When I first opened, I had a couple of kids that would bring them back and forth every day. I wouldn't have cared except if they got forgotten at home, the whining was unbearable! And after the third evening visit from a parent coming at 8 pm to pick up a forgotten blankie, I said, that's enough. They either stay here or at home. No more back and forth.

Though I do want to say, they were never allowed to have them around the house. Too much drama with the sharing and not sharing and "she's touching my ...!!" So no toys from home, except the blankies that stay in their bed. The only exception is on p.j. days when they all have a stuffed animal. That usually goes over better as they can play all together with them.
