Subject: Trick or Treating elsewhere due to neighbors children becoming upset (they aren’t allowed to). Am I doing too much?
We had a large church in our town that discouraged members from TOTing and they always had church events during that time.
Are they Jehova Witness? Don't worry the kids being miserable is necessary to them deciding to leave the church.

The kids will still be looking out the windows and seeing other children trick or treat. Your kids don’t make much difference in the dynamic. That said, your neighbor is pretty cruel. She could choose to take her kids out to do something fun instead of forcing them to stay home and cry over being left out.
I don’t really understand either OP. They will see other lots of other kids ToTing. You aren’t shielding them from anything
She's shielding her own kids from having to see their friends red, snotty faces wailing and sobbing at the window and keeping the day light and fun instead of focused around their friends trauma.
