[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So for all the “omg it’s so rude” people, if you need to shop for an item of clothing, and need to bring your kid along, do you automatically purchase them an item of clothing as well? [/quote]

That’s totally different though. Let’s not use the Starbucks example. Let’s use ice cream. If I’m going to the ice cream shop and getting myself an ice cream, I will get some for my kids. I think it is weird not to get them something. If I go to any food shop, I will get my kids some thing.

To me, those are treats.  I’m the pumpkin spice latte poster from a couple of pages ago so to me, Starbucks is a treat for everyone.

If I’m going to target to buy myself a pack of underwear, I don’t feel like I will need to buy my kids some too. They’re just not the same thing.

But if I was a daily Starbucks customer buying myself a regular cup of coffee and my kids came along with me, then I don’t think that would be rude or weird not to buy them something. In my opinion, and in my life, it’s a treat versus not a treat situation.
