Mixed Families / was Newbie - for Kate, Becki and All :)

[Guest guest]

Hi Kate, Becki and All

 

I admire your strength, Kate - I dunno what I'd have done if my dh had resisted

my vegetarianism Probably tried to convert him by stealth, I suppose LOL But

it's easy for us because we can both cook and both enjoy cooking. With your

older kids, too, it's great that they are not helpless in the kitchen. Whether

veggie or omnivore I figure everyone is doing their kids a big service by

teaching them how to prepare a meal for themselves as early as possible. (It's

like trying to teach your cat how to use a can opener at first, I guess but

they - the kids I mean - catch on after a while!) Starting with pb sandwiches,

even the youngest can quickly learn how to do that for themselves and feel

creative doing it, eh?

 

A note, however: we all have different reasons for being veg*n - with me it's

for the animals, but some are here for health or the environment or world hunger

or perhaps religious reasons or a mix of all that and something else too.

Different tactics, perhaps, for different causes?

 

As for Becki, well at least one of those kidz is young yet - a while to go

before making seitan tu*key roast or whatever! Baby steps, Becki

 

I figure that we all find our own way, and we do what's best for us and for our

families. Hang in there, Becky! It gets easier after a while and I will bet that

as soon as you find out how to make yummy veg recipes you'll have the family

drooling for them!

 

Let's hear from others - it all helps us and gives us ideas how to advise others

too!

 

Love and hugs, Pat
