I love to see the babies that people bring around, but when the mom then holds out a bag for me to put candy in (for the baby that is too young for solid food) it rubs me the wrong way. [/quote]

They’re doing that to avoid an awkward end to the interaction. Are they supposed to just thank you for admiring their baby and then leave? Ostensibly, their reason for showing up at your door was trick or treating, so they’re going through the motions.[/quote]

I thought parents of infants were doing it to be out and about and to let people admire their babies. So yes, that's what they're supposed to do.

::ding-dong!::

Oh, hi!
Hi! We just wanted to dress Larla up, and now we're touring the neighborhood!
I'm so glad you did! She makes a cute dinosaur! Or scary? Should I say scary?
Eh, we'll take either! OK, see you soon! Bye!
Bye!

AND SCENE[/quote]

Honestly, that is creepy and insane. Literally nobody would do this. Plus the bag and candy is the whole point of Halloween. Nobody is there for conversation. Why begrudge a baby their first Halloween experience?[/quote]

I will GLADLY give out candy to first time moms with an infant. They deserve to dress their baby up, tour the neighborhood and dive into a snickers while breastfeeding that night!  SUPPORT MOMS[/quote]

Yes!  Exactly.

Hell, we bought all this candy with the INTENT TO GIVE IT AWAY!!!

So, lets give it away to the our friends and neighbors in our community.  I honestly don't understand the things some people want to get grumpy about.

I would rather give the candy to a new Mom, then lug it into the office and leave it up for grabs in the kitchen[/quote]
