I have a 7 and 5 year old and we've done Halloween for the last 3 years (it wasn't even a 'thing' in Australia until about then) and I love dressing up to walk around the block with them! If it's not too hot, that is. I don't get given any choccies, but that's cool, because the boys share theirs :) - MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-81448045910792606652015-10-11T18:43:58.174-05:002015-10-11T18:43:58.174-05:00I don't participate in trick or treating any m...I don't participate in trick or treating any more. 90% of those that show up are greedy and surly. I have been asked if I have any soda, if they could use my phone, did I have any other kind of candy (they didn't like what I gave them) and my favorite was " Can I have some for my brother, he's sick" The "big boys " showed up later, and only grunted and held out their hands. When I realized that I was scared to not give them anything, I decided to boycott Halloween. Maybe it has to do with living in an urban area, but I leave my lights off.Sop832https://www.blogger.com/profile/01042476575670880128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-73065581247035824772015-10-11T16:22:23.086-05:002015-10-11T16:22:23.086-05:00If someone said something to my kid, they better b...If someone said something to my kid, they better be prepared to get something back from me. Having a child heart is fantastic! My teen comes trick or treating in costume, with manners to be a part of it with his younger brother. No need for the crap candy bowl, or "aren't you too old" remarks. If you're not a good sport about Halloween don't participate.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537509935807921262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-10162444933305588742014-10-15T13:02:46.848-05:002014-10-15T13:02:46.848-05:00Why be crabby?

We could dress up to take younger kids or to go to Halloween dances/parties or hand out candy, though. This is something my partner and I disagree on, as I intend to enforce that rule with our kids and he doesn't think there should be a cut off. We have a few years before it becomes an issue though, so we'll see how that goes!Brandyn Blazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364919826813976813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-63641065526432400172014-10-15T12:23:35.065-05:002014-10-15T12:23:35.065-05:00This year, I'm answering the door dressed as C...This year, I'm answering the door dressed as Chris Hansen from To Catch A Predator to discourage the 18 plus trick or treaters from mingling with the kid trick or treaters.<br /><br />terribledad.wordpress.commrainey82https://www.blogger.com/profile/12742162086515948754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-51895252552279382032014-10-15T12:14:59.325-05:002014-10-15T12:14:59.325-05:00TOTALLY agree with the statement that as long as t...TOTALLY agree with the statement that as long as they are polite, say Trick or Treat and 'thank you' I'll give them candy.

Also, anyone with a kid, whether in costume or not, gets candy from the good bowl.

Wanting to continue the tradition, I used to do that as well at my house... until I had a couple years in a row of kids asking if they could have two (YES! TWO!), coming back for a second or third round, and telling me "don't you have anything besides Snickers? I don't like those" when I had ran out of any other options. I was appalled at the lack of manners, especially when their parents were standing right there next to them and not correcting them. Now I give out mini tootsie pops and skittles - and oddly, I get more pleases and thank yous than I ever did when I did full sized candies. That being said, I don't have a problem with the older kids as long as they are respectful. But usually they come out at the end of the evening when I'm almost out of candy anyway, so that pretty much solves the problem for me - lights out.Shinianenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15340969239524875329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-47060441905930109422014-10-15T07:44:12.578-05:002014-10-15T07:44:12.578-05:00I trick-or-treated well into my teens and even onc...I trick-or-treated well into my teens and even once or twice after I entered my 20s. I'd love to keep going out and trick-or-treat my way through Halloween however, I just don't have the time and hey someone has to man the candy bowl or the kids just snatch and grab. But I make it a point to dress up each year. And I like to have two bowls too for the polite and the not so polite kids.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348525413200453691noreply@blogger.com
