Parents expecting people to pay for their kids activities. It's out of control.

I don't mind kids actually getting out and doing the work via door to door. I had to do the same for baseball growing up.
I don't mind selling super bowl squares, raffles etc. I've never done those but not offended by them either.
I pay for my kids stuff out of pocket, like since the dawn of time. I'm sure many of you are the same way.
Saw a new one this week, a mom doing an MLM claimed their kid is "hosting" an MLM "online party" for their activity and 100% of proceeds will pay for the costs.
Said kid is 6 or 7 years old.

Teams used to do carwashes and what not. Now they just beg on the corner of intersections like the homeless.

Tell the mom you want a different type of party in exchange for the money

I don’t mind fundraisers if it’s selling something or raffle
What I don’t like is the whole calendar thing where they ask you to pick a date and donate that much. So if it’s the 30th you donate $30….that’s dumb

I know a couple who makes over $250k. They are constantly asking for travel baseball donations and now have a Go Fund Me setup for their summer travel tournaments. Not sure why anyone would donate for that.

My son played in a game this year where “the parents don’t have to pay anything”…yea, all my son was supposed to do is sell every day of his calendar fundraiser. So the 5th of January is $5 and it gives you 5 chances to win, the 23rd is $23 and gives you…yea.
frick the dumb shite. My son got a hotel room for two nights, food and drinks for 3 days, a warm up suit, a jacket, shirts, shorts…whatever…still. Spendy football game…but we didn’t ask strangers to pay for it.

The football squares to pay for travel ball shite is out of control. I see that at least twice a week on Facebook.
Damn, if you want to be a travel baller at least pay for the shite yourself.

Making it to a travel ball world series every couple of weeks isn't cheap and little Braxton isn't going to make it to the majors if he grows up playing against local playground rec league competition.

I thought was gonna hate this thread, then found myself agreeing with the OP, and now I find myself wondering if this is a (probably _{very} inappropriate) chance for comedy

And yet……… those parents are paying $2 k house notes, $1200 10 year notes on SUVs, wearing designer clothing, going in debt for ATVs, bass boats and vacations. Clearly living beyond their means and expecting others to pay for this stuff.
I think fundraisers by selling a product like candy is fine.

We talking straight up donations or fundraising with an incentive to win something?? My daughters dance company typically does Jambalaya dinners or raffles.. with a large percentage of the proceeds going to her bill I'm selling what i can.. But I won't straight up donate money for absolutely nothing in return to some rando's travel ball team..

My complaint is with the parents doing fundraisers for Travel Ball. No point to that. I don’t mind the ones for local leagues or camps like Boy Scouts.

I was at a larger family gathering and 3 of my cousins kids were all going to a different world series and where all asking for money.
