How can I keep the wifes kids from playing with my mint condition star wars toys and mint hotwheels?




Zorro


I have an entire bedroom for my star wars toys and hot wheels that are in mint condition. They are quite valuable too, some of those toys have sold for upwards of $3 or $4 on ebay. The wife thinks that I am a big nerd for collecting toys, so I am certain that she purposely lets the kids in there to destroy my toys so she doesn't have to be ashamed of the toy room when her girl friends come over.
lol Faith, I dont know which is funnier

1. that you dont get the joke in the other question
2. that you wrote a book on a question you think is fake
3. that the question IS fake but not because I dont have kids...

LMAO, seriously Im not making fun of you though It just really strikes me as humorous.



Answer
I think you forget but not to long ago you wrote "I don't have any kids I just like the parenting section." You wrote it 3 days ago & thanks to Google I found it.

No kids, not problem.

Now if this was a real question I'd say your kids early on should have learned respect. Even when my kids were babies I'd knock on their door before entering and just say "Can mommy come in?" As little toddlers they learned to know on the door of someones room before entering. Plus it showed them I respected their room privacy too.

One of the biggest rules in our house is going into someone elses room and touching things. Drive my 16yr old NUTS if this happens. Yet she does it to her siblings at times too. lol But it is a big rule and we remind the kids of the rule when they break them and they lose something like video game time for the day. Often' it is a forgotten rule which can happen but kids need to respect other peoples privacy.

So these kids in the question above haven't learn that respect. Again if this was a real question I would suggest sitting the kids down and talking about their rooms. Ask one kid how they would feel if another sibling went into their room and touched their favorite toy, lamp or something they love. They would feel upset. Then tell them "Daddy, feels that way too. I have my room for my favorite things. I don't like someone going in there without asking first. Just the way you feel protective over your teddy bear collection I feel that way about my Star Wars & Hot Wheels. Please ask if you can look at them and I will go in with you."

Most likely the kids are fascinated by the large collection. Who doesn't love Star Wars? I grew up watching that. It's great and cool. I wasn't allowed the toys because my mom said they were for boys and I was a girl. (roll of eyes) Take the kids in there and talk about them. Watch the movie together. Bond & so on.

As for the wife again if this was real she should respect your hobbies while you respect hers. My husbands family love to hunt. I hate it. But I respect that and I don't talk down about it out of respect for my husband. My hobby is video games. He at times respects that. lol

All in all though like I said at the start. You have no kids so no problem. ; ) Enjoy the peace and quiet.

What are the popular Star Wars toys with kids these days?

So, my almost 6 year old boy is starting to get into Star Wars. I let him watch episode IV - A New Hope (he's going to watch them in the same order as they were released so 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3 so he can appreciate the older films)....anyway....my wife and I are starting our Christmas shopping already and wanted to get him some Star Wars stuff.

We just got him a Darth Maul light saber and the Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar, so check those off.

What else are today's kids playing with? I know when I was a kid, I had almost every Star Wars action figure and some of the play sets and ships. Thanks!



Answer
You should look into the new Star Wars Black Series. So far they have released two series in 6" and 3.75" like the ones seen here: http://www.lindseystoyroom.com/star-wars-black-series-3-3-4-inch-action-figures-wave-2-case-of-12/
The quality and detail is awesome. He can play with them now but they'll probably be worth a lot later on as they are very sought after.
