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

If he's eating something he likes and the kids ask for a bite, he will very rarely say yes. It's really immature to me and I've told him this many times. They're toddlers just trying to explore the world around them and anytime they ask me I always say yes even if it's the first time I've eaten that day.
