Not single but friends bring their kids over to play with my collection.

I’ve never had friends bring their kids over to “play” with my collection. They
have brought them over to look though. Perhaps since I’ve long said “That when I
have kids, they will have their own, seperate collections”, it was clear I
didn’t want kids messing up my sorted bins.

I have a few rules the kids have to follow.
1)No taking apart anything that is already built.
2)If you are not sure were to put something away, leave it out.
3)Anything electronic (mindstorms, motors, trains ect) requires my presence
at least to set up and explain.
Apart from that they have free reign. They usually make a huge mess but
have a great time. As long as they don’t mess up what I already have
sorted, putting away what they pulled out is easy.

I guess if all they wanted to do was play with the unsorted parts, I’d be pretty
ok with that. Huh.

To further this discussion about being single and an AFOL, does your chosen
hobby impact on your dating life? Are you concerned about prospective dates
finding out that you ‘still play with LEGO’? Has a dating relationship ended
due to your hobby? I’ve used the statement, “If a woman is not going to date
me because of the vehicle I drive, then that’s a woman I wouldn’t want to
date.” Much like LEGO--she doesn’t have to sit with me in the basement and
build stuff, but if she doesn’t accept the idea that I like to create with
LEGO, and makes an issue of it, well, eh, I’ve been single before :)

I picked up my lego hobby in while dating a girl, who I ended up marrying. And
yes, my wife knows that I could have worse hobbies.
