Every family has disagreements, but disagreements in blended families can be even more difficult to solve. Rebecca had a tough time when the mother of her stepdaughter insisted that she make separate meals for the child because she is vegan. Rebecca didn’t give in and wouldn’t give in, which made things even worse. She told us about what happened.

“The ex-wife of my husband is teaching their 8-year-old daughter how to be vegan.” Our family usually eats a lot of meat, but I won’t get in the way if my stepdaughter’s mom has already made up her mind.

But things took a strange turn when she sent me a strict list of meals to make for my stepdaughter every day she stays with us.

I said no because it would be too much extra work for me. If her mother really wants to, I told her she could make the dishes herself and bring them to our house.

My husband didn’t like the idea because he thought his daughter should be able to eat fresh, home-cooked meals like the rest of us.

“Well, when it comes to your son Jack, you never complain about making him his own dishes, do you?” this man asked. “Don’t act like the victim here when you’ve been doing the same thing to your own son,” he said next.

He said, “You should be thankful that my ex is sending you the recipes; all you have to do is follow the directions.” This made me even more angry. It’s not that hard.

I got very angry and said that Jack’s case was very different. Unfortunately, some foods contain allergens that my son Jack must not eat in order to avoid getting very sick. His stepdaughter doesn’t have to be a vegan, though.

What must I do?

Sincerely,
Rebecca”
