....very trivial, not at all major, just a bit irritating habit of friend's child, how would you respond?

[FossilSister]

Whenever my friend brings her little boy over to play, he always comes and complains to me that my DD is not sharing. This usually means he wants what my DD is playing with. (They are both 3). His Mum waits for me to sort it. What would you do?

Very trivial, I know he's only a child. Tried all the obvious "Would you like this instead?" stuff. Just don't want to be constantly taking stuff off DD to give to him.

I suppose I'm asking "How do you stand up for your child without being rude to someone else's?"

Thanks.

Sharing goes both ways, perhaps he could bring along a special toy to share with your DD ?
