throwing away candy... - Debates

I'm putting this in debates b/c ti's where it will end up .
Do you let your kids have all the candy they get for halloween?
Or do you throw some away?

I probably end up throwing away half of it. They are allowed only one piece of candy a day. Mostly because Calysta has my teeth and is notorious for getting cavities. A three year old just doesn't need mountains of candy in general. That's not to say they haven't had mountains of candy before, I'm just starting to limit it more these days.

The only things that get thrown away are the stuff thats left a month later.

Between me, Tim, and Anya we can devour the candy in a pretty good time

heck no there are too many people in this house to throw away candy lol i am mean though. when the kids get home i have everyone dump there candy into a large bowl and we call it the community bowl. they are allowed a few a day if they behave ... we eat the rest lol

Actually....I put it in my sons pinata for his bday party. LOL!

I will say I do feel bad for throwing it away. I know people spend tons fo money on the candy and throwing it away is like throwing away a christmas gift.

That's how it is at our house too.

I toss or I give it to someone else.
I don't feel bad for doing it either I spend just as much and I don't care if all of it gets tossed. It's not the candy it's the experience.

Well... my husband will eat it all and not gain an ounce, so it's not a problem around here.
