I have to draw my own conclusions.
I have been vegetarian for almost 2 years. I turn 19 this weekend. My older brother is a chef and offered to make my birthday meal. I’ve usually helped my mom make my birthday meal in the past, but I asked my brother if he had anything in mind to make or if he wanted me to pick something for him to make.
He said he wanted to make a lasagna, which is one of his specialities. I asked him what he would use to make it vegetarian. He said he wouldn’t, he would make his classic meat lasagna. I reminded him I didn’t eat meat and he said yeah he was going to make me a separate dish of pasta and marinara sauce. So he basically wanted to make dinner for everyone else on my birthday and just throw something else together for me.
I eat separate meals from my family because of my diet 95% of the time. I shouldn’t have to on my birthday, in my opinion. I told him thanks but no thanks and that I saw his offer to “make my birthday dinner.” As a slap in the face. He got all huffy and said I never appreciated him trying to do something nice. My mom agrees with me but told me I should’ve been nicer in turning him down and just said “mom and I have it covered.”
AITA? I really don’t understand how making a big elaborate birthday meal the birthday person can’t even eat is a nice gesture.
EDIT
I’ve been reading through as many of these comments as I can. Honestly now that I have had time to calm down I think everyone saying NTA or ESH but I could have handled it better is correct. I was just absolutely floored and upset in the moment because I felt like my brother was trying to exclude me from my own birthday. He hardly makes lasagna because he works so much so Idek maybe he thought this was a good opportunity even though obviously it was not.
Iwant to get better at asserting myself in 2020 (it’s my new year’s resolution) but I don’t need to be unkind about it. Maybe other people don’t agree but if I was going to offer to make someone dinner for their birthday, I would want to make their favourite meal. It’s why my mom and I go out for dinner on her birthday - her favourite meal is fish and chips which I don’t feel comfortable making myself as a vegetarian but I can damn well each fries and salad while she gets her favourite dinner on her birthday.
I still don’t know what we’re doing for dinner on Sunday when we celebrate or if there’ll even be one at this point, but I appreciate the input regardless. “No” is a complete sentence. I should have stopped there.
It was a long two years, but he turned himself around

I have to head off now, but I want to thank you for a warm welcome and great questions!

Neither have eye.
Look who’s grounded now, mom.
The Bucks lost to the Lakers in a heated affair tonight. Looks like all's not alright in the Antetokounmpo camp.
