Hi all,
I'm new to MN so be gentle and excuse any acronym mistakes!
My DH and I are going to start TTC for our first child soon so and we had a discussion (fight) about how we would feed our child last night
I have been a vegetarian due to ethical and health reasons for over 10 years and he's very much a meat eater. We generally look after our own meals at home or he will eat what I eat sometimes and add meat to it himself - this will obviously become more complicated when we have a baby!
I can't see myself feeding our child meat as it would really upset me and bringing them up as a child who loves and respects animals and who doesn't see just see them as food (as DH does) is really important to me. DH adamantly disagrees, won't even entertain looking at any of the research I've done (which is extensive) re vegetarian/non-vegetarian diets (on both sides of the debate) and is adamant that he wants our child to eat meat.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and reached a compromise? Any advice would be much appreciated!
