✏ Rules

  1. DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
  2. No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
  3. No antinatalism struggle sessions

Did some Trick or Treating with the kids tonight (hexbear.net)

It was fun! I swear though, I saw at least two different cars with their flashers on, flowing their kids as they trick or treated. This is a tight neighborhood, you can hit like 20 houses just going down two streets. One was a mini van and I overheard the adult driving tell their kid (the doors and trunk were open) "no you get out and walk".

I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt here, maybe the parent is disabled. But 10 minutes later I saw another car on a different street doing what looked like the same thing.

Maybe its just a fluke thing! First time I've seen that though.

How was everyone else night?

i saw multiple cars following their kids like that. i also saw one family driving and getting out every house. personally unless they’re disabled i feel like that kinda ruins trick or treating. let your kid run around the neighborhood, whats really gonna happen? parents are way overly protective these days. but i guess i would be too considering im terrified at the thought of having to raise a kid in a world like this
