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!

And give the rest to Chuck Testa to scare the step-mom because she will think it's alive? Or not, since its only a steak.

Here's a rough draft Christmas wish list for you. Beef jerky Summer sausage Ribeyes Blackforest ham And bacon I would be happy!! Make sure they get the list soon so they can fill it.

I think the unreasonable thing here is this one person is forcing their personal choice on everyone else. This is the wrong kind of vegetarian. That choice for yourself for whatever reason is all well and good. Now if she herself is not willing to cook meat dishes that's alright. If no one can even bring any that's ******* tyrannical and controlling.

"NoOoOoOo bit we haz to bE saving teh llammas and pandAs and teh whales!?" That's how I imagine these kind of vegetarians. But then again, I took 56g of raisins this morning.

Well there's tradeoffs there. He had the option of either making your step-mom happy, or everyone else happy. Now after we look at the numbers on each side, we can safely declare that your dad's decision didn't make any goddamn sense.

Except he keeps his lady happy... which = ******** and boobs. I don't think anything can make more sense.

have you taken into account the bedroom factor? ;)

also, it doesn't say she's not an only child? So if its just the three of them, and he's willing to eat veggie, actually the numbers would make sense!

Vegetarian food can be good as long as there is no substituting things for meat such as Tofurkey. No one can tell me that tastes like turkey.
DelphiCat 17
from what i can deduce, tofurkey is f**ing nasty, or at least it will be if it tastes anything like tofu, luckily, its not available in the UK. However, there are a number of 'substitutes' which even if they dont taste like whatever meat they're imitating, they are actually quite nice (my cat cant differentiate, and she's a carnivore!) Unfortunately in the UK we can no longer get the Mornngstar range (which tastes AMAZING - if you live in the US get the bacon!) However, Frys stuff is all really, really nice and so is Tival (you can make pigs in blankets out of their yummy little cocktail sausages) Alternatively, have a curry, my mum did this once because i persuaded her it was a good idea. It was. We has about 10 different dishes of vegetarian awesomeness!
