[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you sound insufferable. I tell my boys, don’t bring the toy to the playground if you don’t want to share. If you do bring a toy, you must be open to sharing. Also, don’t take others’ toys without asking first. If they say no, you have to accept it.

We can’t control others, but I try to teach my kids to always err on the side of generosity. What if you have all the toys in the world but no friends?! Is this the type of world we want to create?

Just share, be generous, see other kids enjoy your toy and experience the good in life, together- in isolation.

So if you're not currently using your (watch/handbag/dress/car) then you won't mind if do, right? Doesn't matter if you don't know me, it's all in the spirit of sharing.  After all, you brought it into a public space.[/quote]

That’s a good job about pointing out the hypocrisy here.  It’s not as if parents in, say, n Arlington or Bethesda are into sharing anything they have.[/quote]

Now you are getting hyperbolic.  I would however always offer you to my wipes, extra snacks if your kids are interested (making usre with you that your kid doesn’t have allergies), and whatever may be easily shared. I also often let my friends borrow our things and donate.

If it is off limits, I don’t bring it out in public! But the idea that you promote  no sharing seems really selfish and not good for kids.

Yeah, tell them use it until their done but if they aren’t using it, let others use it! What is the harm??!![/quote]
