What will happen if our grandson is here for a meal and wants to try some of our food, or they leave him with us for a time? What do you think are the rights of a grandparent vs. a parent?

Years ago, our daughter became a vegetarian when she married a guy who is a strict vegetarian. He wouldn’t allow nonvegetarian foods at their wedding and they won’t eat anything that has any trace of meat, for example marshmallows and jello. For family gatherings, I always have to make two main courses to accommodate their wishes. Now, they have a son who went into daycare as an infant. Our son-in-law had checked that the daycare would serve him only vegetarian food once he began to eat solids.

And I’ll admit, at times it was a pain in my posterior region. Now I, the chef of the family, suddenly have a lot of thinking and shopping to do. My wife loves a good steak above all else; I’m a seafood person; and suddenly I’ve got two vegetarians on my hands. And don’t force other people to accommodate you. Once when we were invited for dinner somewhere my oldest son said,“I’m going to phone the hostess and tell her I’m a vegetarian.”

Once we went to Prince Edward Island. Seafood heaven for me, but driving along I noticed at one point in the rear-view mirror my oldest, who was now not only a vegetarian but a recent convert to Christianity, scowling grumpily in the back seat.Him : “I prayed to God to punish you and Uncle John [my brother-in-law] for the way youI pulled the car over. “Hey, kiddo, that is neither good Christianity nor good vegetarianism.

Making 2 pots of chilli right now!!!

Kids are growing and have different dietary requirements. I don’t eat red meat, but my 2 boys do. Don’t force your lifestyle on them. They will figure it out on their own. Educate them to eat healthy, make better food choices and skip the processed food!

You are stuck with your parents !

Parents should decide what’s best for their children, as long as they are well informed.

I am vegetarian, my daughter is not. I cook two pots.

You may not have lived through a time when what you 'wanted' to eat wasn't the choice. What you 'had' to eat was. I doubt your kids did either - unless the veggies were from the 'home garden' everybody grew.

Couple suggestions: When your family comes over, instead of making two meals, try eating the vegetarian dinner you make for them. And, when talking to your grandson, maybe avoid using terms like “normal” or “regular” food. Vegetarian food *is* normal food, just without meat.

Give to him, no?

Spoil him. It's what grandparents do.

It isn't YOUR child therefore YOU do not make those choices for them, either respect YOUR own childs wishes. I'm no veg but folks need to understand THEIR place in it
