I’m possibly very much overthinking this. Looking for thoughts from fellow parents on what they would want if their kids were doing door to door fundraising.

I’m so sick of bug guys and other soliciting. I’m ready to put up a sign, but I don’t want to discourage local kids. “No soliciting unless you’re selling Girl Scout Cookies” is a popular option, but I don’t want to exclude the kids sports teams and Boy Scouts, etc. I see options for “no soliciting / kids welcome” but is that creepy? (Like I said, I might be overthinking this.). I hesitate to go with “fundraisers welcome” because that could be the exception that swallows the rule, though I’m admittedly most concerned with keeping the free estimate people and the bug guys away.

Honestly having a great Mother’s Day, husband and kids are great. But I’m about to pour out 2 oz of pumped milk because the new girls in the church nursery didn’t realize it was ours. Mistakes happen, but I walked in and another kid was playing with the milk. Their response was “oh the kids were playing with it when we came in” - um, ok? And you thought a tube of white liquid was an ok toy?
