Stepmom refuses to accommodate stepdaughter's 'weird' new diet.

When this stepmom is annoyed, she asks Reddit:&quot;AITA for refusing to accommodate my stepdaughters new diet?&quot; I (25) have two children (5, one on the way) with my husband, my husband has a daughter (12) we&rsquo;ve got 60/40 custody.  In our household we have a few dietary restrictions; my son doesn&rsquo;t like certain textures/smells, my husband is dairy intolerant/gluten intolerant as well as not liking certain foods due to texture or smells (I&rsquo;m not even allowed fish, noodles or mushrooms in the house) as well as currently there&rsquo;s a few foods that make me nauseated.  It&rsquo;s not picky eating for my son, he has global delay, his teachers are trying to get us help for a diagnosis for autism.  My stepdaughter has recently wanted to go vegan, at her mothers she&rsquo;s 100% accommodated but it&rsquo;s easier there since it&rsquo;s just those two.  I tried, I asked my stepdaughter and her mother for food recommendations, I&rsquo;ve googled recipes etc and I&rsquo;ve even just cut out the middle man and got frozen things but each time I&rsquo;ve tried either my son and husband didn&rsquo;t like, or isn&rsquo;t something I feel she can eat daily as my husband has said frozen foods are limited to once/twice a week.  So I told my stepdaughter those twice a week we can either make a separate meal together or frozen, but it isn&rsquo;t ideal for me to cook two different meals every night when I then work nights and it isn&rsquo;t affordable in the long term.  Husband said I&rsquo;m giving up too early, making custody harder etc and stepdaughter has taken to giving me the silent treatment&hellip;  An example would be tonights dinner; steak, broccoli and new potatoes - only one meal, I don&rsquo;t eat steak so I just had some broccoli because when I don&rsquo;t like something I just have the side, like when we had hotdogs I had some onions in a roll.  I know it&rsquo;ll come up that my husband can cook, he tends to overseas on things to the point where it&rsquo;s overbearingly salty or nobody but my husband likes it. AITA?
