Every year around this time I receive this award and this year wasn't any different. It is all about Halloween...No, the kiddos did not go trick or treating, no they did not dress up and no I don't have any candy in the house calling my name and YES I am a mean mom.
I just hear tons of stories from parents about this night of hassle from spending mucho $$ on costumes, to nasty weather, to hyper/sick kids, to left over candy a week later...this is what we came up with to win me the Mean Mom Award...We made a deal with the kiddos...No trick or treating and the following week we go to a local Target/Walmart and pick out their own bag of candy or fruit snacks AND they get $5.00 a piece to spend any way their little heart desires.
Sorry if you were looking for pictures of the kiddos in the costumes and bags of candy...you won't find that here. But gotta run now, since that bag of candy is calling their name and that money is burning a hole in the pockets of some.
:) Our kids haven't gone more than once and I don't think they even feel like they missed out! I don't care for Halloween much either!
