Does anyone have experience selling baby teeth? My first has their first loose tooth and I was thinking as an alternative to the tooth fairy, it could be a fun, educational experience to involve them in selling it and they keep that money. I know it’s legal, has anyone looked into this?

I’ll just leave that baby teeth obviously still have your child’s DNA on them, and I would seriously question what kind of person would buy them, if not an academic institution.

Solid, more conventional entrepreneurial starts include selling lemonade, selling candy, making bracelets, putting a gum ball machine in businesses, etc.

Do with that what you will.

Honestly as simple as it seems 😂. It’s basically a vending machine model — you buy a gumball machine (costs are pretty low), and approach local businesses to see if someone would be willing to let you place it in their business. Could offer them revenue sharing (as a kiddo I’d hope they might be more amenable). Target businesses with high foot traffic.

Depending on the age of the kiddo you can teach them about break evens, capital outlays, etc., etc. Good lesson in maintenance requirements of businesses too.

I’m sorry, what exactly is the lesson here? That they should sell their body parts for money?

I think it’s weird. There are so many people who take advantage of children. I feel like those that want baby teeth probably are not looking out for kids.

Im so glad everyone shares the same opinion. Baby teeth are sacred just like keeping some of their hair from their haircut or their little hospital bracelet when they first come home. Idk im very particular about access to my LO and we're at that stage where we're exploring entrepreneurial activities and selling teeth isnt an opinion.

My kid is really into selling his old clothes, he wants a lemonade stand, selling candy, selling Pokémon packs, and selling his artwork. Yeah he's not making a killing but he's enjoying the fact that he's making money. Please don't sell your kids baby teeth, this bringing an unnecessary risk to your kid.

Why not “sell” to the tooth fairy? Isn’t that essentially what the tooth fairy is?

Shockingly enough, after reading this post, I found articles on Google that mention selling teeth and people talking about it on Reddit. Although extremely weird (unless being sold for science/research), this is not rage bait, and a small number of parents actually think like this.

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
