[quote=Anonymous]11 year olds ToT with their friends. Not dad, step-brat and evil step mom. And in a couple years, they will have aged out of ToT altogether.  So it is the "golden age" where they are finally old enough to ToT with friends in a safe area for a couple hours and have a little taste of freedom, and young enough to still ToT without adults making snide comments and posting on DCUM about all the greedy teenagers wanting candy.

My 12 year old went to ToT with a group of 5 girls in our very safe neighborhood. This was the 2nd year she was allowed to ditch the adults, and she had a wonderful time. My 14 year old had a math midterm today. He dressed up in last year's costume and handed out candy for a while, before heading into full study mode. I felt terrible that he had no "real"Halloween for the first time and offered to let him have friends over to order a pizza and watch a movie. But nope-- math midterm. I did buy his favorite candies and make him a a ToT bag. But still-- it goes fast.

11 year olds also throw tantrums.  Often on their way to their bedrooms, where they will slam the door and burst into tears. Because you asked them if they have fed the cat yet.

You know nothing about step-parenting a tweenage girl. [/quote]
