[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s because zero risk people won’t let their kids participate so they don’t want anyone else’s kids to have the option either. They’d rather have no one go then be the ones to tell their kids no. FWIW, our neighborhood is doing trick-or-treat with any house with a light on. [/quote]

It’s like the parents who don’t want any kids attending school in person, even though they have the option to stay all-virtual. [/quote]
Like someone upthread said, it’s all about control for some people. They’ve made a decision to be careful. More power to them. But, that doesn’t give them any right to try and force the rest of us to live like they do.

I don’t know, for some reason the DC area attracts those types of people.[/quote]

I am one of those parents. Look here, the pandemic IS NOT OVER. It is not safe because some kid won't follow the rules and will expose your kid.[/quote]
Okay. Well, I’m certainly not going to tell you how to live your life. I assume you know what’s best for your family.

But, no, you don’t get to make those decisions for my family. Your stress and anxiety level will go down once you accept that you can’t control other people.

My kids are going trick or treating this year. [/quote]

Np Just tell your kids not to expect as much candy as previous years because not everyone on your block is going to be handing out candy.   If we can't tell you what to do than you can't tell us.[/quote]

I wish your predictions had been true. My kids weighed their candy last night and the youngest had 12lbs. Plus a ton of king size this year. It was really nice to see most houses with porch lights on welcoming TOT. Also no shortage of bonfires and spiked cider being given to the adults.

All in all it was actually a great Halloween.  So many creative ideas and way more people outside than ever (people in driveways and such, basically met lots of new people).

Frankly I'm glad the Debbie Downers in this site are clearly in the minority hysterical fringe.[/quote]

Our neighborhood was great too. Decorated tables, ziplines, chutes, tong throws, candy on skewers in the front law. One neighbor had a chute from his second floor window. My kids declared it the best Halloween. Everyone was in masks and socially distant.  So happy for the kids. It was the spark they needed and deserved. [/quote]
