As a child I always looked forward to trick or treating, what kid doesn’t! I remember having to wear the same costume for several years in a row and not being too happy about it but by the time the night was over and I had a big container of candy, I forgot all about that stupid costume! When my daughter was little I took her house to house to get her treats, however, I always confiscated half the bag and disbursed the rest as I saw fit. Yeah – I’m one of those mothers. I am the same mother who buys coloring books and fruit for her kid’s Easter basket. #dontjudgeme - I do pay the dental bill right? This year will be my son’s first adventure doing door to door and I will be no different. I will let him have about a quarter of the candy he collects and it will be spread out over a period of time as special treats only. I actually purchased his costume last year for like $2 after the season, however, I have no idea where it is now so I had to go out and get him another one. I initially picked up an Army costume so he could be a little soldier but when I tried it on him, it was too small so yesterday I had to run out and get another. There were no more soldier ones left L and in fact, the only two boy costumes left were a pirate or a ninja. The pirate was way to similar to what I wear complete with a head scarf, a fat belt around the waist and riding boots. I don’t want my son dressing up as momma for Halloween so Ninja it is!
Reminds me of something I heard on the radio this morning. Power105.1 (the breakfast club) had a couple on debating on if I was appropriate for their 8 year old son to dress as Nikki Minaj for Halloween. The dad felt it wasn’t cool for his son to dress up as a female because he’s “raising a man, not a female”. The mother’s point of view was it’s not that serious because he’s a kid and it’s a costume. It made me think of my own debate when deciding between the pirate and the ninja.
What do you think? Would you let your son/daughter dress up as the opposite sex for Halloween?
