Raising a vegetarian child in a meat eating world?

I was raised veg with people acting as landmines.

Please let the kid grow up knowing that if someone manipulates her into eating things that are not on her personal menu, she can tell you, and you won't be upset with her.

My parents told me that every family does things differently, and our family eats differently than most.

When I was small, only parents provided food. As I got older, they let me know whose food was OK for me, and how to read ingredients. By the time I was in school, I knew I could have some things and not others.

It isn't unusual any longer, and most non relatives respond positively.

You and your husband will both need to be firm on the boundaries you set with behaviors toward her. She will feel conflicted and betrayal when people whom she is supposed to trust, try to make her break family customs and rules.
