Just the title but here's what prompted me to ask:

My mom is coming to visit and even tho I've made it clear I don't like non-vegan products in my house she pushes for me to let her have at least milk for her coffee. Last time she came with my brother they got something with meat delivered because I was in bed puking my guts out. When talking soon after me going vegan she said her pregnancy state felt super good so surely the cows aren't suffering that much... etc...

So I've thought of a great way to fight that back non-confrontationally and helping her understand: in order to bring a product in she has to watch a video with me. I'm hoping to watch a whole documentary during her visit but I think shorter videos would be more feasible.

Speaking of, I have never watched a whole documentary or in a very long time, didn't need them, if you had to choose one which would you choose?

Thank you, no worries, all good. She did brought meat into my house without thinking much about it despite me having asked them to please don't do that, their logic was that I wasn't going to be in the room with them; but she also goes way out of her way to buy me a lot of vegan food before I even land when I go visit, she makes sure there's always appropriate food available for me, she willingly goes to vegan restaurants to make me happy even tho a couple we have gone to in the past have been terrible, and does/has done many many other things for me. She is not perfect but she tries, I owe to that woman everything that I have and am today, and I'm personally tired on how quick the internet is to tell strangers to cut off their family members without knowing anything about them but one paragraph.
