[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly are we supposed to give kids with allergies or don’t eat sugar? Seems like money is the only thing you would find acceptable, which isn’t going to happen. I have a variety of candy and let kids pick. That’s the extent of it. You can’t please everyone all the time.[/quote]

Hi there! My kids have nut allergies, and our friends down the street don’t eat sugar, so I get it. Um no, don’t expect money. We give the Halloween-themed bags of Pirates Booty (gluten free) and Veggie Straws (shaped like bats and also gluten free), as well as sugar-free gum as some of our non-candy treats. Thank you for asking so I could give you those ideas![/quote]

Gum? Many kids aren’t allowed gum. Halloween must be hard if you have such rigid expectations about what others give.[/quote]

I know you’re addicted to cheap plastic crap from China. Must be hard to give up, but yes, there are many alternatives to candy if candy is your concern. And if a kid isn’t allowed to have gum, parents can confiscate it. Are you OK? [/quote]

No, I said I give candy. If you don't like it donate it somewhere. Or confiscate the candy your kids don't like. Or just stay home probably easiest for high maintenance people like you who have difficulties navigating life.[/quote]

I…do donate candy we don’t want somewhere. Keep trying to make points I never made, though, because you recognize yourself as one of the overblown types who can’t be satisfied with one day of Halloween festivities. I know you’re mad that the Boo Bag tradition you started in your neighborhood irks people.[/quote]

I suspect there is a frustrated "you have to appreciate my boo bag skillz! it's so fun!!" person, too.[/quote]
