Don't let her touch you. Otherwise, she's just a standard jealous person. Pay her compliments to get her off of your back.

yes, she sounds annoying. some people need that competition to get themselves going. try to focus on the positive, on how you've been such a good role model!

Ironically while liberals in NYC wring their hands about stop-and-frisk, there are increasing calls in Chicago for CPD to adopt that tactic!

"It's time for Chicago to be proactive and courageous. New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Pittsburgh and Kansas City have all had success cutting their rates of gun crime with a strategy called stop-and-frisk." This is from an OpEd by Chicago's treasurer, published last month. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-03-01/opinion/ct-perspec-0301-frisk-20130301_1_gun-violence-illegal-guns-gun-buybacks

Here's the thing. If cpd would follow the damn rules, things would be a lot different here. If we don't have the stop and frisk laws, why do I see the cpd stopping and frisking people?

Do you ever stand up for yourself? Like every time she says something like this respond with the exact same retort like "I really like "x", I'm sure you would do things differently." Say the same damn thing every time so if she wants to make a comment, she's got to hear the retort. It will become like torture.

actually, there are many great lessons to learn by having toys there.sharing for one is an important lesson, or learning that you can't always get you want. Don't blame it on the other kids/parents. Why not get your dc some sandbox toys? We got our db some mini trucks and he loves them. sometimes he plays with his stuff and sometimes he plays with others. The good thing is he is learning how to share!

Kids really do need to learn not to touch other people's stuff. There are often balls, bubbles and bikes lying all over playgrounds and you're not entitled to help yourself. Same goes for a visit to the toy store.

It may be unpleasant, but it really is an important lesson so I welcome the opportunity to teach my kid, "That's not yours. You don't have to have EVERYTHING." Lesson #2, "I guess he doesn't want to share. That's no fun. We always share our toys so everyone can play. Oh well."

Learning not to touch other people or their stuff is an important life lesson. If your DC can't keep his hands off another kid's toy, he's not ready for the playground. What's next, you can't bring snacks to the playground if you don't intend to share them? It's one thing if your kid is on a playdate with mine (I would insist that my DS share if the primary objective was to play together with your kid), but if my DS is just hanging at the sandbox, he gets to play with his own toys.

when preparing for the playground we have always told our dd that if you don't want to share it, leave it at home. she either brought it and dealt with sharing or left it there. if you prepare them and let them make the choice, they will make their own determinations about what is playground friendly stuff.

Sandbox friendly toys - buckets, spades, basic trucks and diggers. Nothing that costs over $10 in my opinion. if you're bringing a $50 fire engine over - you better be prepared to share it.

You guys are nuts. Kids should work this stuff out with the help of parents (depending on age). Avoiding things isn't going to teach them anything. Kid with truck needs to learn to either share or calmly ask for his/her toy back. Kids with regular old sand pails need to know sometimes they don't get to play with everything. The end!

Why should other families give up playing with a toy simply because you cannot control your Ds? If my kid clipped out over a toy at the playground, I let them know that flipping out wont get them the toy. If they co tinue flipping out, WE LEAVE. And before you ask the inevitable " but why should I leave?" I'll tell you. Your kid is having the tantrum, your kid is unable to control their emotions, and they are having no fun anyways. Please stop thinking that other people should cater to how you want things done.
