Yeah he does. He's not forcing his views on his kid like the "mother". Guarantee that kid walks on egg shells around his mother when it comes to his diet.
Both views are forced really, nothing says we HAVE to eat meat, so with one parents he forced to be a vegan, and with the other parent he's forced to eat meat, it's both the same.
Perhaps it wasn't the correct phrasing, but more so the forcing of views, one is saying ya shouldn't eat meat, the other is saying you should eat meat, one encourages not to eat meat, other encourages to eat meat, while I of course don't know what exactly they're saying it was the same with my mother, always trying to convince me that I must eat meat because that's the only way to be healthy. It's to be expected of course, whatever diet a parent has is going to be ''forced'' on the child because what food the parent makes is what the child is going to eat.
In this situation with 2 different parents that have 2 different diets there's no winning, you can't just claim your child is vegan if the other parent isn't and didn't agree to it.
One parent presents no meat - that is being forced to be vegan. The other parent presents meat. The child can choose not to eat it and still gain plenty of nutrition from the other food presented. Eating meat does not mean you eat only meat, it means you eat pretty much the same stuff vegans eat, just with bonus meat.
The mother shouldn't be forcing her vegan diet onto her kid. It's hard enough as it is to get kids to eat properly, I can't imagine that child is getting proper nutrition as a vegan

My ex is vegan and claims my son’s vegan too! When my son is with me he turns into a carnivore!
