I think a friend gave my child gelatine in food

[yetanothernamechnager]

I am very upset with him mum thinks I am being unreasonable

We are vegan by the way

Are you talking about a bowl of jelly? Maybe they didn't realise that it shouldn't be given to a vegan.

FWIW it can be very difficult feeding someone who has put such constraints on their diet.

Was it deliberate or an oversight?

Call the police

It was probably a mistake - not everyone knows the gelatine thing. In any event it's done now, nobody's dead and a gentle word with your friend will be much more helpful than you going right off on one don't you think?

Leave the bastard.

Damnit, Ghost got there first. Now I have nothing useful to say.

Did you tell her she wasn't allowed it?

I am vegetarian. I probably accidently eat some gelatine at times when well meaning friends give me meals. In the grand scheme of life it isn't that importnat is it?

Not worth losing good friends over.

Unless they force fed your child against their will, or eating it accidentally will cause your child physical harm then YABU I very much doubt it was done deliberatly

Have a fun-free

Unless the food was a big mac then YABU

You 'think'? You need to find out for sure before flying off on one!

If the friend isn't vegan, maybe they didn't realise that gelatine was a problem. If it was a genuine accident, and they are sorry about it, then I think you ought to forgive and forget. But if it was deliberate and/or they aren't sorry, then YWNBU to be upset.

There's gelatine in a big mac???????????????????????

I think this is a drip feed. The OPs gonna come back in a minute and say it was a Greggs sausage roll.

Hope that's a low fat, gluten free, no additive, fat free, sugar free, vegan, halal and kosher there SirBoob

Christ I was quicker than someone for once :o

In all seriousness though OP it's not like they manevolantly stirred it in cackling all the way....

Is this a "well wafer thin ham isn't meat" sort of person (in which case I'd be annoyed, but not furious, and would maybe try to nicely let her know next time what is and isn't ok), or a "I know best and that child needs proper food" sort of person, in which case I don't think YABU!

Depends, was it a genuine mistake? Or did she deliberately feed him something you'd explicitly asked her not to?

Just out of interest, what if the OP was kosher or halal or whatever?

Was it a jelly sweet?

If the OP was kosher or halal or whatever the mistake would still have been made and still nobody would be dead.

will OP come back? Or just watch whilst poster after poster repeat one another.
