How early were you? Yesterday we got a knock on the door at 3pm from someone asking for candy. My mom had just gone to the store to pick up some treats and we didn't have anything at the moment. I asked the kid and his mom to come back later, and she started to bitch at me for "not being prepared." My town has an ordinance that trick-or-treating start at 5:30pm and no earlier. Everyone who lives here knows this, because they hand out fliers and it has been like that for ten or more years. I closed the door on her and she pounded again, calling me a bitch. Now, I am sure Op was nice about it, but trick or treating usually starts during dusk and people don't have to give candy to your kid just because you ask. She was horribly rude, but the general rule of thumb is after dark and if the porch light is off they don't want to take part.

I think I would get sad to, especially since I would have to share face with my parent.

Wow, welcome to the neighborhood huh? Now your son knows which house to egg/toilet paper when he's old enough!

How awful, she needs to be bitch slapped for hurting your kid's feelings, it is never okay to slam a door in someone's face.

And that's when you go through the back window to get her to give your son candies. Like Big Daddy.

I'm sorry that was his 1st experience. I hope he wasn't too upset to continue trick or treating. Maybe take him out for ice cream so he still feels like he's getting a treat?

I can understand if she didn't have candy or for some reason their is a trick-or- treat time ordinance where Op lives, but you never slam a door in a two year olds face...poor kiddo hope the rest of the houses were nice.

What a little bitch .

I refused to hand out candy until the sun went down. And my porch light was off. People seem to have forgotten that rule, it seems. Especially here.

no treat? Time for some trick!
