Blade Runner posted:I can't imagine desperately hoarding a dollar's worth of loving candy while kids show up to your loving house trick or treating making you not broken There is a massive difference between asking your spouse to put aside a couple of piece of candy for you later and "desperately hoarding a dollar's worth of candy." One is what happened, and the other is hyperbolic nonsense.

That's a bit different from feeding it to them, of course...

Normal people would realize that it's loving candy, maybe one party would apologize and/or shrug, then one of them would pick up some candy to replace it the next time they went out because who gives a poo poo it's loving candy. Imagine this conversation was about Q-tips or something equally cheap and inane to drive the point home if you still aren't getting it. If these people are struggling with candy troubles I can't imagine how they'll deal with an actually substantial relationship issue.

Kamikaze Raider posted:Do you live somewhere where the amount of candy is displayed outside of each house, and if the number drops by some amount without kids there, do you blow some kind of whistle and publicly shame them? You don't have to hypothesize and hand-wring over this, it's fine to not give out any candy on Halloween or to accidentally run out of candy, you just turn off your house's porch lights to signal that you have no candy. More kids came this year than we expected, sorry kids we ran out. They had candy left but a big group showed up. If you have 10 pieces + 10 hidden pieces and 20 children show up, is it better to A) just give the group 10 pieces and say "heh sorry kids that's all you get, I'm eating the rest of my candy tomorrow" or do you B) give them all 20 pieces and then buy more at the store to satisfy your insatiable candy cravings?

^^^ is there a reason that "give out the 10 you have ready for kids to have, do not tell them about the 10 set aside for your wife" isn't an option?

"where are my loving PAPER TOWELS" "the kid spilled something so I had to clean it up" "I wanted those paper towels!!!" "We can go buy more they cost like" "NO!! I needed THOSE!! other ones aren't as good" This is the conversation this woman had, she is insane

I can't imagine marrying somebody that would get assblasted over having 50 cents worth of candy given away. Times must get tough for the family when the tube of toothpaste gets to the very end.

I say instead of giving out candy you steal it instead and do like a robin hood thing where you're stealing from the kids with pillow cases then you find the kids with small buckets and pelt them with the stolen candy

or what you can also do is leave your porch light on and when kids come to your door you can answer it visibly upset and yell "well what if I bought this candy for me??????" and start shoveling it into your mouth wrappers and all right in front of them

I'm gonna host a monthly chalk talk on Candy Ethics at my local public library. And my first experience with beer was Natty Light at like age 5 or whatever when my grandfather and father both gave me sips and sat there laughing at me when I made a face.
