Oh and I throw away everything left over that we had to give out when the night

10 small items is kind of lame but I don't think getting rid of most of it is

You don't have a dentist that will pay the kids for their candy?

Our kids can eat what they can get when they want it. No restrictions.

Your kids will talk about this in therapy when they're older

That's funny, because it is 100% true.

Duke Silver

You really did that to your kids? Really? That sucks.

PGVikingDad

10/29/14 12:55pm

Wow, talk over protective. You throw their candy away? That's like telling

I buy it from them. I make an offer, they choose to sell or not. Win-win

Rogue Gunner

That's actually a brilliant idea.

Duke Silver

I must not have explained myself well enough....

This is what I do. $5 a pound

Probably cancels christmas too.

You wouldn't happen to be a lunchroom worker at Uintah Elementary, by chance?

You must like to hear your kids cry.

The fatter my kids are the less they move and the easier they are to track.

You're an ogre.

Tricky

10/29/14 1:05pm

No rules for 48 hours. After that, sell it to the dentist and get rid of it.

"Throw away"? Just confiscate the surplus for Daddy and Mommy's treat stash.

When you're murdered by your kids ala the Melendez bros

I'm firmly against Trunk or Treat. It's just plain lazy.

OpusX

10/29/14 1:23pm

I'm too lazy to do such analysis before determining which candy to give out

Tricky

10/29/14 1:34pm

I'm bothered by 16 year olds with no costumes. That's just mooching.

OpusX

10/29/14 1:37pm

I'm with you on that. I've seen gangs of teenagers that looked like they just

Tricky

10/29/14 1:47pm

In Utah, IMHO, all it does is alienate non-LDS with kids.

buzzard

10/29/14 1:36pm

Then they should have accepted the invite to the Trunk or Treat.

BYUtka

10/29/14 1:39pm

You are assuming they were invited in the first place.

buzzard

10/29/14 1:43pm

If you go to trunk or treat I think you should still give out candy on Halloween

Tricky

10/29/14 1:40pm

I'm sympathetic when Halloween happens on a Sunday

OpusX

10/29/14 1:43pm

My honest opinion. You are waaayy too unreasonable. Let them enjoy this season!!

Desert Rat

10/29/14 1:25pm

Perhaps no more than 2 Christmas presents, and donate the rest! come on man!

Desert Rat

10/29/14 1:29pm

This has been done.

buzzard

10/29/14 1:39pm

Let's just say, I'm happy I wasn't raised by you and so are my kids

CougarBacker

I honestly thought he was kidding at first! Think back at that age the excitment

Desert Rat

10/29/14 1:33pm

Has the scent of very heavy-handed parenting. Kids need to be allowed to do

I'll show my wife this post. She's going to be ecstatic. As for myself . . .
