[quote=Anonymous]Went to a playground yesterday and there were 3 brothers. Each brought a toy, and adamantly refused to share.

My 2 year old picked up a random, bright pink ball. A kid (age 4?)  across the mulch, grabs it from his hands.  “THAT IS MY BALL.” Kid puts the ball to the side and runs off without it. My son cries, I comfort him and he moves on. Ball is grabbed again by another kid, and the owner runs back and screams again.

Two other boys, age 5ish and 2ish, are playing with a remote control cars. ALL of the kids are chasing the cars. They’re cool! Kids are begging for a turn. The boys keep saying “it’s mine, it’s special, leave it alone, it’s mine!” Kids all look both excited and defeated. My 3.5 year old is begging for a turn to see it and I direct him elsewhere. The younger one with the remote control car keeps dropping it and running away and then someone takes it (of course) and the kid comes running back screaming for the car.

This goes on and on. Kids with the toys (car and ball) are all the playground, not in one place. The mom just says “it is his special toy and he doesn’t have to share” (I over hear this, I don’t ask her).[/quote]
