If you get Starbucks with your kids present, do you always buy Starbucks for your kids?

Sometimes I do, but sometimes I just want to spend less than $5 & get my coffee. I wouldn't get food with them in the car without offering to get them food, but Starbucks - sometimes I just don't want to spend $20. So I tell them they're free to buy their own if they want Starbucks too. Thoughts?

Nope. Sounds fine to me.

Yes

We sometimes get them something, but definitely not always.

[Anonymous]

No. I would never order food or drink for myself without ordering something for my kids. That's horrifyingly rude.

Ouch. You treat yourself but not your kids because you do not want to spend that much? Then don’t get yourself one. Pretty sad to be honest with you.

Killer dumb question.

Not a dumb question, because it adds up. Sometimes I buy for my kids, sometimes I tell them they can pay with their own money if they want one. Sometimes I get something for myself and make them a treat at home.

I kind of feel the same way. But my kids are old enough that they are just buying their own sometimes. And sometimes they treat me.

I always buy them some and even now that they are in college, they are free to use my app (and they do)

+1

And I also offer one if I have a friend or someone else in the car.

Yes I do and if were out and they want to stop and buy something they ask me if I would like anything. Heck even if were st home and they run out and buy food/drink they ask if anybody needs/wants anything.

I would never go to an establishment and buy something for myself and not allow my kids to get something, too. It works for us and if your way works for you, that's cool.

I think it’s rude. I wouldn’t go to a drive through or stop by any restaurant with my kids and not offer to buy them something if I was getting a drink for myself. It wouldn’t be a free for all and they could get anything they wanted but I would at least offer to get them a drink too. If their friends were there, I would also offer to buy them a drink.

Why are you going to Starbucks with your kids but only buying for yourself? Skip it.
