was raised like this, and yes i dealt with so many stomach aches, but that was my own issue. it didn’t affect anything and after a few days i just went on like normal 👍
Halloween combined with the influx of candy that came with Thanksgiving and Christmas- taught me moderation. Did it take several stomach aches? Definitely, but I don’t binge candy.
My parents would 'check' it to see if its tampard with, and take whatever they wanted of our candy, then give us the scraps lol. When i saw a good piece of candy land in my bucket, id either have to slide it in my pocket or just know that my parents are gonna take it lol.
I do the same thing every year. Most of the time my kids will eat candy the first night and then it sits in their room. Until we do room cleanups and they throw it away. Because of this they do not go crazy over candy.
I kept my bag by my bed and strategically planned out how to eat 1-2 pieces a night before brushing my teeth so it would last until Christmas stocking candy came into play. Kids aren’t always dumb. First time you eat yourself into a candy tummy ache coma and see you’re stuck with no candy for months you learn to have some WWII style rationing 😂
Yeah I tried to be like this, but my younger son thought that meant it's ok to eat candy after brushing his teeth at night. Over the years he needed one baby tooth pulled, and two other baby teeth needed root canals, due to cavities.
My mom is a mother of 5 plus 2 diabetics it’s diffrent for them since they can go really high and it gets life threatening she does let them have a lot if she gives them insulin
They tried to do this with my cousin but he was buying other people's Halloween candy at school and then got a stomach ulcer because he could not control himself. Id like to mention he was like a freshman in high school
This is what my mom did was when I was younger. After trick or treating me and siblings would watch a scary movie and eat a bunch of our candy, but after eating a bunch of it were just over it and didn’t want it anymore. After that, we’d maybe have a few pieces every few days whenever it started to sound good again, but we never had very much at one time anymore. Even now as an adult, I never really crave candy anymore, if it’s offered to me or it sounds good randomly, I’ll have a piece or two, but it’s a pretty uncommon thing.
My mom let us just eat it whenever for a few days, then put all of the candy on the table and me and my siblings would split it by picking one piece at a time. Then every day we could choose like four pieces to eat
At my house there was always access to sweets and candies and we literally never touched it because it was just another thing in our house like after Halloween we wouldn’t really eat much of our candy and it usually got thrown out
My youngest is 8 and if she has any sugar she gets an upset stomach. Her bio father doesnt listen and so she throws up or has stomach aches a lot. But with me she gets a piece of candy when she helps clean up her messes. Shes learned better than my ex has with all of this.. so it doesnt work with all kids sadly
My parents always said, "Throw away your trash and don't get sick", then sent us off to go watch HalloweenTown and do our candy trading. Our tradition.🙃
My adult daughter handed me a very large sack of the grandkids’ Halloween candy and asked me to donate it (food-bank, senior center, etc.). I sorted out all the items I know the kids didn’t like, and donated that. The rest are in mason jars and are given out in the kids’ lunchbox and sleepover treats at grandma’s house.
what i’ve learned from my childhood is the more u restrict certain foods the more they’ll end up wanting it, most children are very much capable of learning to eat in moderation if you give them the chance to.
my parents gave us almost no vegetables or fruit growing up to the point we ended up craving them more and more as the years went on. everytime we do get fruit it’s gone within a few secs and especially my baby sister is in love with veggies and fruit she would eat it over any food all day.
My mom did this too, and now me and my siblings don't even really like candy. Like, it wasn't a prized commodity in our house, and most of it expired before we even ate it.
My parents basically did this and I think accidentally, they never really cared but as a girl I have learned over the day to actually limit myself and know what I’m eating, it might not be the same for boys but I love it and it taught me so much
I alwaysss ate more candy by sneaking it when my parents decided all of our candy had to go in a bowl on top of the fridge so they could eat it lmaoo. honestly when it was just given to me I had my candy for wayyyy longer because I was able to moderate it
I let my little buddy eat as much as he wanted. Before, we talked about moderation and how too much could make his tummy hurt and I told him I trusted he would make the right decision. It worked very well for him and he didn’t have too much!
Until everyone’s got cancer from the crap that’s in it.

Thank you Needed to hear a person that actually said that
That’s what I did with my kids too ❤

My mom did this . They didn't hide it or give it to us when they wanted m we got to eat when we wanted
My mom is a mother of 5 plus 2 diabetics it’s diffrent for them since they can go really high and it gets life threatening she does let them have a lot if she gives them insulin
Amen

Me and my brother turned it into a competition on who could keep their candy the longest
Our parents weren't happy about it
One of my sisters and then one of my own kids would stash it and never actually eat it. Ants and candy melted into the carpet of the closet 🤦🏼♀️

Yes! This is how I do it too for my kids (4 and 9)!

Just give your kids smaller truck or treat bags. Then when it gets full, we go home.
THANK YOU!!!!
NEED MORE RUG CLEANING VIDEOS 😭😭😭😭❤️
My parents never took my candy away, and i learned to pace myself with it and make it last all year
At my house there was always access to sweets and candies and we literally never touched it because it was just another thing in our house like after Halloween we wouldn’t really eat much of our candy and it usually got thrown out
YES
You're so awesome!!!
🦖
EXACTLY!! Things like the "switch witch" are so stupid we need more people like you 😭
I'm also a mom of six. Same. 😊
What my mom would always do, but her reason was because she didn’t want to be stressed about our teeth all year 😂
My youngest is 8 and if she has any sugar she gets an upset stomach. Her bio father doesnt listen and so she throws up or has stomach aches a lot. But with me she gets a piece of candy when she helps clean up her messes. Shes learned better than my ex has with all of this.. so it doesnt work with all kids sadly
I used to horde mine tho

My child gets his Halloween candy and then doesn’t eat it. We will have Halloween candy until next Halloween.

I love this
My mom did this. By second grade I hand made a spreadsheet to make it last till the Christmas candy came.
This comment section is not it….
Time for the carpet!

I let my kids have it say eat as much as you want today.
Once Halloween is over I toss the rest out.

My parents did that and i never stopped, never got sick but destroyed my teeth.
Poison for your kids , perfect mom
Oh I agree 100%!! I don’t remember my mom ever regulating my candy eating…. That would’ve been weird.😂😂
