It's not a phase, mom!

Today, my parents made me a steak dinner to celebrate me visiting home from college. I've been a vegetarian for eleven years. This is the third time they've done this. FML

Hmm...just a thought, but I don't think this was posted as a for/against debate. My guess is that the OP was just upset about the fact that this dinner, prepared FOR her, was full of food she has refused to eat for a long time. It sounds like the parents are one way and so they think their offspring should be the same. It's no different than if the OP was lesbian and when she got home they had the hot new neighbor guy over and tried to hook them up. I'm guessing that would give some laughs, but many more arguments that it was wrong. The fact is, the OP chose a certain lifestyle and the parents not only ignored it but tried to force their own lifestyle on her. Cut her some slack, once again...this dinner was supposed to be a "welcome home" meal.

somebody doesn't want you to be a vegitarian

I'm a vegetarian to and my parents made burgers every day for two weeks when I first became one, it is okay just tell them that they can't change you

Guess who's always in this situation, too ?!

they wanna turn you into a normal human .. YDI for being a veggie , unless you are for a health reason

It's taken you this long to pick up on the subliminal messages?

Vegetarian is an old Indian word meaning bad hunter
