19 years at my place and only 1 trick or treat begger, little deaf girl that used to live across the road from us. Cute kid and sharp as a tack. Too bad her parents were some of the worst white trash I've ever encountered.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

I hate families like that . I believe in myob and think the gov meddles too much already and then I see a case like you described and it hurts to watch.
I did mr mom and did all the field trips and most all the school parties and functions and you can tell the kids who are hurting. Some are so desperate for attention from a male and I get to know their family situations and it's frustrating to look at a real decent kid who you know is likely doomed

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I haven't seen a trick-or-treater in the twenty years I've lived here. Sort of away from major concentrations of kids. Neighbors on the north side had kids of the right age a few years after they moved in, but they always took the kids to make the rounds with their cousins in the "old neighborhood" (which was more built-up and thus easier pickings). Once the kids on the north side outgrew the ritual, the family on the south side had kids. But ... they, too, prefer to take their kids to make the rounds with relatives and former neighbors.

I used to buy candy, and never gave any out. Now I don't even bother.
