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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my younger sister that meat comes from cute animals like chickens and cows, hoping she'd want to be vegan like me. Instead, she laughed and made up a song about how chickens turn into tenders and cows turn into cheeseburgers. I ended up being the one who got upset. 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 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 vegan sister told my kids where meat and dairy products come from, in a very detailed way. They now refuse to eat meat, and want to, "rescue all the poor animals." FML
Today, my daughter came home from school crying hysterically. Apparently, her teacher is a vegan douchebag who told the whole class, "If your family eats meat, they're eating your future!" Now she screams when we eat meat. FML
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
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 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, I told my girlfriend that I'm a vegan. She replied, "So, you're allergic to meat?" FML
Today, I was on the phone with my little sister as she explained that all these guys like her now that she's so skinny and beautiful. My mom must have overheard me tell my sister that at least I was a cuter child, because my mom laughed and said, "Yeah right, we had to buy you fat kid diapers." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm sure he still loves you anyway. You're definitely missing out though, meat is wonderful!

how is this an FML?

Yeah, im sure that was the first thing he said about his new baby daughters

Hmm, I think maybe people are treating this too harshly out of context. It seems like the kind of thing a lot of fathers would say jokingly and if he hasn't made it clear to you that he's not happy with you being a vegetarian, I don't think he must mind too much tbh.

Huh, I saw this same FML in the 'Moderate the FMLs bit', but it said in that one that the Dad had said "I hope they don't turn out gay or vegetarian" and that the OP was both of those things. I wonder why it got changed? Anyway. I have a lot of respect for people who choose to be vegetarian. I've been vegetarian all my life and I could never even think about eating meat now because it's how I was brought up and it seems totally weird and alien to me. Props to you, OP. (And also if that original FML was correct and your Dad said he wished you weren't gay as well, I really do hope that was a joke in bad taste and that he's accepting of who you are.)

I wouldn't mind if my daughter is vegetarian but I don't want my son to be a vegetarian

Are you really that narrow minded that you actually mean that? In that case I don't think you were ready to be a parent.

Ohhhh what a horrible life. You can't choose wether or not you're a vegetarian or not. FYL! Life is horrible.

She is upset because she found out that her father's first thoughts when she was born was to bad-mouth the diet choice that she ended up following. She never said anything about being unsure of her diet, you inconsiderate moron.

I feel you. My dad also hates that I am a vegetarian... He used to force me to eat meat as a child. Good thing that you stuck to your own beliefs not his :)

The thing is that as a vegetarian you have to take supplements to stand in for the meat you aren't eating and the nutrition that comes with it. (this should tell you that we need meat to survive and you aren't actually bettering yourself to be honest but whatever) With that said, you should eat whatever your family gives you when you are living at their house, they shouldn't have to expense these supplements just because you are picky and self-righteous. I wouldn't buy this crap for you and I wont for my kids. If they want to live that way, fine, but they can get a job and buy it themselves.

My parents used to ******* force feed me meat. it wasn't an expense for me to become a vegetarian in their house; I would eat the same thing as them except without the meat. Yes it was unhealthy but better than me puking up their meat. You have no idea what it is for your parents not to except you just because of you ******* refused to murder. Every single ******* night I sat there and they would force me to swallow the damn meat which tasted like ******* blood and hate

at age thirteen my father finally let me stop eating meat but after all that time of being force fed there was no way that I would ever even taste meat again, don't you ******* tell me that a parent should be able to tell their kids that they had to partake in the killing of innocent animals. I don't have a problem with people eating meat, it's when they tell ME how to live MY life, when they tell ME that I SHOULD kill, that's when I get pissed and no child should have to deal with that

It's not about being picky and self righteous. I physically cannot eat meat. #172, I physically cringed when reading your message because I cannot touch meat, I can't even be in a room where it's being cooked, because I feel like it's going in my hair, covering my skin, or that I'm breathing it in. Not wanting to eat meat for whatever reason (mine is I guess ethical but also because to me, without exaggeration, it feels like cannibalism) is hugely different to being picky. I don't preach at other people not to eat meat but yeah, I would expect them to respect what I do and do not put into my body. And any parent who forces their child to eat meat is being a bad parent. Sorry but it's true. It can be a hugely psychologically damaging act for those who feel that guilty and disgusted by meat. (FYI, I don't take supplements)

There is no need for supplements; spinach, lentils, chia ect for iron, and many other things for other nutrients
