[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had one person knock at our door even though the porch light wasn’t on. We had candy so I masked up and gave the little kid some candy, but my son was mad. “How come she gets to go out.” I just told him that other families made different choices, and even though I did not think it was smart, I wasn’t going to not give a small child some candy. They will all get over it.[/quote]

I can understand your kids being mad at you for this.[/quote]

Me too! If I was a kid I’d be outraged, lol![/quote]

New poster here and I wouldn't have been outraged.  Because from the time I was little my parents taught me that fair does NOT mean equal.  And, that life isn't always fair. I had really strict parents in some ways - I wasn't allowed to watch cartoons or MTV, but could watch an R-rated movie, and read any book and listen to any music I wanted. I couldn't eat Twinkies or Twizzlers but I could use the sharpest knife in the house. Different homes have different rules. Even a 3 year old can understand that concept. "At Yuki's house, I have to take off my shoes before I go inside." This is not a difficult concept.[/quote]
