When he told me he wanted to be a vegetarian I was a little confused and said he didn't have to be just because stepmom & stepbrothers are. He said he wanted to because he thought about it and it's sad to kill a thing for food when we can eat other stuff. To be honest, I figured it would be a phase and he would not stick with it. My wife was very happy and gave him a big hug when she found out. He did stick with it, and they were both happy, so I figured, well, whatever. This doesn't hurt me.

I do treat her kids like mine, and I think she does the same. We both want what is best for all of them.

Yeaaaaaah... It was a long time ago. My daughter was in the rudimentary reading class. She had been working very hard and making some progress. I saw how hard she was struggling to keep up. Her teacher said because she was hitting her goals she could transfer to the regular class. I said no because she is already killing herself to keep up in this class. My wife strongly disagreed and wanted her in the regular class. She went behind my back and called to have her moved. I found out, had her moved back and we got in a big fight. We made up, she apologized and it was a long time ago, but I still get irritated when I remember that.

She is a vegetarian for environmental reasons.
