[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds like something my daughter would have suggested (who is 8 now and has been like this forever).  She wants to sell things in front of our house EVERYDAY. I can only squash the entrepreneurial spirit so much, so occasionally I acquiesce and let things happen. I don't usually feel comfortable with grifting neighbors, but on the plus side, she earned $244 this school year.

Sometimes parents have to let their kids try out ridiculous ideas.  This one sounds kind of fun.  [/quote]

My kid is like this too but there are still schemes I say no to and this would be one of them.  Playing with younger kids on the playground is part of being a good neighbor just like helping our elderly neighbors we don’t charge for that.  I would instead say they could set up a lemonade stand there.[/quote]

Lemonade stands are unlicensed, untaxed and undercut legitimate businesses. Let’s not get carried away critiquing the “businesses” here. [/quote]
