Today, my dad announced to the whole family that we will be having a vegetarian dinner this Christmas to make my step-mum happy. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my stepfather decided he was no longer part of our family, and refused to come to family dinner, all because we're all women, and he isn't. FML
Today, when I told my family I was a vegetarian, I expected them to make fun of me because that's just my family. But what I wasn't expecting was my dad to use raw meat as a puppet and make it say, "Eat me! Eat me!" then throw it at my face. FML
Today, my vegan step-mom found out I ate at McDonald's yesterday. She gave me hell and asked me how it feels to give money to "murderers". All while my dad sat quietly by because he's too whipped to speak his mind. It wasn't even her house a month ago. FML
Today, my mom told me that when my sister and I were born, the first thing my dad said was, "I hope they don't turn out vegetarian." I did. FML
Today, after working all day to make a big vegan meal for my family, hoping it would get them to become vegans as well, my brother thought it appropriate to pass around a block of cheese for everyone to grate over the pasta dish. FML
Today, my daughter said she wanted to be vegetarian like me. Beaming with pride, I made her plant-based burgers for dinner. She took one bite, screamed, "EW!" and started crying and begging for beef burgers. FML
Today, my girlfriend's parents wanted to cook dinner for me. After a whole day of cooking up a storm, her parents cooked an elaborate meal of roast lamb, pork chops and grilled chicken. Rejecting a meal is like spitting in ones face in Chinese culture. I'm vegetarian. FML
Today, my parents told me they're getting a divorce. However, they asked me not to tell any of the family so that the news doesn't spoil Christmas. Thanks, Mom and Dad. FML
Today, I've been a vegan for a year. It's also the day that I met my dad's new best friend, who happens to be a retired butcher. They tried to pull an intervention on me for not "being sensible" by eating meat. FML
Today, my family asked where I wanted to go for my birthday dinner. They shot down my every suggestion and decided on sushi. I'm allergic, so the only thing I could eat was a veggie appetizer. Dad said I need to "expand my palate." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

My family tried doing that one time. But, I have a car, so when I went to eat a "salad" I ate fried chicken(:

I think what the op is trying to get across is not that vegetarian food is gross but the fact that their dad is making the whole family have a vegetarian meal instead of just the step-mom eating a vegetarian meal! I would cook my own meat and put it on my plate just to piss her off!

Remind your dad that you'll all be ******** bricks from the sudden fiber intake, if you all normally eat a good amount of meat.

that's kind of sucky... how does your stepmother feel about this? was it her idea or did your dad come up with it to make her happy? i've been a vegetarian for a long time, i'm the only one in my (large) family and i HATE pushy vegetarians who make such demands. if we got to an event and there's eating involved, i will always let them know what i do and don't eat, and offer to bring something for myself. i'm a bit picky when it comes to substitutes (i stopped eating meat because i hate the taste so i will also hate the stuff that tries to resemble meat) so if necessary i'll just ask for a small part of the kitchen, cook myself a large portion of a delicious veggie meal and offer to share some with others who want to have a nibble. it's always seemed a bit pointless to try and make people take over your personal habits... if someone asks about it i'll be glad to answer questions about food and health and such, but i really don't care if other people do eat meat. hell, my boyfriend likes some meat once in a while (although he goes veggie about half the time, for health and environment reasons) and i relaly don't mind, as long as he doesn't try to kiss me whilst still drooling gravy. anyway, try reasoning with your parents. i manage to have my veggie food without too many conflicts, so you should be able to have your meat :)

Oh p-lease; I'm a vegetarian, the rest of the family are not! I do all the cooking, turkey and all; it grosses me out, but it doesn't mean I'm going to try and make everyone else change their views on meat/meat products! Try and convince your dad to add a few extra special veggie dishes for step-mum, and maybe carve the turkey up before hand and put it in a covered casserole dish so she doesn't have to see the whole turkey at the table! (that's the part my hubby does for me) Good luck with the convincing!
