To tell Dsis (9) that if she "won't sit at a table where people are eating non free range turky" that she can eat her christmas dinner alone on the balcony.

My lovely adorable and slightly precocious little sister is 9 and has been a self declared vegetarian since she was about 4.

My family are coming to stay with us for Christmas and my mum has kindly offered to cook Christmas dinner which is fab as I am due to give birth on the 8th (but feel like the baby is happy in my tummy and won't be here till much closer to Christmas.) I was talking to my mum and sister today about what I should buy for dinner, they fly to us on the 23rd and we have a christmas day celebration with my DP's family on the 24th so I need to get prepared. I went trough all the vegies and stuff for a nut roast, then I said maybe I will get a big chicken instead of a turky and my little sister said well you had better make sure it is free range as I won't sit at a table where there meat that is not free range, I said to her that is fine she can sit on the balcony and eat her dinner.

AIBU and a nasty big sister, I will look for a free range chicken but I don't often buy meat and I have no idea if you can even buy free range chickens in the country we live in.

No there has been no tantrum, I don't think she would tantrum with me, my family are amazed at how well behaved she is when we are together but I think that is because i am strict but also we are often doing fun things.

All children are generally the centre of attention. It goes with being a child,

A good word 'whatever'.(smile)
She has just made her statement. I would just say 'OK' in a vague manner and not discuss it further. Do your own thing, set her a place at the table, without comment. If she says anything, just say in a bored, vague tone, ' well, see where you can find a space to take it' and ignore.

raised ethically to improve the quality of the meat

I think its like non free range chickens, but they get to listen to

Just a little update, we bought some beef today (nice organic beef) so we are all set for Christmas.

God I've just read this thread with my mouth hanging open

She's Lisa Simpson isn't she?

Sorry but I'm leaning towards Bupcakes idea here....

I hope you have a good day I still think she sounds lovely.

[honeytea]

Thank you! I hope the day goes well, I am overdue by 8 days and will be induced on friday if there is still no baby so I might not even be here to worry about the dinner!
