Guest guest Posted September 25, 2001 Report Share Posted September 25, 2001 What I have told my son is that he is going to get candy for Mom, and Mom will give him candy (i.e. acceptable, GFCF, candy) in return. He seems to like this idea; that it will be like getting a " present " for Mom.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2001 Report Share Posted September 25, 2001 Hi all, Graham loves trick or treating and dressing up, but he's never eaten the candy anyway, so for once I am not anticipating a major problem He gives the " good stuff " to his sister and the rest we give to the art teacher at his school who uses it for her prize box. As a slight digression, it has always amazed me that Graham likes Halloween. I used to figure the dressing up and craziness inherent in this holiday would totally put him off, but it never has. I will be getting some acceptable candy and keeping it in my pocket for that " in-between houses " snacking on Halloween. Good luck all. Fondly, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 25, 2001 Report Share Posted September 25, 2001 , That's the best idea I've read so far!!! I knew there had to be a way I could chow down on those candy bars. Haha. Actually, my child could care less about food, so she'll be easy. I also made your mint cookies and they were great! Thanks. Jane said, " I like chocolate " when eating one. So does mommy!!!!

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 I did not survive halloween very well. I did not dump on candy. very strange. I have dumped on grapes but not snickers. go figure.I know very well " just because you can eat it doen't mean you should " right???? I have 2 of my adult kids at home, both are single parents, so I have 2 grandkids here also. my daughter is pretty concientious about her and her daughters diets. My son tends to buy a LOT of junk for his son and brings it in the house. I have asked him not to, his excuse for buying a DOZEN donuts is that they are for the kids. (I suggested getting him one donut for a special treat) I say the 2 yo and 5 yo don't need to get used to eating all that sugar. He says I am interfering with his right to raise his kid his own way. I say it is MY house and I can not have a dozen donuts just sitting in my kitchen tempting me ( or wiring up the little kids ) He thinks I should show some self control and just not eat it. My reply was simply this " I am telling you , I am having a problem with this. I will die if I eat this stuff, I am asking for your support. furthermore, if these donuts are sitting here I am throwing them out in the yard to feed the birds. I cannot have them in the house. " I gave out little bags of pretzels for Halloween, but the little ones have big buckets of candy all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 Bottom Line -- It's your house. No questions! You do have self control - you have control enough to get rid of the crap! You make the rules -- they need to follow them. Maybe because I am not a parent -- but heck, when I try to get over on my mom -- 70+ years old by bringing something into HER house she can't have (she's diabetic) -- there is hell to pay if I don't get it out quick! Thanks goodness I live alone . .LOL --- willow_rny_9_25_2002 wrote: > I did not survive halloween very well. I did not > dump on candy. very > strange.
