Rudey and James....
I am not trying to be politically correct nor am I reacting to the spate of abductions that occurred over the summer when I say that anyone who lets their children sell door to door needs his/her head examined.
Back when I was a kid, it was okay to sell door to door because we knew everyone in our neighborhood. The houses in the neighborhood I grew up in are 40+ years old and most of them STILL have the original families in them.
Now, however, I live on a street where I know most of the people to say hi to but I couldn't tell you most of their last names or what they do for a living. So, I sure wouldn't allow my kids to go up to their doors to try and sell them things.
I freely admit that concern for my childrens' well-being and safety is the overriding concern in my life, and no one has the right to judge decisions I make regarding what I allow and don't allow them to do.
That said, you both know I luv ya!
