  • How to solve in laws problem with our being vegan?

    Today at my fiancés birthday party, (that we weren't given notice for) his parents got pizza, lasagna and ice cream cake-- even though we are vegan...My fiancé, "Tim" (who hasn't gotten rid of dairy yet) ate the cheese pizza and the lasagna (no meat) and had ice cream cake.  I had a small salad. I was pretty upset that they didn't talk to us first as "Tim" works a night shift job and he had to rush to work after dinner. He had Friday night completely free and it would have been more enjoyable then as well as if I was included in the food plans (his cousin, "Joe" and his new gf were consulted about the food). 

    We bring our own dish to share when we go places but most people in our lives seem to think we should just eat  meat anyways (I was told I should have pizza and lasagna while I was up there).  I'm angry and hurt for being excluded, but also angry that people seem to belittle my food choices. I am not uptight about being vegan, I understand that it's personal choice but I'm marrying their son and won't be going anywhere. What should I do for future dinners with them? 

    On a side note I don't know how well they take to personal opinions and beliefs. I have mentioned I want kids at 26 (I'm 21, he's 24) and "Tim" agrees but she's been trying to convince him to wait till 40 like she did.  ( At which now his dad might not even remember our wedding in a year or be around for his first grandchild in 5 or so years because of Alzheimer's) I wouldn't even know what to do ( tell them or wait until it's obvious) if I became pregnant before that time, I get from them that abortion is okay for young woman who didn't plan to get pregnant. ( I am on birth control)

    --Please excuse the befuddled-ness of it as I am ill---

  • Average, Skinny, Curvy or Athletic?

    I am 5'4" with a small waist but larger hips than my chest, so I am a pear. I hate my body shape because most girls at my school are anorexic thin, and I'm not kidding they brag about it on the bathroom stalls. Most guys could put their hands around a girls leg around here. Now, I'm not fat, I have no belly, but I am athletic,(6km in 27mins) so I have muscular legs, but because I'm short I look stocky. Maybe it's just highschool that guys like the really skinny girls or maybe it's because I have no self confidence that if a guy does like me, I am too shy to do anything. Guys, what do you prefer? I want mature answers, nothing like "fat girls are ugly". Thanks.
