Some teens complimented ours in Md not far from AU park … and we have nothing flashy either …

I went to pull out a fistful, and the little goblin aggressively pushed my hand out of the bowl, dug his grubby hand into the bowl, and grabbed a fistful. He dropped several pieces on the ground, spun around with nary a word, and pushed through all the other kids patiently waiting... he almost knocked 3 or 4 other polite and petite little cuties off of the porch as he beat his retreat.

I, of course, gave them all my customary giant fistful, plus, as they had all been assaulted by the little greedy guy, a second fistful, and they all seemed delighted.

All I could think was the little schmuck's hand was much smaller than mine... so he ended up with a much smaller haul than he otherwise would have.

The kid was homeschooled from preschool through 3rd; his mama did him a disservice in that one, or maybe she was sparing the other kids for as long as she could, as his people skills are sorely lacking.

you showed that grubby homeschooled schmuck

My 8 year old does, especially if there are lights or those huge front yard spiderwebs.

A group of about ten boys came by our house last night...they were maybe 13 years old? A couple were hilariously rude saying "Whats in them??" re. the bags of mixed candy and approaching me without making eye contact and just coming up one by one with their pillowcases like I was working on a candy distribution assembly line.

But i wasnt offended! It was a good reminder that my sweet little kindergarten boy will be an oafish teenage boy one day too. I just hope he'll be the one in his future group of boys to look at someone in the eye and said thank you.

To be fair, my kids make comments on decorations and have their favorites.

My kids definitely check out the decorations and might comment on them if they really liked them. Why wouldn't they? Some people go all out with their displays.

Did you ID them as they came to the door?

I hate the attitude some homeowners give out of neighborhood kids. In one neighborhood I lived in we lived near apartments and those kids often came to our neighborhood. Why would that bother anyone? Each piece of candy costs how many cents, so why were my neighbors put out. Those were the worst people.

22182 lots of kids, all polite. We are a record number of older kids and teens and they were especially nice, thankful and complemented our decorations. We were happy to give candy to such nice older kids.

Maybe he is on spectrum like the one kid I had who acted similarly so don't assume it's horrible parenting. Where I am a lot of the homeschoolers aren't nutty. They're parents who have children who were treated terribly in our public school system. Also, no I am not a rwnj against public schools.

I'm not in AU park but kids complemented our decorations all night. The vast majority did but our house has a lot of funny stuff.
