She won't share with me.
It had my name on it.
Oh, the exclamations of Christmas afternoon when the wonders of unwrapping presents and the sugar-highs have worn off.
How do you handle toy ownership in your house?
Our house rule is pretty simple: It is yours and yours alone for 1 full day.
This generally equals the holiday/birthday on which the toy was given and the following day. After that, all bets are off and sharing rules are enforced.
Another useful thing we do in our house is, in addition to individual Christmas gifts, we also give one or two "all kids" gift that is specifically intended to be used by all the children (ex: board games, books, coloring books).
May the odds be ever in your favor.
