Not taking my children trick or treating?

[SimulationStation]

my DCs are 3.5 and 5.5 years. I feel it's probably a bit young to take them trick or treating. I am aware DD's friends are going. (year1 children). Just worried she will feel left out. I am hoping to keep quiet and hope no one knocks on our door. Probably close the curtains and hide behind the sofa!

It's your call, obviously. We are big trick or treat 'hosts' ie. we dress the outside of the house up in spooky stuff and pumpkins for the evening and stand by with large quantities of sweets. The smaller children turn up early evening usually with mums and dads hovering by the gate and loads of mates in tow. The older ones turn up later by themselves.

If you don't want any visitors, turn out the lights and shut the curtains. Have fun behind the sofa!

YABU for being the millinoth person to start exactly the same thread this week!!

Mine are 9 and 11 and are not going Trick or Treating, they never have.

YABU, this is why I have 2 full bowls of lollies sitting in the cupboard!

:)

Your year one child will come home from school full of it and won't forget!!

this it like the 100th thread, do what you want.

When my son was that age I went and about ten friends close by [within walking distance] gave them a bag of sweets and said can we pop around between 6-630 and trick or treat you.

Then son got dressed up and off we went........half an hour of fun....simple.
