[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hummm... isn't it the GIRLS responsibility to deliver this stuff? It is her organization and its about teaching her responsibility. Why is the father on the hook? IF the girl doesn't do it right then its a learning experience for her. I really think all the cookiemomsters are missing the whole point of Girlscouts. They treat it like it is their social club and taking over the work the children are intended to do. Kids don't learn anything if they are not the ones doing the activity. too often the girls simply get carried around while the parents do the activity for them.[/quote]

The cookies aren't free and real money is paid for them.  The cookie sales are a fun learning opportunity for the girls - but it is an [b]adult supervised [/b]learning opportunity. [/quote]

Key word "supervised" not done for them by the adults. Again, cookiemomster improperly blames the husband. I remember when I was a kid doing these sorts of fund raisers. I remember one time there was a mistake with the order. I was terrified to go to that house and explain what happened. It was such a big deal to me as an 8 year old. My parents didn't do it for me. The school didn't do it for me. I had to go there and ask the woman if she wanted to accept the stuff even though the order was wrong. She said no. I had to work it out with the school myself. My parents were not involved at all. I delivered the stuff using my bike.

Why the heck are you parents even involved in this stuff. You children are learning nothing.[/quote]
