This dad went off on his Facebook post about how he's just plain old fed up with parents handing out cheap Halloween candy to kids. It's got just the right amount of delusional choosing beggar entitlement that we're fairly confident it's got to be a joke. There's just no way a dad would go this far. We've got to hope, at least.

    Text - Halloween is officially 6 weeks away, and I was hoping to catch you all before you make your candy selections.

    Text - For the elderly who hand out coins, unless you plan on throwing some quarters into the mix, stop peddling your pennies and step up your game this Halloween.

    Text - For those who do not want to take my advice, let it be known that this year, there are several of us parents patrolling and monitoring the candy distribution of houses in our neighborhood.

We will also be noting your address and creating/ selling a color-coded map for the 2020 Halloween seaso

    Text - LadyMjolnir 5d Only parents would pay attention and tag houses depending on who gives what. They're the ones with time on their hands. The kiddos don't care, they just want stuff My front door is around a corner and up a hill from the main neighborhood, so kids don't often make the trek. I suspect it's the parents who don't want to follow them all this way. For this reason I give out Costco sized candy bars. Word has gotten out, but we still only get a small handful of kids. But last year
