Man alive, if there's one thing I'd recommend cheating on in this game, even if you like to try to play games "clean" like I do, is to hike Emma's relationship up to 35 after you meet her properly (i.e., after Kelly tells you to drop her name and you start earning $50 per lawn mowing instead of $25)
I don't mind a little grinding, but over 8 weeks before anything can get moving with her is a bit excessive, not to mention it stalls everything at home until you have access to her living room. I'd have put the lemonade and pool cleaning job offer at slightly lower relationship values. Unless I'm just blind and missing some other way to raise her relationship before she begins inviting you in.
