I wasn't sure where to put this, but, my neice sent this to me today (she has a two-year old, and a baby), and apparently, the two-year old is just a tad jealous.
What do you mean "Property laws of a Toddler"?? Those are the rules in MY house and I`m alot older than that. Dont touch MY stuff unless you are taking it in for repair or cleaning with it. Leave MY stuff where I left it so I can find it again. If its in MY purse,,,then it USED to be yours. Just because you paid for it means nothing, It`s still MINE!! However,,if you feel you have an opinion on this matter you may have MINE!!
That's similar to what I used to tell my kids - if I want your opinion, I will give it to you.
My niece is a pushover with her little ones - my great-neice (her first baby, the two year old) is just a sweetie, but VERY opinionated, and, she got to be the "only" one for awhile, so - she is spoiled. (a tad).
She was thrilled to think she was going to have a baby sister, and then, a few weeks ago, decided that her baby sister could go back home, now.
(she even tried to pack her bag!!!)
I love to see our offspring dealing with offspring of their own - payback is a............baby sister!!!!!
Boy, that must be a universal thing with kids. When my granddaughter Gabriella was two, she said 'mine' so much that I finally told her that word was banned in my house and I would bust her butt if she used it again. Worked too, or else she grew out of it.
I found out some time back (about a week after I married Kathy)
the community property thing everyone talks about (within reason) when you get married really is a joke.
She explained it to me quite simply stating ...
"What's mine is mine, and what's yours ... is mine."
