Dayhome moms with their own kids..

[playfelt]

Especially after christmas or birthdays the toys my kids got were their private play things but they also played with them in private either in their rooms which were off limits to daycare kids regardless of age or in the rest of the house in the evenings. Over time they could choose to add them to the daycare space but then it meant they were available to everyone. At the same it was a privilege my child could resind such as if a toy was being abused they could move it back to their room at the end of the day and not bring it back out.

My kids also keep "their toys" up in their rooms, and if they bring them down they know they need to share. Same with the dck if they bring toys, they share them. The one problem I have is that I have 3 girls who love strollers, I have 3 strollers, of course #1 is a bit more elaborate than the others (the back pushes up etc) the 2nd is pink (nuff said right there) with a hood, the 3rd is an umbrella stroller. Well, the fights over thes flippin' strollers are insane, so I instituted a rotation, now I am pesterd all day by who's turn it is to have stroller #1, all day!! Confirming whos turn it is, who had it yesterday, when it will be someone elses turn....over and over and over again, all day long. So I'm getting 2 more umbrella strollers and the coveted #1 and #2 pink hood stroller is going away, for my own sanity!!! LOL!
