First of all kudos to all the girls that actually go out with their parent(s) and sell to friends, neighbors or others. and Shame on you to the parents who sell for their daughters. What is this teaching them? certainly not responsibility and look at the wasted time you could be spending with your daughter. I was a girl scout in MOntana and I had to do my own selling. NONE of this going to my parents to get their help. I learned responsibility, about money and valued the organization I belong to more. Now as an adult working in an office I would NOT buy any cookies from co-workers and not even the boss. Shame on the girls who give product sheets to parents with the hopes they don't have to sell anything; that their parents will. This is learning nothing and furthermore lazy! And if parents have their children involved in so many things they don't have time to sell cookies even, then maybe they should re-evaluate their children's time. Quality vs quantity.
