Donknottz, thanks for posting! You are right in the sense that I am making excuses for my actions. And right now in my life I am okay with that. I haven't always made excuses for my beliefs, I used to be so rigid in my values and thinking that it became a very lonely and sad place.

I've always been different...the radical feminist, vegetarian, vegan, attachment parenting parent, non-vaxer and so on. During my years I have realized that balance is key to living a healthy and happy life. My child taught me this. He isn't like every other kid out there and has some significant speech problems and sensory issues. I have to be flexible, I want to be flexible so that I can give my child what he needs when he needs it.

I think what I was trying to write about in my post are the thoughts that go on in my head and what I think goes on in the head of many vegan parents.

I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions about how you balance it all with your kids and living a vegan lifestyle- perhaps it could help many of us out who struggle. Thanks again!

I hear you, and your reasoning but when it comes down to it, you seem to be making excuses for your actions that you know are wrong. Being a vegan has nothing to do with fitting in I'm sorry to say. I think its actually quite the opposite you are different and people will always look at you as someone who doesnt fit in because you dont' and neither do I so maybe stop looking to fit in and be yourself change is not easy especially when you are in the severe minority trying to bring it about. Good luck and thanks for caring.
