I completely participated in sticker club. I had my child although only 3 be completely involved he picked the stickers we discussed who they were for ((another little boy who would be so happy to be getting his letter (a picture he colored) and the stickers)) and put them in the envelope and walked to the mailbox together to mail them. I talked about how postage worked as we walked (down the road). I never mentioned him getting anything back. Not only because I wasn’t sure that he would but because that part shouldn’t matter as much as doing something nice for someone else. See what a lot of you other mothers missed… that sent out some stickers to person 1 and moved on with your life, is that this was supposed to be about your kids and other kids. And it’s fine for you to choose to not send out the letter… but did you make it an experience for you kids anyway. Or did you choose to ignore their involvement or did you choose to teach them it’s better not to participate since it’s likely you won’t get anything back??

@floreska it BREAKS my heart that your 6 yr old daughter would think “why would I want to send stickers to someone I don’t know” My answer would have been.. to make their day! It’s a kid asking for stickers not a grown person asking for hundreds of dollars. I hope your child didn’t go trick or treating and accept candy from lots of people she doesn’t know. I find that MUCH more dangerous.

I participated, my child participated and we both had a good time. We had no expectations and more importantly we had no cynicism. It’s harmless. Sometimes you just need to get over yourself and stop making everything so serious.

@Renee - Haha! Totally! Trust me folks, it’s a lot easier for these non existent sticker club stalker perverts to just go down the street and stalk little kids.. they don’t have to drive to different cities to find them just cause they have your kids address.

Chain letter YES, Ponzi Scheme POSSIBLY, or Club NO!!! This has caused me so much stress being that I know how I felt when I read it and I just don’t want to make another mom feel that way. I would rather be carving pumpkins or roasting marsh mellows or collecting fall leaves or sending a letter to a soldier but instead I must find 6 names and send it in 6 days before the mail runs at 6 o’clock, get my point pure hell!!! I don’t recall signing my child up. And schools should send parents a letter letting them know that this has started yet again. This is not a good thing although it comes off as cute and harmless. If nothing else the post office has seen a pick up in mail delivery!!! I mailed the letter but I put sticker club in the from: so that parents would know up front that this was not just a cute letter from a neighborhood child but a ploy to have you wondering and possibly feeling guilty. What would happen if the chain is broken? from here on out if a letter comes to my child and I was not notified prior by email then it will be RETURNED TO SENDER!!!

I am so glad I found this site!!! It really helped me decide what to do with the letter my kids received from their cousin. I sent both kids a pack of stickers and passed a copy of the blank letter along to the person in the number 1 spot and explained who we recieved the letter from and that although we are not participating the could if they chose. We also sent a thank you note to the kid”s cousin, told them that we are not participating adding the pack of stickers.
This is just what I decided and I feel much better now.

Talk about paranoia- who cares if someone has your child’s address? What are they going to do with it? I highly doubt someone is going to decide to stalk a child based on an address. Oooooooooooo- a child lives at that address- a child who’s in the sticker club!!!

I love that the first thing you think of is referencing Dazed and Confused.
