I have a bit of a two-pronged issue, exacerbated by the school holidays.
How do you cope with your own children having toys they want to play with but are still special to them and so they don't want mindees sharing them? I am feeling really mean making my 6yr old ds play in his room as he wants to play with his new transformer, when he has let me persuade him to share with lo's (4yrs and 3yrs) they have pulled bits off by accident (clipped back together). I find this really hard to deal with at it is still his home and he wants to play near me and his brother and sister.
Also they have a Nintendo Wii which they want to play with but as the controllers are so expensive i will not let lo's use it. However lo's are here 8-6 every day and my youngest goes to bed at 7 so again I feel mean telling them they cant play with it as lo's will want to join in.
I also have issue with mindees bringing own toys from home and not wanting to share them. If they will not share they must put them on the shelf to take home later.
Any advice welcome.........
