What would you do? Random kid showed up and set up a lemonade stand on our lawn

I live in a neighborhood where kids do lemonade stands all the time. Even on a decent November day. So I believe this could happen.

I think OP did the right thing. I’d be really annoyed that it was making the dog bark.

I think it’s nice that you gave $. It wasn’t the kids fault their parent told them to have a stand on private property.

In this sue-happy culture? No way I'm letting a kid that I don't know set up on my property.

The mom completely overstepped but you do kind of sound insane.

I get it initially the feeling that’s not right to set up in someone’s yard.

The mom you dealt with is totally in the wrong

No judgment on you OP
But when I give it a second thought and try to look at it differently - I try not to be like my mom would be. My mom would get really worked up & be all “THE NERVE” and go on & on. But if let things like this go she’d be so much happier & make others happy.

I wouldn’t have worried about the kid, the traffic etc - it good old fashioned fun entrepreneurialism.
