AITA for refusing to accommodate my stepdaughters new diet? I’m 25, with a 5-year-old and another baby on the way. My husband has a 12-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, and we have her 60% of the time.
Our family has food restrictions my son struggles with textures and smells, my husband can’t have dairy or gluten, and I’m dealing with pregnancy food aversions. Recently, my stepdaughter decided to go vegan. It’s easier for her to stick to it at her mom’s, but it’s been challenging here.
I’ve tried different vegan recipes and even bought frozen meals, but my son and husband often don’t like them, and my husband prefers not to eat frozen food often.
I told my stepdaughter that on nights when we can, we’ll make a vegan meal together or she can have something frozen, but I can’t cook separate meals every night due to time and cost.
My husband thinks I’m giving up too soon, and now my stepdaughter is giving me the silent treatment.
AITA?

Let’s find out: AITA for refusing to accommodate my stepdaughters new diet?
He doesn’t allow fucking noodles in the house, probably the easiest and cheapest way to accommodate a vegan. Holy shit, this dude is the problem.
SOwED writes:NAH meaning it’s you and it’s not the stepdaughter. It’s your husband. He has all these restrictions that your son either inherited or (more likely) learned from him. Yes, kids can sometimes be weird about food textures and things and be picky, but the fact that it’s the same issues your husband has makes me think it’s learned.
He can cook for her, but he won’t do it in a way she likes? He’ll overseason in a way he likes even when he’s not eating the meal?
Dude just sounds selfish and then he blames you for this situation when he could remedy it by just cooking for his daughter.

Bitter-Conflict-4089 writes:So, your husband should be the one preparing his daughter’s specialty items. But, since that doesn’t seem to be an option. Why isn’t the 12 year old cooking her own vegan food? 12 is plenty old enough to make a meal.
feedmebananabread writes:“Husband said im giving up too early” AND she refuses to cook for herself, and they both demand that you work harder after you’ve already tried a bunch of stuff? Why is the pressure of curating multiple separate menus 3x a day entirely on you? Sit them down and say she can cook for herself or her father can cook for her. You’ve done more than your fair share and they seem super ungrateful.
