Wow sO much drama surrounding Halloween and expectations of children.
I am pretty mindful of Hannah saying thank you and sometimes I don't hear her even though she did say it and people will say "it's ok. She did" lol. There are a lot of kids running around, it is noisy and sometimes you may think your child said thank you when they didn't. There is usually multiple kids at any door at any given time so keeping track at every door... Forgive them if maybe they missed the thank You at your house... And with so many kids maybe the candy distributor just missed it themselves
After trick or treat we come home and sit at the end of the driveway and hand out candy and honestly, we are too busy to notice if every single child says thank you or not so really I can't recall any moments where I felt kids were just these awful monsters running around taking advantage of people and their candy.
I saw a thing on facebook the other day that made me laugh and kind of reminds me of this sort of thing. "I've seen the village and I don't think I want it raising my children"
So much hostility over children not being perfect examples of society at all times. I am always trying to be mindful of Hannahs manners and try to be a good example of using them myself but I also understand that she is a CHILD and she isn't always going to remember every thing she should say and do in every situation
