Parenting often brings tough decisions, but when morals and personal beliefs clash with teenage independence, the stakes feel even higher. My husband and I adopted a vegan lifestyle years ago, and while we’ve never forced our kids to follow our path, we’ve held firm to one rule—our home remains a vegan space. Recently, however, this rule has turned into a battleground, and I’m starting to wonder if we’ve gone too far or if our kids are simply rebelling against boundaries.
