[quote=Anonymous]Please. A small ice cream with his father is not going to damage this child, nor is it going to set up unhealthy associations with food. Assuming that both parents engage with the child in other meaningful ways, I have a really hard time seeing how something like this is a problem.

My 7yo comes home from school during the week and has a small ice cream cup as a snack after school. It's her thing. It's either chocolate or vanilla, in the single serving cup. She eats it, she reads, she plays with her toys, and then we eat dinner as a family. That she has her little ice cream ritual after school hasn't made her averse to other food or spiked her sweet tooth or caused her to gain weight. It's literally the only sugary thing that she eats, and I don't think it's any more irresponsible than me having a vanilla latte at 10am with my colleague.

Some of y'all need to educate yourselves on how unhealthy relationships with food are formed. In this case, I'd strongly bet that the people freaking out about an ice cream are more likely to create unhealthy food associations in their children than the child's father with his ice cream treat.[/quote]
