He’s not sharing! A little girl at the playground I just met came to me to complain about my son not sharing his toys.

I used to tell him be prepared to share if he wants to bring his toys out (because his cries and screams triggered my anxiety) and he nodded in agreement.

“Can you share,” I asked my son and he shook his head.

“He doesn’t have to share if he don’t want to,” I told the girl.

“Fine! I’m not going to play with him anymore,” she stomped her feet.

“Ok bye,” I said.

Call me evil but treat this as a life lesson girl. You should learn you don’t get what you by complaining.

We’ve all heard of the term, “Sharing is caring.”

Who are you to demand he share and care about you?

Shall I be worried? Is this a sign of a selfish kid? He usually shares his toys with his usual playmates and cousins, not with this stranger gal so I think I am not cultivating a selfish behaviour.

Rather than making my son share when he doesn’t want, it is better to for him to learn how to negotiate and agree on terms like taking turns and taking over control because it is his property.

Dear son, don’t need to share if you don’t want to.

What happens when you have nothing left to give?

I bet those that willingly accept material things from you are superficial and they will be the first to leave you when you have nothing.

People may not like and appreciate you even if you give your all. It will only make you weak and appear like a pushover.

Good job. Learn how to say no.
