The broken part cracks me up.</p> <p>But what about her crying because I'm using DH's iphone? "Baba's! Baba's! Baba's!!

There is a saying:<br /> "What's mine is mine, what's yours is mine, if it looks like mine it's mine, if it used to be mine it's mine."</p> <p>I respond with "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit." He doesn't quite understand but he will eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-and-possessiveness#post-1313143 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 10:38:38 +0000 looch 1313143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, my son is super possessive, but I think it's totally normal and developmentally appropriate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-and-possessiveness#post-1313131 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 10:37:18 +0000 Freckles 1313131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Haha, that's the thing. It's her flipping out when other people use things that aren't theirs. It's so weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-and-possessiveness#post-1313123 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 10:35:24 +0000 autumnlove 1313123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My toddler is possessive and everything is hers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-and-possessiveness#post-1313042 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 10:22:18 +0000 Freckles 1313042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if this is just regular toddler behaviour or what, but LO has this thing with possession. For instance, certain mugs will be used by DH and LO will keep saying "baba's tea" if i use his. When we go to a party and the host takes our coats, she will flip out because she thinks he is taking them away. I have to take her to where the coats are just to reassure her that they aren't going anywhere. She does this with menus at restaurants too. She gets upset if someone else is using something that's ours. </p> <p>Is this normal? It's not just her getting mad if people use her things (she's getting better at that) but if in general other people are using things don't belong to them. I sometimes worry it's the beginning of OCD! </p>
