you just love how ignorant people are & they will accuse you of being neglectful etc b/c you are raising your child that way?! I hope that they learn to at least respect your new choices & honor them! Lord knows that the years I spent as a veggie I never heard the end of the stupid comments.. & people feel the need to challenge you on your choices & attempt to prove u wrong for some reason..stay strong & keep up the good work :D
it's funny the response you get to people when you proudly announce that the food they are eating is vegan, i've just stopped telling people, just because there isn't any animal product in a food doesn't mean it is any less tasty. I make a vegan cupcake that is way better than any dairy counterpart EVER.
People are ignorant to change, it's sad.

even before I quit eating meat, my mother told me when she visited from FL, that my fridge was full of boring stuff. too much healthy stuff. lol
OMG, I'd have frikkin' LOST IT if someone...ANYONE....said they'd feed MY kid whatever THEY wanted! I had that battle many times when they were being solely breastfed, since the only thing they had put in to them was breast milk until their first tooth came in (the teething process kick starts their digestive system & THEN they're ready for other things)...people felt I was starving them by not "feeding" them before 9 or 10 mnths....thankfully, I have no doubt, you're more than capable of telling any & all to shove it & sticking to your guns LOL!
:-D
Hey chickie!! We're slamming Jager Bombs & swapping jpegs....frik, I mean awards....again over in Crazy Town! Get your acceptance speech ready & come on over!!
:-D
I don't have to go vegan for my parents to be critical of me. They NEVER run out of stuff to bitch at me about. My dad still complains about a boyfriend I had 20 years ago.
That sucks that you dad said that. My fil said something similar about my 1st daughter when she was born. Started out with he was going to call her "Abby" bc that's her middle name and he didn't like Laura. He's a jerk so I don't talk to him anymore. My dad is a jerk too but I haven't talked to him in yrs. My mom and mil are too non-confrontational to say anything to me. HA!
I think giving them some vegan cookbooks is a good idea. Before long your mom will be whipping up some vegan meals that will totally impress your dad. (I hope)
You have NO IDEA HOW MANY chicken breasts were cooked for me when I was vegetarian. hahah. After 10 years as a vegetarian. I began eating meat (free range, open grazing, organic meats) about 4 years ago and I am now going back to eating the fish we catch and VEGGIES. Buh bye meat. I won't miss you or your savage processing & byproducts.
