[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I only get drip or unsweetened iced coffees with milk. I’m happy to order my kids those…but they are disinterested. They prefer $6 iced matchas with oat milk and so forth.

So no, I don’t order them a drink every time I get a coffee.

And they’re ok! Your kids will be ok too! It’s rather alarming to see so many parents willing to buy their children awful beverages just so they don’t feel “sad.”[/quote]

Agreed. I mean, I very rarely go to starbucks or similar so I've never actually been in this situation. But if I were to be the kind of person who grabbed a black coffee or a tea while out running errands, then no I would not always buy my kids what amounts to a milkshake or super rich hot chocolate. These things are desserts. If they want a small refresher or plain iced tea, I would get them that.

There are lots and lots and lots of times that I grab them fast food and don't partake myself. We don't all need to ingest the same treats every time one person wants one. [/quote]

And to follow up as an example. Last night my teenager got McDonald's after a sports event that happened right over dinner time. I did not offer it (as a meal or as a small treat) to my younger son who had the opportunity to have dinner at home, even though we did all ride home from the game together. [/quote]

Ok and? did your child ask and you said "no Larlo, only Larlo Sr gets McDonald's, you had an opportunity to eat at home." To me, that's weird. I would've offered and who knows, maybe the child would've declined. [/quote]
