[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we left a bowl of candy out, in our neighborhood, it would be gone in minutes. Once our kid is old enough to trick-or-treat, one of us will take her out and the other will just have to stay home. It's really not a big deal to only have one parent accompany the child...[/quote]

Then you live in a neighborhood of ill-mannered children and inattentive parents.

Most kids are trick or treating with their parents, especially in the early hours.  Don't their parents make sure they don't raid the bowl?

For what it's worth, my husband and I both take our 3 kids trick or treating.  In our neighborhood, 20% or so of the houses have kids that are trick-or-treating with their parents and leave a bowl out.  Parents of older kids, non-parents, and older people are all home to hand out candy.  I think those of you that think one parent should sit home while the other one trick or treats with the kids are nuts.[/quote]

I live in a neighborhood where kids from unsafe neighborhoods are driven in and dropped off to do their trick-or-treating. Nothing I can do about that.

And it's hardly "nuts" for one parent to take the kids out while the other parent stays home to hand out candy. That's what the vast majority of people do. [/quote]
