It's annoying, isn't it? I have been eating this way since Easter, and my family *still* doesn't get the hang of things. Atleast with my parents, I don't have to worry about insulting them, but going over to my BF's house to eat can be a nightmare. I always wind up eating something I can't to not hurt his mom's feelings. I explained to her what I can/can't eat, but she understands that I can't eat an egg, but doesn't understand that I can't eat a cake with egg in it. And they are Italian, so they get insulted if you turn something down! My family it is considered ladylike to turn down food.
I already told my BF that I just can't wait to see how awkward Thanksgiving is, especially cause I have since become a vegetarian. He says he will tell them, but I am alreayd prepared for disaster!
just hang in there, hopefully people will catch on after awhile!
