A man sharing a food-based story on Reddit elicited opinions that one of his children was split up on social media sites.
“My (39m) wife (40F) and I have three children (10F, 8M, 7F),” the man said in a post that depicted over 3,500 reactions and over 1,200 comments in a short period of time.
“Our oldest had been appointed dentists a few afternoons. I agreed to take her while my wife was in caring for the other two,” he wrote on the platform.

“Our oldest has always struggled with dentists,” he confessed.
He said he and his wife were “working with her about this,” and managed to find “really good people to the kids who are afraid to go to the dentist.”

Dad said his daughter said, “It really worked out this time – [it was] It makes the smoothest experience we've ever had and easy,” he added.
So, “She did so well, so I decided to reward her on the way home.”

It meant taking her for a sweet treat, he showed.
I had a problem when my dad and daughter returned home.
“I went to Culver's drive-thru and bought her a shake,” he wrote.
The high-speed casual restaurant is headquartered in Prairie Ducak, Wisconsin.

He wrote that his dad also bought a shake for himself.
The problem arises when Dad and daughter meet the rest of the family.
“When we got home, my other two kids started complaining that they didn't get ice cream.
“This was how things worked.”
Dad said, “This is how things work today, my sister has to do something uncomfortable, but she had to do a good job, and she had to take either of them for something similar next time.”

However, this didn't sit well with my wife and mom.
“Later,” Dad wrote.
“My wife told me she thought I looked like I was playing my favorite,” the man (not in the photo) wrote on Reddit about a family drama that included a special treat for children. (istock)
She added, “Of course the other two kids would oppose it and I should have bought a snack for everyone.”
But Dad said he didn't agree.

“I don't think it's okay for kids to understand that just because one child gets something doesn't mean they have to do all the time.”
“You got one for yourself too, so you should have probably gone out and finished the shake.”
He then asked the others if they were wrong about what he did. This is a question that drew a lot of comments on social media platforms.
“You probably should have gone outside and finished the shake because you got one for yourself…and not just the kids.”
“If I'm bringing snacks home, I'll get something for the other kids too,” one wrote on Reddit in response to his father's family dilemma. (Silas Stein/Picture Alliance by Getty Images)
“I'm in conflict,” another wrote. “I [understand] Celebrate the snack. But why take it home? It's pretty obvious that it causes problems,” added the person.
Another commenter said, “You'll stop and grab snacks and meals with one child on a regular basis after booking, but you'll eat there. If you take it home, you'll get something for the other kids as well.

“I thought everyone did this. It's the standard operating procedure for having multiple kids.”
Another commenter wrote, “My eldest son deserved a treat, but eating it in front of other children is rude and seeking trouble.”

Still another was taking this advice: “I will definitely get your logic, but your child will be on the younger side and not necessarily see the world that way. Next time, I'll finish the shaking before I go home and dispose of the evidence to make sure there's no dust.”
Another weighed in “rookie movements.”
