[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] Well put, PP. This is the classic case of people getting on DCUM and trying to rationalize their inconsiderate behavior, instead of acknowledging that they are acting selfishly when it's pointed out to them. [/quote] While I agree with that sentiment in general, I disagree in this case. Like PPs have pointed out, this is just not a big deal in certain neighborhoods.[/quote]
