[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who ask why those with special diets can’t adapt for just one day maybe you should look at it from a different perspective. Maybe on one day you could try to understand the preferences of the people you call family and friends that you are inviting to your home to celebrate Thanksgiving.[/quote]

I think you are missing the reason for the frustration.  A lot of people have gone through great lengths to accommodate people to only have them turn around and the day of the meal decide to splurge or change thier diet. For example, my mom goes through great lengths to make all the sides are vegan or make special vegan sides and I bring a vegan dish for my sister.   My sister brings nothing, and then pigs out on the desserts that she knows have eggs, butter and milk. I have no problem going out of my way for my vegan coworker who is always vegan.  I do have a problem with seeing my mom stress put over making vegan things only to have my sister eat non-vegan items.  [/quote]

I think you should stop making vegan dishes for your sister. She doesn't appreciate it and you're (rightfully) resentful. [/quote]
