[quote=Anonymous]I think it's rude. If you're out with people, you don't unilaterally decide to get coffee and disregard the other people's opinions (and teenagers definitely fit this category). I get it that you're still a mom, but you'll be getting that same treatment from them later in life. Really, following your logic, you should take the 5 minutes at home to make your own coffee and not waste $4 at Starbucks on burned coffee in a logo paper cup. But I don't think that Starbucks coffee is strictly a necessity for you. And if it's a treat, you should in some ways recognize it with your kids. You can give them options: treat now or later, only get items under X price or with X amount of sugar, but you should treat them as beings with agency, rather than obedient automatons. It doesn't make them spoiled. I think on the contrary.[/quote]
