Girls at my job stay having babies. Then there is someone asking for donations to do the baby shower.

How else will Traylinn and Bradlie get their new bats and a trip to a totally meaningless tournament in Florida?
Meaningless? They have the rare opportunity to play in 3 state championships, several regional championships, and a minimum of 4 national championship tournaments this season.

Just got hit up for money by my coworker for her grandkids baseball program. Some type of raffle. A few months ago it was a discount card for football. Then a raffle for 7v7 football. And before that some type of gun raffle for underwater basket weaving.
Door to door in the office asking for money
It was about that time that I noticed my coworker was about 8 stories tall and a crustacean from the ptotozoic era.

I’ll support sports but the “missionaries” raising money to go to places like the Netherlands and Japan really bug me. No, I’m not gonna fund your international vacation to a first world country.

Youth sports are ridiculous and it’s the parents that make it suck

Convince me that your kids’ travel baseball team isn’t a for-profit operation For a couple of guys, and maybe I’ll consider donating….

Youth sports were pretty fun all in all. Lots of hotel rooms in random small towns, but it was fun to spend that time together as a family. Kids generally blossom with support.

Stop being a bitch
That $5.00 isn't going to change your life.

You pay for it! If parents can’t pay for the expenses related to the sport then don’t play them or curtail the participation to a scale that is affordable.
It's normally not the parents needing the money, it's the team. If the team isn't financially viable, why does it exist? Is this for team expenses, or supplementing the team owners lifestyle? I have a cousin who is doing this, and couldn't give me a straight answer on where the money goes. Seems like a modified pyramid scheme, where you constantly lie to parents telling them they have these talented clams that need to be improved to a pearl, and the only way is to bankroll a team at all costs. No one asks to see financials. Heads in the sand, because this kid that can't even tie their own shoes is my ticket out of this.

We need government mandated, you only get one baby shower. After that...you've been through this, you know what to do, you don't need free shite.

Usually just give them $5 as a donation and wish them well.

I thought it was Braxton?

If it's a raffle for some guns or booze, I'm in.
If it's buying some crap like popcorn or an upside-down tomato plant, I'm out.
There were so many people selling shite at my previous job, I quit giving altogether. If everybody would quit buying all the raffle tickets and bullshite, then everybody would have the money to just pay for their kids' hobbies.

We have a signup sheet in break areas every couple of months. It’s usually got a QR code for electronic payment or tells you who to drop the money off to if you want to participate.
Going door to door is a pretty shitty thing to do if you’re constantly asking people to donate.
