Teen influencing LO as to what to eat(ie that meat is yucky)[angry]

[Carmenere]

My dss is 18 and a vegetarian. He has been for years and I have no problem with that, we mainly eat veggie food anyhow as dp only really eats fish, I always cook veggie versions of whatever we are having for dss.

Now imo my dd who is nearly 3 can be a vegetarian when she is an adult if she wishes, even when she is a teen. that is not a problem and she will be provided with a balanced diet. Until then I am choosing to balance her diet by providing ocasional meat(free range/organic) products which she loves.

She has just come upstairs and told me that the sausage I had just given her was yucky because dss said it was

I am fuming as it is difficult enough to get her to eat well and she is very suggestable. I have told him to keep his opinions to himself and he said he never said it but I know he did because I heard him. He thinks he is morally right, which is fine when he has his own kds but I am unhappy about him trying to influence mine

Any advice?

It is tough, I have been a strict veggie since my teens, I don't wear leather and I feel very strongly about animal welfare, however, my DD is 4 months and I have taken the decision to give her meat and fish, It will be tough on me, but it's not about me, it's about her and although I'm the first to say you don't need meat to be healthy, DD is my first and I can't risk affecting her health for my beliefs.
I was very militant at 18 (thought I was going to change the world ) but I would sit down your DS and explain that whilst you admire his principles and his passion, could he please refrain from pushing them onto your DD who at 3 can't comprehend the ethics of it anyway.
Not sure if I've been any help.

Thanks Justjam tbh I'm not so sure that he is that commited to animal welfare, well in theory he is but he just thins that meat is disgusting and wrinles his nose everytime I cook it.
His dad gave up eating meat when dss did to support him as he was impressed that the young fellow was deciding to have prnciples but dp now regularly eats fish which dss knows about but chicken too which is a secret.
I do find it a pain in th bum to accommodate them all with their food choices but I do it because I respect their choices(well apart from dp not letting dss know he eats chicken, that's just pathetic).
I just want dss to respect the choices I have made for dd.

and right you are too....very impressed with dp giving it up in solidarity!! my family use to laugh at me and wouldn't of given it up for love nor money, actually, that's not changed
I would tell him that if he continues to do it you will slip some meat into his dinner 'by accident'

He eats chicken in secret?

Que?

Talk me through this one, it's bizarre!

I know! For some reason dss thinks it is ok that dp eats fish(mainly because he had a heart problem and fish oils are beneficial) but not chicken and dp is being a coward by not being honest and admitting that he does eat chicken/duck/turkey. Don't look for logic here Caligula.
I think it stems from guilt about supporting dss or summat
