What Do You Do With ALL THAT CANDY?
Halloween is coming right up and I’m getting ready for the daily post-Halloween battle. It goes something like this: Son: “Can I have a piece of candy?” Me: “Not until after dinner, and then only one.” Son: “Please?” Pause five minutes. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat ad nauseum. I’ve asked other parents how they handle the Halloween dilemma. One mom told me she lets her kids eat as much candy as they want for 20 minutes after they return home from trick or treating. (She sets the timer, then ready, set, go!) Once that 20 minutes is over everything that’s left goes into the trash. I actually like that idea but I know it would never fly in our house. Another mom lets her kids pick out a few special treats, then pays them to give up the rest . Considering how much my son loves candy, I’m not sure I have enough money for that one. Some parents eat their kids candy after they go to bed (I’m not saying I never do that!) and others take excess candy to the office where it’s invariably gobbled up along with everyone else’s leftover Halloween hauls (I do send some to the office with my husband, but not enough to make a dent my son would notice). A few more years and it won’t even matter in my family –- the boy will be too old for trick or treating. Maybe I should just give up and let him enjoy his sugar gorging while he’s young. Who knows. Yet still I continue searching for a feasible solution to our post-Halloween battle. How do you handle the Halloween excess, and the lingering post-Halloween candy collection left behind? Really … I want to know!
