[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You have to start as you want to continue. Is this just one kid with one lemonade stand? Sure, but it is a precedent. That may not matter, but it also may drag you into the world of "but you let jeff do it last week" and "he was so excited to come back this year, since he had such a good time last year."[/b] You don't yell, and you don't get overly emotional and brittle. You just are clear and firm that no, this is private property, and it's not happening here -- right from the go. But you can offer to help them move to a park, or a city plot, or something if you want to be nice. Just. Not. Here. [/quote] This is nuts (also, a good description of the domino theory, the basis of US foreign policy in southeast Asia in the later part of the 20th century that was a disaster . . . but I digress). I am not going through my life trying to suss out the unintended consequences of allowing a kid to set up a lemonade stand. Get a grip. [/quote]
