To let my son wear a mask for halloween when we go shopping

YANBU.

Depends what age he is.

is it not obligatory!

If he's 6 then fine, if he's 16 then YABU!

I wouldn't let my children, purely for the fact that I am aware that some younger children are easily scared. I wouldn't want to traumatise another child when my child can just put the maskback on when we get to the car.

No yanbu - my dd (6) has already said she is dressing up in her witch costume and we are off shopping later

yanbu

i am petrified of masks but wouldn't expect people not to wear them just for that reason. So YANBU, but if you see a woman running away screaming it might be me!

if he is young and it is nt a very scary mask (ie no scream type) one than that is fine

but older kids in very scary rather than fun masks isnt really great

Agree with geepers

Go for it. My 4 yr old wears his spiderman mask everywhere but he's swapped for a werewolf one (just for halloween!)
