Anyone Passing Out Candy?? Question.

Do you only give candy to the small children?

I ask because I love to see the older kids come out to trick or treat too, whether they're trick or treating themselves or a chaperone with the kids.

Had some office small talk (dont know why I bother. I come to work to eat and get paid) and majority of the people here say they pass up the bigger kids citing them as greedy or the holiday belongs to the littles. I noticed when I was younger, my dad never wanted to give kids over a certain height candy either.

Them I remember going to a Halloween party in 8th grade and it wasn't a kids Halloween party, for sure. I wanted to trick or treat but the neighborhood folks wouldn't give me candy because I was "too big". I mean yeah, I was shaped like an Amazon princess but I was still a kid.

How do you all feel about age/height requirements for passing out candy??

I hand out candy to everyone in costume, doesn't matter the age and anyway, kids grow up too fast these days, so if they can be young for one night, why not?

I say let kids be kids whether they are small or big. Give em the candy. 14 or 15 year olds. Why not? They're still young and living the young life.

There isn't trick or treating door-to-door where I am now, but if there was, I would not have restrictions.

I wish it was okay for adults to go because I would, no question. I love Hallowe'en.

oh give it all out - it may not always be like this - such a strange world and it's turning fast ...

I live in the country now and I don't get anyone coming by - as a matter of fact if I do, they will be tasting on of the shells from my shotgun

It actually took us going to a Halloween party for my dad to see he shouldn't shun away the bigger kids.

They played R. Kelly songs... Lol. Lawd

Teenagers get left out a lot in events like that. People expect or force a 13 year old to grow up already. That mentality gets passed on and they behave like adults and taking on adult situations when they are not mentally capable of so yet. Such as sex, teen pregnancy and what not. They will grow up eventually but on their own terms.

Give it to the older kids too.

They may have gotten stuck escorting the little ones around, so they deserve a little something for the effort.

Plus, I don't necessarily know their home situation. Their parents might have lost jobs, etc and thet may have scraped together enough money for a costume or used last year's or borrowed a costume and some free candy might just make things a little more bearable.

Aaawwwwwnnnn you gotta big heart.

My older son stopped after 6th grade. He just thought he was too cool.

My younger son is in 8th grade is this is his first year not going. I just buy candy and they hang out with their friends.

My youngest is tall for his age. I brought him out when he was 11 years old and some people criticized him for being too old to trick or treat. I would just nicely tell them that he is only 11.

So I'm just not being able to post again. Uuuggghhh this site sometimes...

I don't give a shit. I usually have more than enough candy.

I did pause last night when I had a kid and his mom and she holds out her bag and asks, "Can I have some too?"

...erm okay. Odd.

Again, no fucks to give. I was trying to get rid of what I had so whatever haha.
