For the first time in my adult life I’m not at college on Halloween (just graduated) and I’m passing out the candy for my household. I always knew going without a costume on Halloween was lame but now that I’m seeing it from the eyes of an adult passing out candy, I can see it is actually REALLY lame. Do y’all pass out candy to kids not wearing a costume on Halloween?

Edit: The comments here are pretty unanimously on the side of passing out candy no matter what, and I don’t disagree. Trick or treat is a very big thing in my neighborhood, so it has surprised me to see as many kids without costumes as I have. Still, I try to not make assumptions, I’ll just be a chill adult and do the job of passing out the candy either way. I appreciate yall’s input!

    Sometimes it’s not the kids’ fault. I’d say most of the time the parents need to be involved in some way with the costume (buying, making, helping to make) and some kids just don’t have present parents so I don’t want to punish them for that.

    Also I really don’t want leftover candy in my house (because I’ll eat it) so…
