Those scumbags should have sat outside their house, prostrated in dogeza, loudly apologizing to the next 20 children to walk by.

Guy seems smart. I can definitely attest that none of the kids I knew in high school whose parents let them have beer grew up to be raging alcoholics. But only because "grew up" implies gaining some form of maturity.

I could see offering your kid a sip of booze under the assumption that when they actually taste it they'll just pull a face and go "gross, no thanks" and stop asking If they attempt to power through the whole bottle it is not good parenting to let them finish a controversial and courageous take I know

The difference is that already-eaten candy can't be given away, that would be gross and unsanitary. Also yeah, eating 10 pieces of candy in one sitting is pretty gluttonous When costumed children come to the door you give them some candy if you have any, those are the very simple rules of Halloween. Setting aside candy for yourself to eat the next day makes no sense

They are absolutely both fatty pig people, yes, this is true, but that's no reason to deny the children further candy that hasn't even been eaten yet Veni Vidi Ameche keeps talking about "the children" like they are a single entity that has already taken quite enough of YOUR CANDY already, it's weird. If a kid is at your door now, it's because you haven't given them any candy yet. It doesn't matter if you already gave some other kid some candy.

In re  dad, I'm thinking that giving the daughter beer was the straw that broke the camel's back. Based on his writing, he has a lovely opinion of his wife. It might be because he's pissed that she just left him, but I bet it's not.

Is this another american thing? drat, lettin' kids sips some wine or beer or whatever at that age is pretty normal for most places. My mom got drunk as poo poo and was throwing up at a party once because 6 year old her kept nicely asking the adults to "just taste of sip" of their wine at a party. Her parents just laughed and told everyone not to give her any more sips, no one was divorced or accused of malicious poisoning. I mean drat I'd always squirt a bit of my grandma's box wine into my apple juice around that age. I thought I was sneaky as hell but the adults knew, they just kept an eye on me to make sure it was never more than a teaspoon or two. Your 10 year old got buzzed once, no big deal. Giving her a sip was probably fine but take it away from her sooner next time, lesson learned, no need for drama.

As I understand it, the underlying rationale for Europeans giving kids shandy or vin ordinaire or whatever is an understanding that the booze in question is so weak they won't actually get drunk from it. As the kind of guy who refuses to call an IPA a beer, this OP was probably drinking 8% ABV tallboys. Purposely giving a 6-year-old enough grown-up booze that they're visibly tipsy is a Bad Idea even if this incident is taken in isolation rather than assuming the OP's parenting judgment is bad enough that he does poo poo like this all the time, which seems like a reasonable assumption to me.

QuarkJets posted:Yes, that's correct. More children came when they only had the wife's candy left and the wife was like "don't you give any of my candy to the children!!" No. It's not correct. Keeping 2% of the candy for yourself is not some insane greed-monster move. No child's Halloween was ruined for want of eight mini-chocolates at one house. It's ridiculous that people are so invested in pretending it is. It also has nothing to do with the husband treating his wife like a child, as if her wishes were optional things to be discarded because he felt like it. LadyPictureShow posted:It's a stupid problem with an easy fix. You're right. It's a stupid problem. It's also not the important problem in that post. Bogus Adventure posted:Is it hosed up that the husband didn't respect the wife's preferences? Yeah. She doesn't, though. They gave out hundreds of pieces of candy to many children. If that post said, "We bought 200 pieces of candy, and gave it all out," you'd think they were great people. Instead, they bought > 300, ate twenty, and the wife is now a villain because she asked for ten more? That makes no sense. This is the just the dumbest thing. The husband treats his wife like a child, and completely disrespects her, and a bunch of people manage to get invested in proving that she could have bought more candy the next day.

Like, in the case of BaronJutter's mom, there's "our wily six-year-old tricked us into accidentally letting her get drunk" and then there's "this six-year-old's father gave her enough beer to get her drunk, by himself, on purpose, for reasons he will not elaborate upon"InediblePenguin posted:"i want to save a handful of candy for myself" was what the bad lion in the lion king wanted, right? "Mean Old Mr Goonson wants to keep all the Halloween candy for himself rather than giving it to the neighborhood children" could be the plot of a Halloween episode of some cartoon or other

From r/legaladvice:quote:I’ve been looking to settle down recently and met a gorgeous girl on tinder where we hit it off instantly and have been pursuing a relationship for the past 3 months. Yes, this includes the physical side (obviously before i found out her real age). We have discussed age-specific things before, and she has always seemed so well versed in her high school days and uni work that I never even noticed anything was up. The age on her profile is 19, and I never thought to doubt it because she looks about 20 anyway and has the maturity of someone around that age too. She asked me to grab some cash out of her wallet yesterday and I found an old ID with her real birth year on it— 2003. I haven’t confronted her on it, and personally have no idea how to even begin. I was falling in love with her and now I feel completely duped. Obviously I haven’t pursued any sexual stuff with her after I found out, but I am so heartbroken. I’m not a pedophile but really have no idea how to deal with this! Any advice is appreciated The braces should have given things away. Did he give her any beer, though?

He got Mufasa dead and Simba exiled with the help of the hyenas. If he was a smart villain he would have turned on the hyenas after getting the throne knowing they would ruin the kingdom. If the hyenas tried to narc on him who are the lionesses going to believe? Whew, I have been holding that rant inside for decades. Feels good to get it off my chest.

Also there's fairly limited studies done but everything I just googled points to giving your kids sips in the hopes it will de-mystify booze and lay the foundation for a healthier drinking habits when they're adults doesn't quite work out. It seems to just make drinking a bit more normalized to them so they start earlier and heavier. I couldn't find if it helped in the long run though, just that kids who got sips started drinking for reals a few years before kids who were not. So don't give your kids sips out of some idea that it will inoculate them to protect them from binge drinking later on. Give them sips to get them to shut up and go to bed, but make sure they don't narc on you to mom.

How the gently caress would the kids know if they ran out of candy because they gave it all out as opposed to eating it? Are they assholes if they didn't eat it, but underestimated the amount of traffic they were going to have and run out? What about people who don't care about halloween but ate some candy on that day? Are they horrible assholes because they should have saved that candy for the random kids that may come to their door? Some of you people are seriously broken.

Some nice children down the road have about 100 puppies, and my wife asked me to help her kidnap those puppies so that she could kill them and make a fur coat. I feel like this may cross a line but Yawgmoth assures me that it's better to respect the stated desires of those close to me over the whims of those who are not so I guess I'm shopping for ski masks and plastic tarps now
