So... My older daughter is selling bracelets at the small seaside town we are staying at. She made them for like 10 months. First day we are here, we set up their "stand" and 10 minutes in, the municipal worker says we can't do it, as the people owning the actual stands are protesting as it's eating into their profits. An 11 year old selling bracelets made from clay beads is eating into their profits. The guy says it is "actionable". And threatens me with child protection services, as I am "exploiting my child". If anything, she is exploiting me (I pay for all the materials, she gets to keep all the profits (and by profits, I mean, 100 eur per year)). 3 days later, we set up a small stand for her, off the beaten path. She made 4 sales in an hour, and is absolutely glooming. Fuck the system. I won't do what you tell me.
