Birthday parties are supposed to be fun, right? Well, not always! When I threw a sleepover bash for my 10-year-old son, I had no idea it would turn into a veggie drama! One mom informed me her son was vegetarian, so I made sure to have plenty of meat-free options. But when I caught the little guy chowing down on a meat pie, I was faced with a dilemma – to intervene or not to intervene? The fallout that followed was nothing short of a birthday disaster!

So, there I was, trying to be the hostess with the mostest at my son’s birthday sleepover. I had all the bases covered – or so I thought! When one mom mentioned her son was vegetarian, I made sure to have plenty of veggie options. But then I caught the little guy red-handed, munching on a meat pie! I didn’t want to embarrass him, so I let it slide. Big mistake! The next day, his mom was fuming mad! Now, my sister thinks I’m the a-hole for not stopping him. But hey, I had veggie dishes galore and assumed he knew his own diet! Let’s see what the internet has to say about this meaty dilemma!
