Mb wasn't a fan of the play date too many electronic and plastic toys also thy use the word no and make the kids share she thinks that should be optional so I'm interviewing Saturday with another family but even if I don't get it I will still probably give notice this week or next week

Umm, I hate Plastic and electronic toys, there are other words to say other than "no" and ways to promote sharing without forcing a child to do it.

I prefer simple wooden toys, books, art projects and sensory tables. I use the word "don"t" or "stop" while redirecting and explaining something. I rarely use "no." You can explain how nice sharing is, explain that it makes other ppl happy and that when they are done playing with a toy they must allow another child a turn. I also firmly believe some toys don't need to be shared, like a special lovey or teddy bear.

I think it's great you are looking for an alternative position since you don't have the same parenting views as your MB. Good luck.

There is nothing wrong with the occasional no. It is only an issue when that is the only word a child hears.
