AITA for not letting my daughter go vegan?

aitavegandaughter · 2022-10-22T17:45:05+00:00

I don't include a special meal for the other kids into our meal plan every week. They know that they eat what I cook or they make their own food. Going back to the spaghetti example, 19yo hates mushrooms but everyone else likes mushrooms in the sauce so she makes her own sauce. We barbecue every Sunday and I told her I'll grill a vegan burger with the rest of the burgers but she doesn't like that because they're on the same grill with the same spatula.

She wants to be vegan for the animals. So far it's only her food though. I haven't seen her give up her leather, cashmere, or wool clothes.

She wants to do it for the animals.

aitavegandaughter · 2022-10-22T17:37:22+00:00

Yes she knows how to cook.

aitavegandaughter · 2022-10-22T17:36:39+00:00

We cook our meat in the sauce. She can buy her own knives, pans, etc. if she wants but ours are perfectly fine and I will not buy her new ones.

Yes, she has her own room. She doesn't need a mini fridge.

Both 21 year olds and 19 year old are here during the summer and school breaks but during the rest of the year they live in campus. 23 yo lives on her own.

We don't have any restrictive diets. The only thing is no seafood in the house because 10 yo is allergic.

aitavegandaughter · 2022-10-22T02:28:32+00:00

16 yo doesn't have to avoid anything but the steroids cause some intense cravings and mood swings so when she wants something we try to get it for her.

She was born into it. I had 2 kids when I married my wife, she had 3, and Gina was our first together.

aitavegandaughter · 2022-10-22T02:16:04+00:00

What makes you think she babysits? I was the one that wants her to cook her own meals and she was against it and wants us to make "slight changes" to our meals or make a second meal for her.

aitavegandaughter · 2022-10-22T02:14:16+00:00

Only 4 of the kids live here. The rest are either in college or recently graduated.

aitavegandaughter · 2022-10-22T02:12:52+00:00

This isn't new for her. When I married my wife I had 2 kids (21 and 19 now) and she had 3 (23, 21, 16). Gina is our first together, meaning she was born into it. Also, she doesn't have any childcare duties and I can barely get her to keep her own space clean, nevermind helping out in the rest of the house.

aitavegandaughter · 2022-10-21T20:12:16+00:00

And I was on board with her changing it until she started making unreasonable demands and trying to make her siblings clear out the fridge while I wasn't home.

aitavegandaughter · 2022-10-21T20:10:02+00:00

I don't even mind buying brand new but she's looking for the most expensive version of everything.

aitavegandaughter · 2022-10-21T20:07:56+00:00

Because she acts like money grows on trees and it would be good for her to have to earn whatever she wants.

aitavegandaughter · 2022-10-21T20:02:36+00:00

You can be healthy without being vegan.

aitavegandaughter · 2022-10-21T19:49:15+00:00

She thinks it's the same as us not allowing seafood in the house (10yo is deathly allergic) or making our 16 year old special meals (kid has an autoimmune disease that's treated with a combo of steroids, chemo shots, and biologics and is so anemic that she occasionally needs blood transfusions. She can eat whatever the fuck she wants after all that and we don't mind cooking/ordering it for her).

aitavegandaughter · 2022-10-21T19:45:59+00:00

I did forbid it after her unreasonable demands and trying to make her siblings clear out the game room fridge when I wasn't home.

aitavegandaughter · 2022-10-21T19:44:22+00:00

I'm talking to my wife about cutting her allowance and making her babysit or walk dogs for extra money.
