Son in law - dislike

?

Are you ok Chookstar?

I do know that some vegans in Australian have acted very militarily, have gone on to farms and let out cared-for animals
which have then been mauled and killed by dingoes etc, so they are not at all popular in some areas.

Unless your SIL is one of them, welcome him to the family.

Made up story!

Chewbacca

Over the past 12 years, my DIL has slowly but surely turned my DS towards vegetarianism. She might be a wonderful wife, mother, nurse, cook, gardener and DIL but I knew she was a wrong 'un from the start with all her new fangled notions about food!

Obviously chewbacca!

What a dreadful DIL, Chewbacca. How could she manipulate your DS like that after all the values you have instilled into him?

This is the only evidence offered of this man's nefarious doings!

All the things she had been bought up on have gone out the window?? Do you mean the bones? I am picturing a young couple staring out at a heap of picked-clean bones piled up like a charnel house. Enough to make anyone think that a carniverous diet is not the only option.

I think it’s your daughters life, and your daughters choices, you may not agree with them, but surely she’s allowed to do what she wants to isn’t she.

One of my DSs has become a born-again vegan and is quite militant about it - often sending me links to articles about why veganism is saving the planet! Pain in the neck! But he is still my DS and I love him. I shrug my shoulders and have a laugh about it with my other DS who is an unapologetic carnivore. I occupy the middle ground as a vegetarian. If we have a family get-together, we cater for all tastes and some of his vegan cooking is delicious.

I am disgusted by the way everyone has turned this into a joke about turning vegan. Why has everyone jumped onto the vegan bandwagon, it is just one of the points that Chookstar73 has started her post with and the way (almost) everyone has reacted to, I'm not surprised she hasn't responded. As I said my story is very similar and my ES turning vegan is not important I was stating it amongst other things, before we estranged he did state that he was surprised how tasty some of his wife's meal were, so good on him, it's the whole 180 turn that is confusing.

I agree Elless especially when the OP posted "I feel as if I don't want to be around her as every time I cry as I feel I have totally lost connection".

It may be felt that the OP's reaction is OTT and totally unreasonable but I don't see that there's anything here to joke about.

Disgusted? One of the points? Veganism is the only point the OP has made about why she dislikes this man. The rest is just conjecture unless she explains more ... and she hasn't.

Elless So what were the other points she made?

Because I only saw one. Which was the fact her child. That she raised so perfectly had been converted by a filthy vegan!!!!!!!

It's not a massive change in a person. It's just food.

And I personally find someone getting their knickers in a twist over this absolutely ridiculous and yes. Quiet a bit funny.

Surely that's what happens when you grow up?
The things you were raised on were your parents views and ways and not your own, so when you get older you grown and change.

Unless they are ramming down your throat then I wouldn't let it get to you.

I don't imagine Choostar ever expected. such a load of criticism to descend on her, because it seems she was looking for comfort and kindness as she's obviously distressed over the new veganism.
I hope she is brave enough to put her head over the parapet and let us know why she's so upset.
And I hope she gets some more sympathetic replies.

A. I don’t think this is real.

B. If it were real I’d say Chookstar sounds quite strong enough in her views to withstand a few criticisms on Gransnet.

Chookstar didn't describe her s.i.l. as a "filthy vegan" Bibbity but hey, if it's not enough to turn her concerns into a joke accuse her of posting things she hasn't.

OP didn't explain, other than changing to vegan, anything D or s.i.l have done to cause dislike.

I didn't read logical reasons to dislike OP's s.i.l in the post.

'All the things she has been bought up on have gone out the window to join the partners view. '

Get a grip. I can't speak for anyone else but I certainly can not offer comfort or support past "don't be so ridiculous."

And Smiless I was joking. Because you are all trying to fight her corner but still haven't come up with any other crimes committed.

I don't think it's real either. Don't know why, can't quite put my finger on it. Might be something to do with the phrase 'being a huge off the bone meat eater', or the way it is written. I may be wrong, in which case I hope the Op hasn't totally alienated her daughter by now.

Chookstar probably work for an advertising agency, pumping up traffic with goady scenarios.
marks out of ten ? 7.

it just takes one early on to doubt a thread starter and all the sheep follow...........what utter nastiness.... no need to post if you don't believe it is there.

'being a huge off the bone meat eater

An Australian phrase I believe

An Australian phrase I believe

I think so - I think there is an Australian restaurant called Chookstar

So it is!
We could have all visited on a Gransnet meet-up but we can't go to Australia.
