What's The Oddest Item Your DCK's Fight Over?

This:

Mine once fought over an imaginary ball. They'd been "throwing" it back and forth, and a child claimed to have caught it. The problem was, another child also said he'd caught it. It got ugly.

Kids!!

The Fisher Price Laugh and Learn car. I had to get rid of it. Kids were getting punched, bitten, hair pulled...I have never seen kids fight over something like they did over this dang thing. Even the big kids wanted to play with it, but the 2's and 3's were the ones out for blood. I had this for 2-3 years before it suddenly became the toy that they all HAD to have. Of course, when they came in and it was gone, no one even noticed!

Yes, it becomes a WWE Smackdown here some days over this darn car!

Every single day though it is the bottles for the baby dolls. I have enough for each child to have 1. All of them can be laying in the middle of the floor and they will all fight over the 1 someone happens to be holding at any given moment.

They're HOT commodities around here :confused:

Right now we have no coveted toys but it's the washing hands first issue here too. Along with who gets to open the gate to the play yard.

Until I had a change over of kiddos, it was bad though. It was never one item that was coveted; it was any item that they didn't have and someone else did. Or we'd be outside and they'd be fighting over who got to hold the worms/slugs/bugs they found.

LOL Yep, I can picture that happening!

A random red counting bear that happens to have a backpack. The rest do not, of course.

He's currently "missing". A missing poster was made. It's hung up in the art room.

That's brilliant!::

who gets to sit on number 6! We have a rug with 10 lilly pads. The number 6 is the one they argue over. I have aggressive little boys, this number has come to blows, scratches, missing hair ect. We now do group time at the lunch table!

My lap. Doesn't matter if a child is happily playing on the other side of the room, if they see me holding another child the tantrums (throw themselves on the floor, wailing and kicking the ground) ensue immediately. I have one DCG who will literally climb on top of another child (like foot to the face climbing) trying to get into my lap. Even my 5mth DCG has started screaming with outstretched arms if she sees me holding another child. It's ridiculous.

The little red fire truck. They do fine with the big one but the little one causes problems almost every day.

Who gets to wash their hands first.

Yaaas.

Also: The little plastic lawn chairs. I'm like, "Oh, I see. There are three kids who want chairs and only four chairs between you. No wonder you're fighting."

To be fair, only two of the chairs are pink. To be even more fair, they only fight over ONE of the pink chairs; the other is always left vacant.

[MomBoss]

A rug.
Lol

duplo blocks. I have two school buses full of them, and two smaller containers. There are enough to go around...but they don't believe me.

As for the going first for doing things, we have a rotation. Every day is someone's day....they're first for everything if it's their day. Washing hands, choosing a spot at the table, turning on the light after nap (this one is a HUGE deal here), everything that involves having a turn or choosing something. We go in order of the cubbies--they know whose day it will be tomorrow, the next day, and so on. It has solved a lot of problems.
