Haha you’re so intense! What do you for a living? I like your answer and not being rude. I’m genuinely curious and feel like your intensity prob serves you well in some capacity.


NP here. Is going trick or treating in the rain really considered intense? I guess it would shock you that we (& many others at the same park) just camped in a tent in the pouring rain this weekend. I think carrying an umbrella and going trick or treating in the rain is pretty standard. At least, it was when I was a kid.
Don’t you guys ever go out in the rain just to let your kids play in the puddles?


No. My kid has sensory issues and hates rain. Any other quesitons?


So when it rains he stays home all day? Ridiculous!


Don't judge, you don't know the child and you don't know the situation.


Seriously. Don't be a dick.

The only options are go in the rain or don't go. They aren't moving Halloween.

NP. +1 You have no idea what we've gone through with our sensory-avoidant kid, who would cry if anything wet touched her skin even as an infant. I will still take her ToT-ing on Thursday, but even with a raincoat, umbrella & rainboots, it's going to be rough on all of us. Yes, we see therapists and have for years. Save your judgment.


So how do you bathe your child? I am truly interested.

Teacher and parent, here, and LOL at the idea that a child with rain issues is going to get through life just fine with such enabling. You are doing your kid no favors.

Throw them in the yard in a swimsuit under the sprinklers. Repeat. Spare the rest of us the insanity of having to deal with the expectation of catering to this.

Then this thread isn't for you, or other kids with sensory issues. The OP asked for ideas for her young kids who are excited to trick or treat and posted in the general parenting forum. To NT parents with NT kids, the idea of nixing ToTing because of a little rain seems ridiculous. If your situation is different, you can safely assume they aren't referring to you or your child. I hope you have a fun and safe Halloween, whatever you decide to do.


No, I’m sorry, people with SN kids don’t have to be relegated only to the special needs forum.


I’m not the PP. I am one with a sensory kid, but we are planning to use umbrellas and ponchos and still go trick or treating.

NP and I love of you swooped in and made this thread all about you. It seems like you already have a plan for rain on Halloween that is specific to your child and yet you still have to stir the pot!


100%.

Next time, OP, you should title this thread "Trick or treat rain options - Thursday forecast, specifically for non-sensory-avoidant kids who would cry if anything wet touched her skin even as an infant."

What site are you using? I see 100% chance of rain. I hope you are right but everyone I know in real life expects a wet Halloween.


+1. When I last checked my weather.com app, it said scattered showers will turn into a steady light rain in the evening. But I hope your app is more accurate!

Hourly forecast on weatherbug app. Same on Dark Sky. Potential for a few light showers at trick or treat time. Unless you're going at 1am, you'll be fine.
