When my husband and I were discussing what to hand out for Halloween, I told him I wanted to hand out a healthier option. He flat out refused, but made a valid point. He said,"So many parents push that healthy eating crap on kids now, and Trick-or-treating is their chance to break free of that."
After I pointed out that I was trying very hard to eat "that healthy crap" I also pointed out that kids also regularly get candy at Christmas, Easter, Valentines, and Birthdays. Inevitably, I gave in and we bought a big bag of chocolate for the kids. Still, in the back of my mind, I kind of wish we would have bought mini bags of popcorn, or cool pencils or something... Maybe next year I can convince him to have TWO options, a healthy and candy and let the kids decide.
ANYWAY.....
I was wondering if anyone else feels guilty for passing out candy instead of healthier options... or if you do hand out better choices, what do you hand out?
