[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haha sorry you don't get to dictate what my kids do with the candy others voluntarily give out. What a piece of work you all are! [/quote]

I’m asking if most people really do this so that if most people do, I can stop wasting $100 on candy that’s going in the trash and instead give out a sticker or something cheaper to go into the trash[/quote]

If it helps, the parents I know who actually do this eat the candy themselves.[/quote]

Uh, no. My kids get to keep enough candy to last until Christmas and the rest is donated.[/quote]

You sound fun. Lighten up and have a Snickers.[/quote]

Fun? 😂 Being a parent is not about being fun. It’s about setting boundaries and teaching healthy habits. You can have candy and also be healthy without gorging on it, that behavior actually can lead to eating disorders. My children receive stockings full of candy for Christmas, a month later valentine's candy, then Easter. There’s no reason to keep 6 pounds of Halloween candy all year long! Setting boundaries is healthy. Because there’s a limit, They choose their favorites instead of mindlessly, eating everything that’s there.[/quote]
