[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously I know there's no obligation to play with my kid.  My question is more about whether it is annoying when people bring their own toys to a toddler playground with the expectation that it is not going to be a distraction/object of interest for other kids.  For example, there are plenty of times that I have thought about bringing a toy to story time for my child, but I've always refrained because I don't want the toy to be an object of contention.

You are free to roll however you like. And you are free to make rules for your kid and his toys.

But you can't make rules for other people at the playground.

This is how it works:

1. You play with your kid.
2. Other parents play with their kids.
3. The playground equipment belongs to the community, and everyone must take turns.
4. Nobody must share their toys---they can choose to, but it's not required. 
5. Parents must control their own kids (and only their own kids) to make sure they aren't annoying others.

That's it.
