[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

The movement of "no sharing" came from the notion that "Share!" basically meant giving what you are playing with to someone else. I do not think that is "sharing".

The problems with these various scenes were
1. Kid wasn't even playing with the ball. He just didn't want anyone else playing with it.

2. You shouldn't bring a cool, new toy like a remote control car to the playground if don't want anyone to see it. I'm not saying you have to hand over the control to my kid, but your kid shouldn't be shouting NO IT IS MINE to everyone. [/quote]

You are very wrong.  A child should not have to share. If your kid breaks the toy, will you replace it?  They are personal toys.  If someone asks to use your phone, is that community property as it’s at the park and will you say yes?[/quote]

If you are concerned about your phone being broken, then you don't leave it lying in the middle of play area. If you do, I'd probably pick it up and look through it to see who lost it, because I'd assume it was an accident and you wanted to be reunited with it.  If you then attacked me for touching "your phone" you'd be an asshole.  [/quote]

No, you are holding it and using it.  A child walks over demanding it and by the standards here, you should jus hand it over.  Its no different than a toy or bike so hand it over.  Most of us don't leave toys or bikes laying around and are watching them but kids still just walk up and think they can take them. Its not ok and poor parenting.  Just like the cheap parents who will not buy their kids a phone and just expect adults or friends to let the kids use theirs if they need to call their parents.[/quote]
