A harsh situation...

[C.Phantasy]

Hi!

Today I encountered a harsh situation...

It all began with my Grandma asking me if I would like to go with her&grandpa to the christmas dinner table this winter,they asked me a while ago but today I took my stand. I have not been really interested in this "X-mas dinner" for so long and have almost forgotten about it untill it hit me today.

I was kinda suprised when my mom yelled to me that I would have to call my grandma today and say "Yes or No". When I called her I was a bit stressed and the conversationen ended up with my grandma saying "there will be alot of fish to eat at the dinner table" then i...said "Yes"...

So my Grandma wrote me up in a booking list and sealed in it an envelope that she will send tomorrow.

Then I had this argument with my mom that I actually didnt want to go...
It went very rough and it seems like she really gets annoyed on the the "vegan" inside of me...

It is actually to late to make any changes in the booking list everyone says, it will cost alot money for me to go to this x-mas dinner.

But I will go there and act like Im enjoying myself (for my grandma sake) and have some fish but mostly cookies I try to plan for myself.

Any thoughts? This is a hard thing for me,but Ill manage it.

I will go to this dinner but I wont go to any other that does not serve vegetarian meals.

At this moment I will see my self as an Semi-Vegetarian,but after this dinner ill try to become an vegan :)

You can go and still enjoy yourself w/out eating fish. Just eat before you go, and if there's any good side dishes there, eat those.

The way I would do it is go directly to you grandmother, and explain that vegetarians do not eat fish, and ask for a substitute dinner with no meat. Tell her, you're sorry there was some confusion. If it has eggs or cheese, it is better than having meat. Your choice.

it seems like this dinner is pretty fancy so the chances of them being able to make a vegetarian/vegan dinner are much better for you. Can you call or email ahead of time and request a vegetarian meal?

Because of the '=)', I'm going to make the assumption that solving it didn't lead to removal from any wills, or being outcast from the family. Good stuff :up:
