My biggest regret ? hmmm.. maybe letting my mom and sister bully  me into thinking i was to old.
Granted i managed to save my ponies, my childhood heard for all their spots and dirt sit proudly with the rest of my
collection.
It still hurts tho, and there are times when you still feel it.

Snagged on line a while ago.. just NOW Getting the head band ponies here.. they are so pretty tho!!

I dunno about this but here goes...
Personally... I love kids. I baby sit for the neighbor's little girl Miss Ellie and she is fine and dandy.
She's usually too awestruck by my collection to actually wanna play and mostly is just like @@.
She is totally a sweet child and if she asked i would let her see them because I know she is very gentle
and respectful.
I've even let the lil booger borrow my EAH and Star Darling books. (Her mom was over the moon over this cus the lil monster wasnt much of a reader until i handed her something she liked.. Hehe she is now eyeballing my star wars books while i grin evily as i get another EU convert!) And she took very good care of them.. not a scratch or a stain any where.
So i know kids can be trusted with collections if they are raised right by their parents. I've known miss ellies father since i was a kid and he is a great guy, so i know she has had the best of raising.
then there were my sisters DEMON spawn.
Back in 2010..my sister got kicked out of her apparment in daytona florida. My mom was still alive at that point as as with always... she gave into my sister.
Next thing i know... my sister, her husband, and their monsters are sleeping on the living room floor( at this point its still my parents house.. But i had moved back home after my dad's open heart and when her cancer started coming back to help out).
Now at the time i had not started collecting ponies yet.. but i did still collect transformers.. and had left my knock off leo breaker on MY desk down stairs.  Mom snatched him up off the desk and the next thing i know my poor leo is in about 200 pieces on the floor.
Then a few days later(it was near christmas) the kids got into their christmas presents early.. and got into mine as well.. Why mom left them down stairs i will never know... but i come around the corner and they are into theirs already and the powerglide i had asked for was again.. all over the floor in about 200 bits.
The next day my brother in law got mad at me and proceeded to inform his and my sisters children that their "Greedy" aunt had a whole toy collection up stairs  just for the taking.
I put my foot down and informed my mom.. either you put a lock on my loft this instant.. or you and dad can fend for your selves with these yahoos.
I was never able to repair my poor leobreaker but was able to save my power glide.
And all the while that vile man my sister shared her life with would use the Excuse "But Rose they ARE TOYS.. they ARE made to be played with".
Maybe they are... but these children were violently destructive.
and their idea of "Play" was "lets see how quickly we can dismantle said thing".
So while i am all for gentle kids enjoying my collections with me.. there have to be limits.
Saying something is "a toy" and is "made to be played with" are often excuses people come up with to allow their demon spawn free issue to destroy what ever suits them.
I think there need to be limits.. and when those l imits are passed there need to be reactions other wise things get out of hand and people get hurt.
