[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never go to an establishment and buy something for myself and not allow my kids to get something, too. It works for us and if your way works for you, that's cool.[/quote]

We had a nanny who would do this regularly.  Once we found out about it, we fired her on the spot - and it wasn't even Starbucks.

I think it is selfish (Starbucks or not) OP. Since you asked. [/quote]

Your poor nanny. “Fired her on the spot” for not buying your child and unnecessary treat every time she tries to make her day infinitesimally better by getting herself something. I’m guessing you also taught your child that respecting their nanny is optional.[/quote]

NP. Regularly purchasing something to eat or drink, and not offering the person with you some is really rude. And yes, it’s rude even if it’s your child. Or the child you nanny for.

If I stop at Starbucks for a drink (or anywhere else), and my kids are with me, I absolutely ask them if they want something. And yes, if I am at the grocery store, and my kids happen to be with me, I ask if they want to pick something out.

For the people saying no, if your spouse or friend was in the car, would you offer them something?[/quote]

If you happened to be out with your kids and their nanny, would you treat the nanny to something?[/quote]

DP here, but of course.  This doesn't even seem like a question. I mean, I can sort of understand the debate for the kids, but for a nanny?  Yes, without hesitation.
