okay ... i know this is off topic but i today i took my 2 year old daughter trick-or-treating with me today and guess what .... out of the 300 apartments only 10 opened their door ... only 3 had candy ... one lady gave my daughter a dollar (which i pressingly told her was unnecessary) ... But i am at loss. What happened to the spirit of Halloween? I remember when i was growing up i used to get loads of candy just in my block; sometimes 2 bags full. Its a dead shame ... people seem to be getting cheaper by the day. And its so lame because it is sort of a happy and fun experience for kids ...

sorry but i just felt really stupid going door to door with my 2 year old ... i mean this is NOT what halloween should be...

 

There is a reason we have a general discussion forum, just for stuff like this.

 

i'm very sorry to hear that. i hate disappointing children

 

i never thought about trick or treating at apartments. why didn't you go to some houses?

 

around here, apartments were jackpot.

houses - not so much.

but i haven't gone out in like 3yrs, but yeah i remember when i used to fill like 2 pillow sacks of candy...

 

That sounds like such a disappointment. I'm sorry your daughter had to experience Halloween in such a rude neighborhood.

 

Only 3 kids showed up at our door...

Not the same any more

damn, thats exactly how i remember halloween when i was younger..

 

Ya man, i remember when the street was FULL of kids.

hell im only 21.

The last 3 years have been brutal, barely any kids.

Its all the f*ckin sicko's out there putting razors in candy, and drugs.

 

hell i never even thought about razors in candy. gotta check my sisters bag now

 

i guess people have just lost the spirit of halloween. Just like people are loosing spirit of all the other holidays Christmas, Eid, Passover, Easter, Diwali etc. etc.

So much for technological advancements... son doesn't know his father anymore 'cuz dad is too busy working 7a to 10p.m.

But i guess that is life ... people grow out of everything. I remember when i was growing up didn't know anything about ANYTHING; all i had in mind was mischief and playing with my friends. Now a days kids are more grown up than some of the adults.

I don't know i just really have been bumped after my halloween experience

 

maybe it's just us, getting older .
