I hate getting "booed"

Probably 90% of the houses in one area had the ghost-hotes by Halloween. We've been in the DC area for a decade now, and haven't ever lived in a neighborhood where people do this.

May I ask what neighborhood in CO this was?

Seems true. We moved to suburbia last year and I am struck by the love my neighbors have for holiday visuals
and seasonal decorating in general. Hypothesis is that changes in decor is the only way you know time is actually passing in the burbs.

OP here... I wish it were putting candy in a paper bag. Here, in my hood, it requires buying crap at Targret, making a color copy of the boo sheet, along with candy, and then finding a house that hasn't already been booed... Oh, and on my street you are supposed to boo two houses. Grrrr.

We live in a different time, where this is not fun anymore.

Why lump us all together? I would slit my wrists before I did something this hokey while also creating a new obligation for someone. Now if kids want to do it themselves, fine.

I'm a SAHM and we get booed every year. Had no idea that we were suppose to hang a sign or pass it on.

It is part of mommy wars. Shams do it to working women to make a point.

Actually, in our neighborhood it's clicky SAHMs that want to prove how they all think they fit in and how they think others don't.. ha- at this point it;s just like 4 people doing it.. more power to them ..

Are those SAHMs with arthritis?

Thanks for the giggle, PP.

I guess no SAHMs are into the definition of clicky...

OP - why don't you put up a sign that you have been booed before you are? Stop it before it starts.

Only if you are a conformist tool.

I think it's kind of fun actually. Maybe I'm just weird...

Let me google that for you.. but since that may to much- here is a link defining this..

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=clicky

It's clique, genius. And adding the Y sound makes a nonsense word. Although plenty of morans say clique-y.

From a boo mom who has nothing to do but stay at home since she has no real job prospects (oh wait- let me object how you have a lala degree and just had to give up millions per year!!!)
