If your neighbors are going to be mad that your house is dark for an hour, you live in a mean neighborhood. Move somewhere normal. [/quote]

Yep.[/quote]

Nope. This intentionally misses the point. No one is mad just because your lights are off, maybe you have to work or travel or don't have kids and don't care to participate. That's cool. Honestly, that is what I have always assumed when I saw lights out and not taught twice about it. But it is completely different if you are turning out your lights, and not leaving a bowl, so that two parents can take snowflake to freeload candy from your neighbors.

It is also worth pointing out that having two parents come is completely about the parents, and how they want to experience Halloween. Most kids could care less if Mommy and Daddy about both behind them as they dart from house to house. Trick or treating is not family-focused, quality time.[/quote]

Of course it's about the parents. We both want to watch the kids trick-or-treat. I do not owe it to the neighborhood to make sure someone is on duty every second. I think you misunderstand freeloading. Freeloading would be if you take your children trick-or-treating every single year but never hand out candy. Freeloading is NOT deciding to turn on your light an hour later than some other folks do. We gave out candy pre-kids, we will give out candy after our kids are too old, and we give out candy when we get home from watching our children go around the block. People who think this is rude are nuts. [/quote]
