Do you think that its rude for neither parent to stay home to hand out candy?

some of you PPs are bat-sh*t crazy. The ages when parents accompany their children trick-or-treating don't last forever, eventually today's parents with toddlers will be tomorrow's parents with teens and they will be home "paying it forward" and handing out candy to tomorrow's toddlers. Enjoy Halloween out your little ones as a whole family, if that's what you wish to do! Leave a bowl or shut off your lights -- you have plenty of years ahead of you to hand out candy.

Why can't they parents take turns with the kids?

b/c they want to be out together as a family and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

We go to a party every year on Halloween, it never even occurred to me to have someone stay home,

Lady, you are the one who is batshit. Guess what? My mom never took us in all our years trick or treating. My dad and she stayed home and gave out candy. You will never believe what happened? We all lived. Without this precious, shared, family memory. Snif sniff. Schnookums.

Exactly, my parents didn't take me like that either. I think people these days are crazy.
OP your kid is not royalty.

Op, I hope your whole neighborhood is filled with parents roaming around with their kids, and no one home to give out candy anywhere. That would be awesome. What a precious memory, and your dc's first lesson into the concept of "free riders." Go for it, and report back and let us know how it goes.

Op - I feel like some one is posting over and over being a jerk.

Go, have fun, leave a bowl. Don't over think it.

Did I miss the part where we were talking about your mom? Talk about thinking the world revolves around you. OP wants to be out with the whole family, which is what I was responding to. I never said all families MUST celebrate Halloween together as a family, nor did I say anything about this being a "precious, shared, family, memory." Weirdo.

Of course my personal world revolves around my family and my kids. I've personally handed out bucket loads of candy for years and years. And I love to do it.
Many houses on the other hand have their lights turned off and are not participating, and not because they are out and about, but because they don't want to.
It is preposterous and rude of you to think that you will not survive without candy from our house, or because someone might have taken all the candy from the bowl we are leaving out.

We both planned to go, but it was only when reading other halloween posts did it occur to me that it might be rude. No, i am not intentionally trying to be a jerk, i was honestly asking. Sure I figured when my youngest was 3 or 4, one parent would start to stay home, but right now we have a toddler old enough to understand that he wants to dress up trick or treat with his siblings, but not old enough to walk long distances and up tall front door steps without being picked up frequently. I honestly thought it was okay, our neighbors know we have toddlers, but am realizing maybe its not okay. really i dont understand the need for the hostility here.

+1 It kind of sounds like there is a teenager or mentally off person posting over and over.

Ok, then go for it, op . Why did you even bother asking our opinion if you did not already have a feeling that it was not kosher?

Because mom is a princess that can't miss a single second of spending time with precious.
It's all about her and she prefers they all go out as a family.
To hell with the other kids out there.
Because I like staying home and handing out candy to your kid.

I can't believe you've taken passing out candy to the level of self-righteous martyrdom. I don't usually "omg" but OMG get a grip!

Ok I get it now, are op and the troll the same person? is this sock puppeting?
