I dont have any kids or younger siblings but I do remember how I felt when Halloween candy was taken away from me. After awhile, I learned to adapt. Instead of getting grumpy that they were taking my hard earned candy, I charged friends (who were not allowed to trick or treat) nickels and dimes so that they could have some of mine. I guess you can say, I capitalized on my candy surplus (and all the candy's I hated). Looking back, I only sold it to my slimmer friends though... Coincidence?

I don't have kids, and to be honest I was never aloud to trick-or-treat when I was younger. But my parents would still buy a bowl of candy to hand out to the kids in the neighborhood. I would always eat a ton of candy from that, and I never felt guilty! (;

So, your parents would not let you trick-or-treat, but they would encourage the neighborhood kids to do so by buying candy for them? Ouch. Yeah, I don't blame you for swiping that candy. It was yours!

I don't have kids, but I have younger siblings, and I must say that I have stolen their candy once or twice. But I usually exchange the one I stole for a candy I really hate, so it's not that bad.
