Is it a 🚩🚩🚩 for you if your baby daddy won't share food with your kids?

Why would it be a red flag ?

If I don’t expect my kid to share everything then I’m not going to expect someone else to do so. Let’s say it’s his favorite meal, he shouldn’t have to share his favorite meal as I wouldn’t expect my child to share their favorite toy or something in my opinion

Nope. I don’t share my food with anyone.

I don't know about it being a red flag, but I would defo tell him to stop being a greedy fucker 🤣

Does a restaurant share food bc you’re hungry? No.

Not a red flag but a bit petty. Obviously not every meal but if toddlers would like to taste something new or be involved in a restaurant, who has the heart to deny them? 🥹 I’d literally give my daughter some food if it was the last thing I had! She’d try anything food wise and is very curious.

Depends what it is. If it’s not something I’m happy for her to have then I either don’t eat it in front of her, or give her something she can have while I have mine. I don’t want to set a precedent where every time my daughter demands a bite she gets one.

I find it a bit cringe for a parent not to share food with their children. Within reason, but to rarely or never share a bite with your own kids is so weird.

It'd be nice if he shared.

If my partner rarely said no then it wouldn't bother me when she did say no to sharing a taste of her food. But if 9 out 10 times they were saying no to my 22mth old asking for a bite... I would infact be very bothered. Telling a 3 or 4 year old that you don't want to share your food but would be happy to get a small plate for them wouldn't bother me. I wouldn't date someone in general who hated to share food or who when sharing ends up eating it all or most of it 🤣🤷🏾‍♀️.

I feel like if it’s ur child, u should share but I get there’s situations it’s inconvenient. Children always go first imo. Don’t kno if I’d say it was a red flag tho. Does he have a reason?

Really weird for so many here to be so greedy with little humans, especially the ones you made. Of course I don't always *want* to share my food but absolutely always will. No matter what. It's food and I will *never* weaponize or give food negative feelings. They're babes. Sharing is love, food is love. It's not time for a "we don't always have to share" lesson. I'd feed all the babies all my food.

I mean.. I don’t like to share my food lol so I wouldn’t blame him. But like every time he’s eating and they ask and he won’t budge? I’d feel bad for the kid.

Loool yh im not sharing my food either

I don’t like sharing food because I have a funny thing about someone else’s saliva like I will not bite/drink something again after someone else has touched it. I dunno why but I’ve always been this way lol But I will always share, they just need a seperate fork or I’ll pop it on a lil plate or a seperate cup

My husband doesn’t it drives me nuts that’s it’s only me but plenty of parents don’t share their food with their little ones

I only give my grandson food off my plate if we’re eating out to keep him quiet. I usually give him his own food before we go and take snacks for him but as he loves bread I’ll order a side of garlic bread and give him little bits of it. At home I eat before he gets up, while he’s having a nap and then after he goes to bed because he has set times he eats

I must be a red flag then, because I don't often share with my son if it's something I really like. If it's something I'm not too bothered about then sure, but chocolate ice cream or a nice piece of cake? Nope, look at your daddy, he'll let you have some. It's rare I say no though

It’s not a red flag to me. I don’t let my daughter eat my food because she’s whining. Some food, sure but I make spicy food so I don’t always share. Some people genuinely don’t like sharing their food but he can compromise sometimes.

Nahhhhh… I will boldly tell my boys to back up out of my plate! Trust if I’m eating food was given to them too. My kids aren’t forced to share anything but I also model the same boundaries so they learn not only to have them, but respect them. ESPECIALLY from a woman.

Although I share my food off my plate with my kid I wouldn't see it as a red flag unless the kids hadn't eaten or been served

Nope. My husband is very particular about food and also from a germ standpoint doesn't like sharing food. And he counts calories pretty closely. He will get the kids their own dish if they want something he has. But he doesn't typically share and I think that's okay. On the other hand I have no boundaries and these kids now think they can just grab the food off my plate 😭

@Nika yes!!! Boundaries. It’s not greedy to set boundaries around your food. It’s not weaponizing food to hold those boundaries. It’s not weird to set and hold boundaries about sharing your food. Just like it’s not weird if you do share your food with people.

My partner is extremely fussy with food and sharing, it took him months to share with me and even now it’s rare we share but I tell you now if our girl goes to him trying get his food he doesn’t bat an eyelid he instantly shares with her! Why would you deny your child sharing🤷🏼‍♀️

Is this a trauma thing I know my husband had food insecurity issues as a child and as an adult he struggles with sharing food ? Just wondering have you asked
