It is a little time consuming but so worth it. That way you can put "Shades of Gray" on it and not worry that someone can read it without you knowing. :)Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553254043644735815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-90871371862468398202012-06-15T11:55:49.734-06:002012-06-15T11:55:49.734-06:00We have strict rules about my iPhone.

My kids do not appreciate that I will not share my laptop or iPhone (iPhone possibly in emergency total boredom situations for my 6 yr old), but I love those things, and I don't want them broken, dropped, sticky, messy or not where I last left them. There are very few things we moms get to have as our own and I cherish mine...Jessica Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861658300112079021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-32476096870324009212012-06-15T08:32:28.148-06:002012-06-15T08:32:28.148-06:00I am SO with you on this one!

I don't want my kid playing with my phone only because I don't want it broken. Electronics are expensive! I will share food, pens, paper, all that stuff, but sometimes a mom just needs her own things.<br /><br />I am glad I am not the only one that hides some toys when other kids come over to play. Usually the expensive ones are hidden. :)Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959492917608331562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-89249029929646909732012-06-14T17:29:00.334-06:002012-06-14T17:29:00.334-06:00Oh, I hear ya!

It is an intelligent thing to do. You are also avoiding breakage and the resulting anger/sorrow. And mommy - you do not have to share "things" that are yours, just as a child may choose to do so.middle childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09805863175279915034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-57406495815423164522012-06-14T10:30:41.150-06:002012-06-14T10:30:41.150-06:00Of course you are not wrong!
