I've been wondering about this myself. As my children get older it will no longer
be possible to quietly "absorb" the Legos they get into my collection. Therefore,
there must be some ground rules established before they leave the house. My Legos
are staying with me. They are my hobby, and I've spent a lot of time (and money)
getting to the point where I can build what I want most of the time. So when
they're old enough to realize it, the Legos that are "theirs" (through their own
purchases and gifts, etc.) will have to stay separate from "mine". That may sound
greedy, but they'll have to learn sometime that their father is a selfish,
small-minded little man looking after his own best interests :)
