[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this rude? We have a 9-month-old and will not be taking him trick-or-treating. He goes to bed at 7:00, and we start quiet time at 6:00 and bedtime routine at 6:30, so we were not planning to hand out candy since we don't want to be interrupted by constant knocks on the door. We will be home, but porch lights off. Are we awful neighbors, or is this acceptable? (we did candy last year but this baby's a crap sleeper and I don't want to do anything that will interrupt his nighttime sleep!) [/quote]

Obviously not. There's no law that says you must buy candy and give it out. Halloween is pretty hypocritical anyway.[/quote]

Oh DCUM... (loud, long sigh)... because if it's not illegal it must not be rude?  :roll:

But to original quoted PP, I don't think your situation is rude at all. It's fine to opt-out of trick-or-treat. The problem is people who want to take their own child trick-or-treating, but insist on taking both parents, and don't leave a bowl. Those people are freeloading on their neighbor's candy without letting other children trick-or-treat at their house. [/quote]

I totally agree. Furthermore, I think anyone who doesn't have kids shouldn't be allowed to hand out any candy at all lest they disturb this imbalance and get tarred and feathered by DCUM. [/quote]
