[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple years back my mom got involved with an mlm company. She was pretty evangelical about it for a while but I had no problem telling her I wasn't interested. I occasionally buy stuff from her but not regularly. Anyway she has asked me in the past to host a party for her and invite my friends. I demurred but she's been pushing harder lately. I just don't know how to tell her how I feel about it. On the one hand I would do anything for my mom, but not this. I don't know. Am I wrong? She gets very prickly. And has invested too much effort to about face and drop the whole thing. Bonus points if you can give me advice to help her ease out of it.  [/quote]

Depends on wehat she is selling....and why not? I would tell her I will do this one time, invite your friends who will either come or not. And i would tell my friends, this is a favor to my mom, don't feel obligated to come. This is her hobby/ way to earn a little money, there are worse things. My FIL retired. He needed a hobby, and found church involvement. Now it is all he does and talks about...MLM of Jesus.[/quote]
