She Planned To Accommodate For Her Sister’s Vegan Diet At Her Gender Reveal Party, But Then Her Sister Changed Diets And Expected Her To Spend More Money On Food Alternatives Just Two Days Before, So She Refused
This twenty-four-year-old woman and her boyfriend are currently expecting their first child together. She is twenty-three weeks along right now, and even though the pregnancy was not planned, she and her boyfriend are prepared and excited.
They reportedly own a house together, both have stable incomes, and are ready to start their family together.
And she has wanted to do a gender reveal party with her close family and friends for a while now. But she and her boyfriend were waiting on her sister to get home from a trip.
Apparently, her parents are pretty well off, and when she and her sister graduated from college, they were both given a couple of thousand pounds to spend on a vacation of their choice.
And since her sister, who is twenty-two, recently graduated, she decided to go on a month-long yoga retreat in California.
So, while her sister was away, she and her boyfriend worked on planning the entire gender reveal event to take place one week after her sister got home.
“We have had everything planned to make it a fun celebration for us, especially because I have struggled with my mental health since I was a teenager, and we want to turn the pregnancy into a positive thing for me,” she recalled.
And while she was planning the event, she also made special accommodations for her sister. Apparently, her sister is very spiritual and ate a vegan diet– which she was more than happy to work around.
So, while her mother and her boyfriend’s dad planned to do a traditional barbecue in the garden, she planned to set up a separate cooker with only vegan hotdogs and burgers for her sister.

She and her boyfriend also got a big gender reveal cake but did not want to leave her sister out of dessert, either. In turn, she bought her sister a pack of vegan cupcakes she found.
Anyway, her sister apparently approved all of these special accommodations before she left for the month-long California trip. By the time her sister got home, though, everything apparently had changed.
First of all, she did not even hear from her sister for a few days after the yoga retreat because of jet lag. And by the time her sister reached out, it was just two days before the gender reveal party was set to take place.
During that text conversation, her sister also asked about all of the vegan food options again. So, she forwarded photos of the food her sister had previously agreed to and also sent over ingredient lists.
But to her surprise, her sister claimed to have picked up a new diet while she was at the retreat– which meant none of those foods were going to work.
“I’m not sure of all the details, but my sister no longer eats processed food and only eats from organic companies or from scratch,” she said.
And to be honest, she was kind of annoyed that she was going to have to run around and gather even more extra food just forty-eight hours before the party. Still, though, she did not want to leave her sister out of the celebration and asked what other kinds of food she could purchase instead of the vegan items.
Her sister ended up forwarding some photos of new food items, and she went to the store to check them out that afternoon. But she was totally shocked to find out just how expensive her sister’s food items were.
In fact, one bag of vegetable crisps, some burgers, and oat cookies was going to cost a whopping thirty-five pounds.
And after already spending hundreds of pounds on her gender reveal party, she just did not want to spend any more cash.
“So, I sent my sister a polite apologetic message saying that I would not be able to buy her the food she requested because it was out of our budget. But, I told my sister that she was more than welcome to bring her own food to the party,” she explained.
Unfortunately, though, her sister did not take the news well. Instead, her sister actually freaked out, called her rude names, and accused her of being a terrible sister for not taking into account her “dietary needs.”
And to be honest, she admits that her hormones were at an all-time high, and her sister’s comments really set off her anger. So, she ended up kind of telling her sister off.
“I messaged my sister back, saying that her new diet wasn’t my problem and that she should accept the food she already advised me to buy for her,” she vented.
After that, her sister ultimately just did not attend the party at all– which really upset her since she and her sister have always been super close.
Plus, since reflecting on how she spoke to her sister, she feels like she was pretty rude and honestly feels terrible about how everything went down. So now, she has been left wondering if telling her sister that her diet was not her problem was really a jerky thing to do.
Do you think not wanting to spend even more money on dietary alternatives was a reasonable concern? If her sister previously approved a bunch of other items and then changed diets, should her sister be responsible for bringing new food options to the party or not? If you had been in her shoes, would you have also gotten angry at your sister?
