What things do you do when your parent/s come over to help you out?

That sure is nice of your mom to help you out like that, my mom is the same way as she always wants to help people. When my parents come over, I can usually find something that I'd like my dads opinion on ( things to do with building as this is what he enjoys to do). I honestly don't feel like he's coming over to be put to work, he actually enjoys this sort of thing as a hobby so it works out nice that we can visit and be productive at the same time.

It is so great that your mom comes over to visit. With me it's the other way around I go over and visit my mom and help her out. Now before your mom gets there I would have done your research and figure out what you're looking for at the garage sale. I would also have all the yard sales addresses written down and go to the ones that are closest to you. Let your mom know that you want to go to a few yard sales this morning and you'd love to take her along. She could help you pick out stuff or you could send her to one while you go to another one. I use to always involve my mom with all my yard sales, estate sales and thrift store shopping. I even had her one time sit in a chair and go over all the clothes that I had picked out and set aside all the ones that had defects that I might have overlooked. I also had my mom help me set things up and I had her put clothes on the maniquin so I could take pictures. Mom just loves to help. Hey mom would you mind coming over and helping me take pictures so I can put them online? She'd probably jump at the opportunity and it would save you time and with time you can put more on. It's all about volume. I have sold online for ten years and also have sold at swap meets to supplement my income and it is alot of fun especially when you find a pinchicho machine or a navigator for a boat and pick it up for $5.00 or on a movie projector that the bulb actually works or some dinner plates that you can get $10.00 a piece for. Thrift stores are good too especially if you go on a Monday and get things for $1.00 and sell it for $15.00 or more.

I would make a plan that includes her, while being productive during the visit. Make it fun, explain to her your situation and needs for the day. I would make a plan like; when she arrives spend about ten minutes catching up, and communicate your concerns, While shes doing the dishes gather up a list of garage sales to go to. Get her interested in your online money making ideas and enlighten her to whats hot online and most profitable, let her know what to look for while you guys are at these garage sales. I hope this helps!
