I’d like to take a moment to shout out everyone who replied to this with an absolutely UNHINGED take about how I “don’t love my wife,” or how I’m “sneaking around her back,” “forcing my kids to eat meat,” or “causing profound psychological damage to my children.” It has been fun blocking you.
Heh. I guess you're supposed to give up meat forever or cook it in your wife's presence.
One person called me (a person they have literally never met) an asshole for causing psychological distress in 5YO, and when I said that the 5YO was the one who wanted the steak, called me (again, a person they have literally two sentences-worth of total lifetime exposure to) a LYING ASSHOLE. 🙃
Sneaking around by posting!
Last night, 5YO was explaining Meat Fest, a term my vegetarian wife came up with, to my mother-in-law with my wife filling in the details. We are clean on OpSec.
I don’t eat poultry, haven’t for 40 years. My ex husband and our children ate it regularly and it wasn’t an issue. What the entire fuck is wrong with people?!
Have you ever seen the pancakes/waffles thing? The one where you say "I like pancakes" and someone replies "Oh, so you're saying you hate waffles?" like those aren't two different sentences? It's that. And it's WILD.
You must eat the food that internet strangers demand you have!
My wife doesn’t eat red meat either and we always grill steaks when she’s away.
This is my first experience with the whole "I like pancakes/So you're saying you hate waffles?" phenomenon I'm sure you're very familiar with. It's an absolutely WILD experience.
My SO doesn’t do seafood so that’s when I get sushi, and she’s more than happy with that. What is wrong w people?
No idea. People are weird. Also, I recently learned that it's not fish that makes it sushi; it's the rice!
