Things or friends I am sad and tired now. I have spent today evening with my and friend's children. Our children are friends too. They were playing with each other for six years, since our older kids were one year old. Of course sometimes they quarrel but their rows never were too serious but not today. My son brought a toy phone to the walk. His friend wanted to play with it too, but my son didn't allow. I do not approve such behavior, I think that it is like teasing. Usually I ask children not to take toys which they want to play alone and try to show how interesting joint games are. My son put the phone on the table. Then his friend took the phone and showed it to my son. I think that was a bad thing too. I think that each person should respect others and not to take other people's things without permission. The situation was not serious but children's reactions were. They yelled that they are no friends now and tried to fight and broke things. Now I think if there is a proper system of values in the world. I tell my son that people are more important than things and that the best things in the life actually are not things. It is right for me and for some people I respect but is it right for all people? I know people who don't try to have good relationship and some of them are pretty happy. It seems that I have a mess in my head. I asked my son to think about what is the most important things for him. I want him to have his own system of values but I am going to continue meeting him with my values.
