[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]sorry, but I am not talking about a swing.  I am talking about a toy.  That said, I would not give up my childs  swing time for someone else.  Too damn bad.  I will get off the swing when my child is tired of swinging.  I hate when parents, nannies hang around like a hyenna for something we are doing, swinging, sand box toys, whatever.  GO AWAY!  
Hover over some other toy.  Bring your own toy if it bothers you that your child can not take what mine is playing with.  I don't let mine take yours either.  Should we share the snacks too.  That is so annoying, as soon as you bring out a snack, SOME of the kids drool over your child.  Why should that not be fair game too.  Whats mine is mine, and whats yours is mine too.  No way would I teach my child that.[/quote]

I agree about snacks, but do not agree about swings and toys. But kids can be really mean - they know when some other kid wants the toy in their possession and they will hold on to it just to torture the other kid. Not teaching your child to share just teaches him/her that it is ok to torture other kids, doesn't teach them empathy or kindness. You can at least make an effort, tell your child that other kid wants a turn and he will be very happy if you let him swing a little. I do not take away toys from my kids when they are playing with it, but I point out that the other kid really wants it and when you done with it, please let him have it. Between my 2 children this situation comes up often, if I went with "mine is mine" philosophy, there would never be a peace in our house.
