Vegan mom demands that adult daughter go vegetarian for 30 days as a birthday gift, she refuses to change her lifestyle: "She is trying to control what I eat"

When you're a child, you are essentially forced to adopt your parents' eating habits. This isn't bad or unfair; it's just how life goes. It's their house, and when we are children living under their roofs, we have no choice but do obey their rules. My parents didn't really allow me to have sugary snacks at home. Well, they did. But I could only pick one for the entire week. I quickly learned to opt for snacks that could easily last seven full days, such as a box of sugary cereal, rather than things I would have to awkwardly ration – like Poptarts. Naturally, I went pretty crazy with hoarding sugar my first few months of college since my parents no longer had any say in my diet.

In our story today, our protagonist's mom attempts to control her diet despite her grown age. She does it in a really sneaky way, though. She tries to convince her daughter to just try out vegetarianism for 30 days as a "birthday gift." However, our protagonist – and internet commenters – agree that this is just an in for further dietary control.

As a vegetarian myself, I don't think I'd ever force anyone to adhere to my diet. A vegan dinner is one thing, but this just seems like a sneaky way to get more control into her daughter's life.

It would just be a month of her sneaking around and hiding what she eats from her mom.
