To want to punch this grannie in the face

We go to a stay and play every Thursday morning, usual thing toys for 90 mins then a few songs with instruments to finish the session. Every single wk this boy a year older than my son dives in the box and pulls out the 1 accordion. My son every wk wants ago on this instrument, the boy claims it. Then drops it to run off and play else where. His nan knows how much my son wants ago on it but she holds it out of reach from my son. It's so cruel his little lip drops. I would never let my child hog a toy wk in and out. Makes my blood boil !

Just ask politely for it, rather than punch her in the face.

Why don't you just ask for it?

Have you asked her if your son can play with it?

I don't think punching is advisable.

Why haven't you asked her for it if her child isn't playing with it?

Maybe you need to grow a pair!

Yes...ask.

Otherwise don't be so unpleasant. If you can't bring yourself politely, it may be a salutory lesson for your son that you can't have exactly what you want when you want it in lige, however much you pull your 'woe is me' face.

Put your hand out, as if you expect to receive it, and ask her to pass it to you.

Why not just politely ask her if your son may have a turn?

Can't you ask her in a friendly voice if your dc can have the toy now that hers has finished with it?

Read the OP, people. debbie1412 only wants to punch granny in the face, she hasn't said she will actually do it. (Saves debbie posting this in ten minutes time)

If the nan is holding it when her grandson is playing, why don't you just ask her for it? Confused .

Can't you or your DS just pick it up when the other boy 'drops it to run off and play elsewhere.' Confused

If he drops it, why can't you just use it then?

You've got 90 minutes to locate said accordion before music time, and secrete it about your person.

As an extra touch of flair, you could whip it out and use it to make that Wah Wah Wah Wahhh tune when they look about them, puzzled and sad that its not in the box

Dropkick the rancid old bitch to the ground and wrestle it from her.

Or just ask politely if your son can take a turn now.
