This topic "piggybacks" on the priorities topic where we discussed what we gave up as working women and moms, what do you think our children give up...honestly!? What do you think they gain? Also please mention your own mothers status and your experience of a child as a SAH or WOH.

Here is a question for you: Since you have said that you realize that many people all over the country do things differently, you must realize that many, many people do not participate in Halloween rituals, either for religious reasons or others. Is there some reason you do not respect this particular poster's desire not to have her children participate in traditional Halloween celebrations? Do you not respect the right of other families to decide whether or not to participate in certain traditions or traditions? Would you go to an Amish family and tell them they are doing a big disservice to their children if they don't allow them to participate in mainstream culture? Would you go to a pagan family and tell them they are doing their kids a disservice if they don't participate in Christian religious rituals? A Jewish family? Would you tell a Catholic family they are doing the wrong thing by not sending their children to Reformation Day commemmorations?

Again, I think you are hearing things. I didn't know it was "nosy" to go look at something a friend pointed out on the internet. If so, there must be a lot of nosy people looking at pictures, videos, posts, and columns that their friends refer them to.

It is quite obvious you are just avoiding my question.


Actually, I don't recall you asking a question.

What gives you the right to judge what is a disservice to her children? That's akin, imo, to calling her a bad parent.

I'm not changing the subject, sorry you're having a difficult time following along.
