[quote=Anonymous]1-they shouldn't have brought it. The playground is an oversized tot lot, not really a "park". Might have been more convenient for them to come there than the park, but bringing your private toys to a play area for very young kids is annoying bc young kids are going to be interested.

Dear OP,

If the tot lot is for 0-3 and you think the kid is around 3 than they are allowed to be there.  It is a public park then people are allowed to play with their own toys and not want to share.  Think of it this way, what if you have two children and they brought a checkers or chess set and only want to play with each other at the park.  Would you deny them that fun?

We  have "shared" our scooter once and the kid broke it on purpose!  Unfortunately, my brother said sure go ahead and play with it when the kid asked to play with my daughter's scooter.  I watched her break it and was too shocked to say anything.   Last time we said yes to sharing our personal scooter.

I know kids are different but how would you like it if you had a new iphone and someone demanded it because you ought to share.  Admit it, you were wrong and you should not be angry with the Dad for doing something completely normal with his kid.  Your kid is your problem.  Entertain him yourself and bring your own toy![/quote]
