Go, Vegan!

By Cheryl - 16/10/2019 04:00

Today, my vegan sister told my kids where meat and dairy products come from, in a very detailed way. They now refuse to eat meat, and want to, "rescue all the poor animals." FML

Telling kids in detail how sex works is true too doesn't mean a parent wants their kid knowing that before they have the maturity to handle it process it and make an informed decision. I'm not saying cut off the sister but the parent would be justified in doing so. When you have kids your loyalty should be to them not to your siblings. From the sounds of it the sister did everything she could to traumatize the kids. Not to educate but to ensure that the kids agree with her point of view. If it had been a grandparent telling the kids about hell to scare them into going to church I'd cut them off too. Parents raise their kids when it comes to personal beliefs that don't affect others it's the parents call not the other relatives.

She told them the truth... can't really be upset at her for that.

That's why my hubby and I have always told our daughter, from when she was very young (1-1.5 years old), that she was eating "oink oink", "moo", etc etc. She's not fazed at all now when we tell her she's eating chicken or whatever else. And she's 3 now.

Sucks for your kids but more meat for you!! Get you a good steak and invite your sister over and enjoy the hell out of it, vegans are about as annoying as nats or flies

Not all vegans... My sister's husband and her kids are vegan, but they raised them to not be the types to try to convince others not to eat meat. They know saing things like "why do you eat meat? You're killing animals!" etc are off limits. When they were younger, they did ask, but their parents shut that down fast. You can't lump all vegans in with the loud ones who try to convert others. Stereotyping isn't nice.

The argument that "it's true so it's fine" is bloody ridiculous. I'm all for educating but there's a wrong way and a right way to go about it, and telling children in a way that traumatises them is most definitely the wrong way. Once you've calmed them down you could perhaps let them explore the meat free option or combine it with free range products so they know the animals were treated well and not stuffed in cages. More pricey but doable. Definitely have a talk with the sister about what's appropriate to say to children though. It's vegans like her that give them all a bad name.

As I explained above, it takes very little to shock some children. I remember vividly the moment when I realised that the roast lamb my mother had served was a baby sheep that had been killed. No graphic videos or anything, just my sheepish Dad (sorry for the pun) bumbling on about sacrificial lambs in the Bible which was supposedly why it was ok.

I get that, however the post said it was done in a detailed way and kids don't necessarily need all the "gory" details. A simple "That's a lamb, it was killed to be eaten" response is perfectly suitable for kids. If they want to ask questions then you can answer them in an equally child friendly manner but we've all heard the angry vegans shouting about how "they're brutally slaughtered at the prime of their life for your own greed" and the original post suggests the sister made her announcements in a similar manner. The pun was excellent by the way.

This is easy, serve them only the vegetable they hate for a week, and or awful vegetables like Kale, Brussels sprouts (I don't give a shit if you like them, I don't want to hear it) etc. No Pizza (Cheese isn't vegan) or the ilk, just veggies. No Cereal with milk,Oatmeal no butter (Not Vegan). I bet they don't make 2 days. As for the Sister, bar her for 6 months from having any contact with the kids, and tell her there's a second interference on parenting with YOUR Kids, it's until they're 18 and stick to it, any family puts their 2c in, they get banned too.

All the vegans in the comments need to step the **** off and quit backseat parenting a total stranger. You don’t know how old these children are and they might well have not been ready to hear about what happens to animals! Especially not in great detail from a woman who had a hidden agenda. Y’all need to step away from your keyboards for a hot second and think about it bc you all sound like a cult honestly
