{warning - post contains fruit shoot content.}
just before xmas, in a soft play with my mate. her dd (nearly 3) asks me if she can have a drink, i say she better ask her mum. couple of minutes later, my mate comes over with her daughter and says her daughter has something to ask me. daughter then asks if she can have some of my dd's drink. my dd was fine, she shared, all ok. but i did think at time she should have got kid her own drink. and a bit weird to bring kid over to ask me.
yesterday, another soft play. just bought my kids each a small fruit shoot. i was away from table for a moment and when came back saw mate's dd quite upset. my mate says please can her daughter have a bit of one of my kids drinks. i say it better be dd's cause ds (19m) really attached to his. mate says my dd not in a sharing mood - she had asked my dd already, my dd has said no and then mate had asked me 
. is it me, or is that a teeny bit mental? then asked dd, and she shared her drink. incidentally, mate later bought a drink (yup, fruit shoot) and shared between all three kids. she doesn't have any objections to fruits shoots as such, but she never buys them or seems to have an alternative drink for her dd. my kids go mental for fruit shoots, only get them the once a week or so that we're in soft play or somewhere that sells them. they gulp 'em down in five seconds and love them.
am i being a bit crazy not to want my kids to feel like they have to share their drink? and like my mate her put me and her daughter in a bit of a strange position by not just getting her dd a drink?
