[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest factor here is where you live.  I'd say only about a fourth of the families in our neighborhood have small kids, so there are plenty of single folks/empty nesters/ parents with teens who can stay home to distribute candy.  It's a given in our neighborhood that the families with small kids are out trick-or-treating and not home giving out candy. [b] It works well for us.[/quote][/b]

The most overused statement on DCUM (alternatives include "It works for our family.")  Meaning:  We don't care that it's rude, we do it anyway.  [/quote]

OK, so you really feel that it is critical for EVERY SINGLE HOUSE on a block to be giving out candy?  That it is terrible if your kid has to skip every 4th house?

When I say it works for "us" I mean that this is the way our neighborhood has operated for as long as we lived here, including the years when we had no kids.  It just balances out and there has never been an issue with Halloween being "ruined" for kids because *gasp* they don't get candy at every house on the block.[/quote]
