I can understand not wanting to pay a kid for lawn work, I've been broke before. Just say no thank you and go on with life.
That being said, we hire kids in our neighborhood all the time.
We have two girls (9 and 6, I think, never met them, grandma drives and "supervises") who come pick up dog poop, and we've had a kid for a couple years who turned mowing yards in the summer into an LLC and he just hired his first employee to help out with client growth.
I know if he wasn't a white blonde kid who looks halway decent (long hair, which just makes me jealous, but boomers would have a fit) then the Karen's would call the cops.
Someone in the neighborhood called the cops about a black woman going through mailboxes. It was a postal worker, in uniform, in a clearly labeled mail truck. I just don't get it.
I get it. I wish I didn't, but I get it.
