[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't you just eat vegan for a week? [/quote]

Because they don't want to? I, for one, am not giving up my morning yoghurt. Not sure why OP's family has to be the one to shoulder most of the discomfort when it's the other family that has the more extreme diet.

We have had this discussion many many times on dcum and it boils down to the above. One person or family takes a particular position that is limiting to themselves in some way (they are vegan, they only eat outdoors because of covid, etc.). The other person or family would have to sacrifice their comfort or do extra cooking/planning or would have to avoid foods or restaurants they’d otherwise enjoy in order for the group to eat together. It seems rude or callous for the second family to just disregard their friends or loved ones at meals. On the other hand, it seems rude or callous for the family who has chosen extreme restrictions to expect everyone else to adhere to their complicated limitations for more than a meal or two. All OP can do is talk to the other family ahead of time and find out what they had in mind. I agree with the others it gets dicey with the kids. [/quote]
