Entitled Mom Finds Out Her Vegetarian Son Ate Meat Pie At A Birthday Party, Gets Furious At The Hosts
People nowadays suffer from a variety of food allergies, preventing them from enjoying many of the world’s most exquisite foods. However, if they are forced to stay away from them due to someone else’s decision, it is human instinct to consume the same food whenever possible.
In a related incident, OP described how Alex, a friend of his kid, began consuming meat pie at his birthday celebration, despite OP’s knowledge that Alex is a committed vegetarian. Since she had previously informed all of the kids about the contents of each dish, OP did not feel justified in forbidding him from eating meat. OP produced the food in accordance with the directions after asking every parent about their child’s allergies. Since OP’s kid likes meat, she prepared meat pie and a variety of vegetarian dishes, allowing everyone to have what they wanted to eat. The mother of Alex called OP the next day to chastise her for including meat on the menu, which was evident because her own son preferred it the most. To understand the OP’s point of view, read the entire story, then leave a comment in the space provided below.

1. OP wonders if she was an a-hole to let a kid eat meat at the party.
2. OP’s son invited his friends at home for his birthday party, and OP inquired from their parents about any food allergies. Alex’s mother informed her that his son was vegetarian, so OP prepared many vegetarian dishes along with meat pie.
3. At the party, Alex started eating meat pie, and OP did not want him to be embarrassed, so let him eat it. His mother called OP to bash her for including meat options on the menu, but her son loved meat, so she had to add them.
4. OP’s son had no idea that Alex was a strict vegetarian, so OP got confused about her decision to let him eat what he wanted.
5. OP already announced the ingredients of each dish and considered the kids to be old enough to decide what to eat as they had already learned it on their field trips.

OP had fulfilled her responsibility by properly informing the children about the components of each dish, and it was now up to the children to choose from them. OP’s son enjoyed meat; therefore, it was natural for OP to prepare meals of his son’s choice on his special day, but she also prepared several vegetarian dishes for the children who did not enjoy meat, but Alex ate the meat of his own choice.
