Adults trick or treating

[monkeyboy]

w/o kids


aside from pirate girl with the fishnets...not sure why they would even do it

I got to enjoy Tinkerbell gulping down a beer while trick or treating..... they didn't come to my door at least.

My old roommate refused to give candy to older kids (like over 13) unless they were bringing around a smaller sibling. She would tell them "sorry, you're too old"!

this one woman today said "i know i'm too old to be trick-or-treating, this is for my baby in the stroller" so i said "oh ok"(stroller? how old is this kid? can they even eat candy??) but i gave her some anyway and i watched them walk away from the window and .........guess what........there was no stroller. she just walked to the next house and did the same thing.

i think that when i get my own place i'm going to put up a sign that says "No Costume? No Candy!"

 

[dreamcometrue]

so far I haven't had any adults. Had 2 high school kids though that didn't even wear a costume! I only gave them a little candy. I have SO MUCH DARN CANDY, I give it out by by the handful. And I am eating all the chocolate, starting to feel sick!!! ugh!

Okay, I'm 20 and my friends and I all trick-or-treated in the neighborhoods around campus. We had awesome costumes though, it's not like we just went around in our jeans and hoodies. As long as you have a costume on and are getting into the spirit of it, not just looking for free candy I think it's fine.

What a bunch of pigs. Dont they realize they would be better off spending 10 bucks and buying a ton of candy on their own so they can have what they want exactly.

I don't see anything wrong with adults who want to go trick or treating. This is a Disney message board and Disney is all about being a child again, so why would people on a Disney message board have a problem with adults who want to go trick or treating I don't know why anyone would have a problem with adults who want to go trick or treating As long as people are not hurting anyone let them do whatever makes them happy

What you and your friends did was fine and there is nothing wrong with what you all did You and your friends did not hurt anyone and you all had a good time and that is what is important I am glad that you all had a good time

I was again in charge of supervising our DD and prompting her sign language and social skills, so I wasn't home.

Dh told me about the....lacking in class neighbors, who brought their costumed kids around. The kids were, kids in costumes.The adults then asked if they could get treats as well and offered up their own bags. The adults weren't costumed, just dressed as they normally would. Bewildered, DH gave them each a DumDum, that I had in the bowl for the older kids without a costume.

First time I'd seen this. I joke about "Trick or Beer" when I'm squirelling the girls around the neighborhood, but I don't even take up those who offer on it...

I did go out trick or treating when I was 23, with an 11 year old daughter of a friend...I wasn't out for treats so didn't go to every house, and I was in costume with full make-up. If the adults had put forth even the slightest effort, my DH would feel differently.

He sees me wear a an orange shirt with balck skulls and crossbones, blinking lighted pumpkin necklace and blue hair just to supervise kids...It doesn't need to make sense, just needs to be an effort.

As I sit here in my apartment on campus witnessing all the drunk people in the building I have to venture to say that what we did is better than what all other college students seem to have elected to do. They are smashing pumpkins, toilet papering, just being very destructive. I love your positive, accepting attitude FlowersChild.

I also had a mom with a baby (this time there actually was a baby) but I really wanted to ask her why she was trick-or-treating for her infant? If she wants candy she can go buy some! No costume for her either.

If they are in a costume and behaving appropriatly (no drinking, no pushing little kids out of the way, etc) then I think it is fine. It is better than them getting trashed at some party. I went ToT until I was 19 years old and pregant with my DD5. Now I take her ToT and steal her candy.

Last year (when it was warmer) I pulled a wagon with a cooler full of beer in it. I would stop the adults I knew and say "Trick or Treat!" and give them a beer. It went over quite well .

My neighbors came by with their little girl. She is 3 or 4 and was a pirate. They were in full costumes too. I gave her a ton of candy and offered to them too. They declined, said it was for the kids.

I wish they took it, it's still sitting on my desk.

the people we went ToT with used to do that too. only they called it "trick or drinking"

 

[disykat]

Sure they can trick or treat as long as I also have the right to scoff at them. I consider trick or treating something children do. Anyone who comes to my door gets oohed and ahhed over and treated like a child.

I offer adults with their kids candy too (most refuse it), but if I just see someone in costume I'm going to treat them like they are a kid.

I had the luxury of having Halloween and getting candy in WDW just last week. Who am I to deny that little bit of joy to someone who comes to my door? Life's too hard.

However, just a bit of a heads up....

If you're making the cutoff at twelve, be sure that you're not picking on a kid who's too tall or has experienced a growth spurt at ten or eleven. I had two kids in my class in the fifth grade who were my age, but looked about three years older. They got picked on all the time and I know it must have hurt their feelings even if they tried to act tough. No sense in hurting a child's feelings over a piece of bubble gum.

Werd.

My son is 12, the oldest of his group of friends. He's also the lightest, smallest and shortest. His friends TOWER over him. Not anyone's fault, but don't think you know just by looking at them....

Flip side, DD is taller and bigger than DS was at age 11, and she'll turn 9 years old in 2 days...

I try to give costumed or kids who made any sort of attempt the benefit of the doubt. Show me you care and you get a whole lot more than one piece of candy.

I am glad that you posted this, I was thinking about this myself. There are some people under 13 who are VERY tall for their age. I would hate to see a child's feelings get hurt because they are very tall or very short. I would just hate to see a child's feelings get hurt for any reason and I hate to see anyone get their feelings hurt.
