My mom ate the leftover candy that she’d bought for the trick or treaters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-eat-your-halloween-candy#post-281424 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:38:37 +0000 purrpletulips 281424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope but my grandfather would charge each of us grandkids 2 mini-hershey bars for allowing us to trick or treat at his house :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-eat-your-halloween-candy#post-280903 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 20:19:33 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 280903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents only like gross candy so they ate all the ones I hated and that was a win win. I loved the sugary,chewy stuff and my mom ate the gross coconut or caramel stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-eat-your-halloween-candy#post-280489 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 11:18:31 +0000 heffalump 280489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Oh that's not cool! My mom would sneak a few pieces here and there. I would know because I would sort it out so I knew how much of each kind I had. But my mom is such a chocolate lover it was pretty much expected. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-eat-your-halloween-candy#post-280379 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 09:05:54 +0000 junebugmama 280379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents "policed" the candy. I think we were allowed 2-3 pieces a day or something. Now my father owned a construction company so during the 90's he was building large housing developments. He would take us trick-or-treating there and we would get TONS of candy. More than a pillowcase worth. Somehow though we never had candy until Christmas...so my assumption as an adult would be yes, they ate it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-eat-your-halloween-candy#post-280354 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 08:38:12 +0000 sorrycharlie 280354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mom tried to, but I was a stickler...I counted as soon as I got home from trick or treating and kept a list! HAHA I knew if anything was missing.</p> <p>if she or my dad asked, though, I'd give them a piece. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-eat-your-halloween-candy#post-280334 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 08:17:39 +0000 prettylizy 280334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would put all the candy in a big pot in te dining room for everyone to share. We all ate some. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-eat-your-halloween-candy#post-280324 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 08:02:20 +0000 Andrea 280324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: But my mom would literally eat ALL of mine! Ah well, better for her to have the sugar and fat than me, right? I just wasn't thinking that way as a little kid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-eat-your-halloween-candy#post-280104 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 21:47:12 +0000 bpcmarj 280104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Dad always wanted a snickers. Obviously, he had to test them to "make sure they wereb't poison". Also, the "candy witch" would come in the night and steal candy (but would always steal the kind Mom and Dad liked! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-eat-your-halloween-candy#post-280033 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:44:34 +0000 heffalump 280033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom would sneak some. I think you have a right to as a parent though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-eat-your-halloween-candy#post-279970 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:33:15 +0000 yoursilverlining 279970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>some....they used to tell us there was a "parent tax" so they got to steal a few choice bars for taking us trick-or-treating. I'm totally going to "parent-tax" E's candy for a snickers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-eat-your-halloween-candy#post-279957 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:10:47 +0000 cvbee 279957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bet they ate some when we weren't looking!
