We have had meatless dinners for nearly a month now (with one exception of scallops, which my husband had after the kids went to bed)! Thanks to all for your support and to JulieS for giving me the kick in the behind I needed. I would love it if everyone would continue to share stories of how their families function with respect to McDougalling...whether here or in the "Spouses or Significant Others Share McDougall Lifestyle?" thread.
Wonderful. That is huge progress! You were so RIGHT when you said that your son is your husband's son, too. When I was a young mother, I too often forgot that and was extremely pushy with my parental ideas, which got us into many, many arguments, which isn't good for children to hear/observe either. Now we don't argue at all now that the kids are grown.
You're doing all the right things in my opinion!!
