Check Out This Lunatic Parent (1 Viewer)

wow - of course they didn't add their name to the announcement. I guess you can find the house giving away carrot stick and pick them out.

 
So teach your kid a life lesson, and take him to the homeless shelter and give the candy he can't eat, to people who are truly less fortunate

I'm betting this is real. My daughter had a few Halloween Parties already this year and she's got a metric ####-load of Smarties and Gummie Life Savers so far. Very little chocolate and very few items with peanuts.

Also could be cheap parents - candy (especially the chocolate candy bars) went up like everything else this year. Smarties/Life Savers/Nerds/etc all in the "450 pieces" cheap candy packs.

 
My oldest son has a peanut allergy and you should see the horse-trading he does with his brother and sister after they get back from 2 hours of trick or treating. Does one mini-Snickers or Milky Way equal 2 or 3 tootsie rolls? Hell I don't know, but he sure bargains his way to a great haul. I think all three would seriously bummed in that neighborhood. They have a blast once they get home with the buying/selling. All of them will be going with me to negotiate my next car buy.

If he's an only child that the universe revolves around, it might be hard to trade. Unless the parents arranged something with neighbors/friends.

They should maybe talk to him about searching a bowl for the proper candy. Usually most will have a true Hershey's if they have a Reese's.

 
I'm gonna give away cheap beers that I don't want and that ####ing cider that I have to buy for my SIL.

 
I'd be in favor of subsidizing the relocation of all families who have peanut allergies to Florida or maybe Guam so that the rest of us dont have to have good things ruined. First airline peanuts disappeared, now this? What's next?

 
My brother's a diabetic and every year my parents would buy his candy off them.

He gets to have the fun of going around with his friends, and turned it in for some cold hard cash. Win-win

disclaimer: We always had neighbors who would buy sugar free candy for him so he always had some candy.

I guess it's easier typing up a letter and plastering it across the neighborhood putting the responsibility on others than getting creative and finding a solution.

 
"Dear parents.... don't fiscally bully my child by buying your kids an iPad when we can't afford them."

Whole world needs to wear diapers because one ####### #### their pants....

 
This looks like one of those things someone just makes up and posts about it for likes or upvotes....so, with that said. I will not be liking any posts in this thread

 
When I was a kid nobody was Autistic and nobody had a nut allergy (snicker snicker.. nut allergy) what the hell has happened in the last 40 years?

Lots of people were autistic and lots of people had nut allergies... they were just shamed into hiding it.

According to this article, it's because of video games and incessant hand washing (last paragraph):

"Or maybe it's all the videogames. Scientists think vitamin D, which the body needs sunlight to make, helps the immune system label substances as innocuous and thus build up a tolerance. Children who spend less time outdoors tend to be deficient in D, Wood says, so their body might mislabel peanut proteins as dangerous. Parents looking to protect their kids might consider sending them outside -- and not washing their hands when they come home."

 
My son has a peanut allergy. Taking half his haul at the end of the night is the highlight of Halloween for me.

 
just have all of the neighbors who intend to hand out normal candy paint a red cross with the blood of a lamb on their front door so little Timmy can skip it..

 
If you masturbate in front of an open window the 11 months that lead up to Halloween, the little brats never come to your door on Oct. 31.

 
It would be difficult, as a parent, to see the sadness in a child who felt deprived and excluded. I can see that feeling leading to ill-conceived actions out of a desire to protect one's child from that excluded feeling. Life, however, has some harsh lessons for us all. Lessons thrust upon us at times not of our choosing, as who would ever choose such. Desperation and helplessness are difficult feelings to address properly.

I like the parents in here who have found constructive ways to deal with the issue. I'm sure we have parents with other, analogous issues, whether because of child onset diabetes, tumors, cancer, or other physical or metal disabilities or challenges. In the end, sometimes, one simply has to accept that life is not fair.

The current leading theory is that too many antibiotics (in small children) can kill off the helpful bacteria in the gut that prevents food allergies.

God, I loved being a diabetic at Halloween. I was diagnosed when I was seven-. Every holiday I played the "if only I could have candy like the other kids" card and every holiday (including like Easter and Valentines day) my parents would buy me a new video game. I swear I had every Commodore 64 and Sega game ever made.
