[quote=Anonymous]WTH?  I can't believe people are saying this is fine.  It is not okay to eat an ice cream cone every single night.  That's absurd.  He doesn't need an ice cream cone every night, and neither does your DH (although if he wants to, it's his life, and he's an adult who can choose).

My eldest kid is 5 and very small for his age.  He's also an extremely picky eater.  We could give him ice cream every night, and he probably would eat it happily and gain more weight, but I don't feel that this is the point.  He needs to learn healthy eating habits, and the amount of sugar in ice cream is not something I want him having every night.  How large are these cones?

DH does not need to have a special bonding thing with his kid that involves food.  That sets up food issues for the future, in my opinion -- especially if it's the only way that they really bond and spend special time together.  If they want to have a dessert, serve fruit or freeze bananas and make into a "banana ice cream" (just frozen bananas, peanut butter, and maybe some mini chocolate chips in the blender).[/quote]
