What no one has mentioned about raising a vegan child

I'm the kind of mom that doesn't freak out when my kids eat cheese at Grandma's house, or ice cream at Grandpa's house, or eat the meat that is served at big family dinners, or even help Grandpa consume all the Christmas treats he brings home from the office. All of that is considered, to me and my little family, "sometimes" food. I can't do it anymore.

First my 18-month-old had about a 4 day episode. It started with throwing-up everywhere, the moved to diaharrea. Several days later my 4-year-old started the same episode. Nothing else accompanied it; no fevers, no chills, just no appetite. My husband and I decided that it must be the animal products they've consumed; much larger quantities than normal for an extended period of time. The baby has been vegan since the day I started table food and must have a much lower tolerance.

Lesson learned: I must still act in my children's behalf and put a cap on quantities they can eat, or at least remind them how sick they will get and let them choose for themselves. I hope this helps any other moms out there like me.
