When a Kids' Lemonade Stand and Stoop Sale Doesn't Go Over Well With Some Folks in Brooklyn NY, Who Cares?

There are forums where all sorts of issues can be discussed for parents and caregivers in an area. On one such online group that serves about 4K people, a conflict that occurred drew 25 responses, mainly supportive. In a nutshell, a mom and a pregnant friend had a stoop sale on a block that seemed user-friendly and was within the customs they had practiced earlier in life.

Their kids set up a small lemonade stand and most folks enjoyed stopping by the stand and stoop sale. But not everyone. Someone in the building whose lawn was being used complained from on high, and then in person.

In case people are wondering if I am thinking of them and ideas to share at this hustling, bustling time of year, I am! How can we inspire each other without feeling expired? Getting to bed without thinking of too many more things to do whether caring for ourselves and others or finding ways to enjoy the holidays or the winter season (with or without snow even in the North East now...yet some predict lots of snow in February similar to last year in 2014 when Boston was snowed in for a week or more.)
