He won't eat anything but vegetarian...
He won't eat anything but vegetarian. I have tried to adjust when he visits and cook vegetarian. I don't always buy organic, which he prefers, because it is so expensive. But the restaurants don't use all organic ingredients either. Neither does the couple he lives with and works for on their organic farm. Did I mention that he is 24 yrs old?

Um, NO F'in way. If he
Um, NO F'in way. If he wants to eat in your home he can eat what is served.
The nerve of some idiots is beyond me.
Good luck with this one.

24 years old?!?!?!?! cook
24 years old?!?!?!?! cook your own f'ing food. and for that matter cook it too. What the F???
Yea, and when he does get his
Yea, and when he does get his dad to buy all the expensive food at the health food store. He leaves a f'ing mess and insists on using my Caphilon cookware with no non-stick coating so all the rice, oats and s_it he makes stick to it. He also refuses to use dish washing detergent. Ultimately, I thought it was easier for me to cook to avoid the mess and double work it creates for me...but no more. I'm moving into the library...
We just moved into a new
We just moved into a new house (new to us old really 1962). Small kitchen, I told fdh, sd11 will NOT be cooking her f'ing soup in the kitchen. Because 99.9 percent of the time I am the one that has to clean the mess she makes. I would say to this 24yo, get a wife, cause I am not her. Get a life and get the hell out of my kitchen unless you can clean up after yourself. Time for you to get pots and pans of your own and deal with it - the mess you make with your perfect food.
No, no, no, not easier to make the food yourself...you are killing yourself. Get out of the kitchen. Let dh deal with the mess or his kids. ugh!!! biggest petpeev is the kitchen messes, can't stand it. then #2 is the bath room dirty underwear pointing up at you like a ....
You could suggest that he
You could suggest that he bring the ingredients and you all cook together... that might be nice. All three of my sisters and my little brother have been veg heads since the oldest of them was 11 years old (theyre now 18, 18, 17 and 13). it really stressed my mom out at first and when they come to visit us it is hard on us, too (we're carnivores lol). They can all have this snotty little attitude about it; my 17 year old sister likes to go into detail about how many roaches are statistically ground into my non-organic morning coffee at oohh 7 am. Dh usually quells that by taking a bite out of a big old hot dog right in front of them and telling them that the dead baby pig sure tastes good LOL... all in good humor, of course. I'm sorry, i understand it can be a strain. Organic mac and cheese costs $2 a box at our grocery, mix it up with a $1 can of diced tomatoes and green peppers, a $2 head of lettuce to make salad and some rolls... thats what i usually do and they can live with my $5 veggie improv dinner LOL. good luck with your arrogant veg head - ive been making fun of my four snotty little veg heads for years to no avail :).
As a vegetarian myself, I can
As a vegetarian myself, I can certainly understand not wanting to eat meat. However, 24 is just a year younger than I am. When I go to someone's home for dinner I ask if I can bring a vegetarian dish to share so the host won't be put out by my restrictive diet. When I eat at my mom's house with her boyfriend they eat meat or fish at every meal, but they also always have non-meat sides, and I simply fill up my plate with those.
Um, wow. Vegetarian is one
Um, wow. Vegetarian is one thing, and that's fine, but what a primadonna to act like it should be you and his dad's responsibility to shell out for and clean up after his preferences. He can get a job and buy his own organic produce and cookware if it's so important to him. There's no reason why a 24 year old can't provide those things for himself, especially if it's something that he's clearly so serious about.
One of my girls went through
One of my girls went through a phase when she said she was "vegetarian". Whatever. I didn't cook anything special. I pretty much always cook a meat, a couple of vegetables, some kind of starch, and a salad....either fruit salad or green salad. If she didn't want to eat the meat, there were plenty of other things she could eat.
She decided she didn't want to be a vegetarian anymore the first night I grilled steak. I think she lasted a little over a week. I told her that if God had wanted us to be vegetarians, He wouldn't have made meat taste so good!
It makes my blood boil too!
It makes my blood boil too! I was on my own at 21 and had to fend for myself, build my own household and I had a pretty nicely appointed kitchen by the time I was 27. I didn't marry until I was 41, so wedding gifts were not the reason, I had to get everything I needed on my own, which makes it that much more painful to have someone take my things for granted!
I can tell this is a hot
I can tell this is a hot button for many of us...Life is very busy and cooking is about what works best for the person who is responsible. Having pans, utensils and dishes disappear is a major headache and inconvenience (we have a stove and fridge in the basement kitchen that he takes over when he visits, lots of my gadgets and much used items end up there). Your daughter has a mature and respectful attitude. I believe I will not be cooking while he stays with us. Our meals together will be at restaurants and the fridge will be stocked with cold cuts, bread and cheese for sandwiches. He can prepare his own meals and also not be "forced" to sit down and eat with us. I hate to do this to DH, but he needs to understand my frustration and work with me on this. After all, SS is not a child and although he has the maturity level of one, I don't have to accept it.
I don't see this as any
I don't see this as any different from dealing with picky eaters. At our table you have two choices every night..."Take it or Leave it". I don't make special meals. I don't accommodate picky eaters. And I don't really care whether they eat or not.
