[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Starbucks is a treat because it's not a necessity (like groceries, or meals at mealtime).  I would get my kid something at Starbucks but I might put parameters on it.  Like maybe they can get a small tea but not a XXL milkshake.[/quote]

It’s a necessity if I’m out and didn’t have time to make coffee this am.

I’m getting coffee. No your not getting anything.[/quote]

Agree.  Me getting black coffee doesn’t entitle my kids to a milk shake and chocolate croissant[/quote]

Why are people jumping from "I'd get my kids something" to "I'd have to get them anything they want from the menu."?

I don't drink coffee, but if I was stopping for a cup of something that seems to cost about $2.00 to 3.00.  I wouldn't think twice about telling my kids they each have a budget of $2.00 or $3.00 and they need to pick from a list of things I think are relatively healthy.  So, a cake pop or a cookie to eat with water or a tall steamed milk with a little vanilla (that was my kids' go to for a long time) or chocolate syrup, or a tall refresher made with extra water.

The idea that if you say "yes you can have something" means you have to let them have whatever size of whatever thing they want is a little weird.  [/quote]
