Eating a sausage at toddler class?!

[Girl33]

I took my son today to a mum and toddler yoga class. All the kids were playing and snacking so my son got peckish. He chose a sausage from his lunchbox and the teacher informed me that meat wasn't allowed in the studio. I was so upset and I couldn't just take it off my son so we left.
Now im home I just feel really shocked and angry. I'm vegetarian but my son isn't, he's only little. Don't really want to go back there now.
Who had ever heard of this before???

Does it matter that "the majority of Hindus" aren't vegetarian? The one the op encountered obviously was, she told op at the time (doesn't matter that she failed put a sign up to announce the fact in advance) and op over reacted massively to a stupid little non event.
If a class happens to take place over a toddlers lunch time; eat before or after.
This carting lunch boxes everywhere you go no matter what the time of day or how appropriate the venue may be is unecessary nonsense.

Yanbu to try to feed a sausage to your child as a snack but the ensuing drama is a bit OTT.
You were asked not to do it as the class was vegetarian so " ok, sorry no problem" and then forgetting the whole thing would have been a more reasoned response to being shocked, upset no angry.
Drama over nothing

"What's the big connection between yoga and vegetarianism that people keep referring to?"

Yoga is a practice of the Hindu religion.

So is vegetarianism.

I thought people knew this.

How the hell is a sausage a choke risk?

I'm assuming that if you're taking the child to a yoga class, they're old enough to sort of follow instructions. Therefore they're also old enough to grip a greasy sausage in their sweaty fist, bite it and chew. Do you seriously cut up sausages for snacks????

What's the big connection between yoga and vegetarianism that people keep referring to?? The comparisons to pork in a Hindu building are completely baffling me!

And in fairness, if all the other kids were having a snack, why are people hopping of the OP for giving her kid a snack too?

Another thought - yoga sessions near me are held in a building that doubles as a hindu temple. Could this be the case here and the reason they don't want meat eaten in the building?

[Pipbin]

Why is it that anyone in authority thinks they can dictate what people can eat these days? Idiots

Would you start chewing on a bacon sandwich in a Jewish temple?

I have been inspired to change my username in honour of this thread!

This is a brilliant thread. I thought it was going to be someone complaining about someone else eating a sausage at a toddler class, but this is even better.

We need confirmation of what type of sausage it was.

No, admittedly I've had an absolute shit of shit days........ But I love an exclamation mark!!!!!!!!!

[Klayden]

I'm craving sausages now. :(

I think you've been overdoing the nitrites, hawkeye

[MitzyLeFrouf]

Sheesh. Calm down and take your finger off the with the exclamation mark key.

[Floggingmolly]

Not in the middle of a class they're not, Hawkeye. Why do lunch boxes need to be brought everywhere these days? How many "lunches" are necessary in the one day?

[HawkEyeTheNoo]

Bloody hell!!!!! It's a fricken sausage!! Who are you lot to comment upon what another mother feeds her child?! My DS always chose little cocktail sausages and olives in his snack pots!!! Jesus god in heaven!! And the forcing sausages on people who might not like them for religious reasons?? fuck off!!!
Yanbu OP. If no meat is allowed in the class then there should be a notice or you should have been told when joining the class! I would not have taken the sausage off of my DS as that would have been unfair to him and probably stressed him out! It's nice you do something with your son that you are bother enjoying, ignore the pearl clutching halfwits on here. You can't say anything at all without being told your a shit mum for taking your kid to yoga and giving him a sausage to eat!! Probably half of them posting whilst feeding their kids a mcdonalds!!!!

Was I the only one who read the title and wondered if was a euphemism?

[bialystockandbloom]

Would a chicken drumstick have been an acceptable snack?
