XP: Woman wouldn't give my DS candy last night.

Because he didn't say trick or treat. I understand that people want to hear trick or treat, please, thank you, etc. I tried to explain that he has a speech delay and is only 2 but she was was would not give him the freakin pixie stick she was handing out. He didn't understand why he didn't get candy from that woman, but luckily he is too young to really understand.
It made me feel bad about what he might be facing in the future though. Blah. Other than that it was a fun night. He walked into a few houses trying to pet dogs until we got the routine going.

Re: XP: Woman wouldn't give my DS candy last night.
Oh my. Even typically-developing 2 year olds clam up and don't "perform" on command like that sometimes! What a horrid woman. I'd be sure to skip over her house on any and all future trick-or-treat trips.
I hate when you have those moments that make you worry about the future. All I can offer is to say you never know what your DS will be capable of and how he'll handle things as he grows up, and odds are good that the people who treat him with kindness will outnumber the ones who don't get it. Here's hoping that's true for all our kids, right?
This.
It just boggles my mind that someone would refuse to give out candy when 1. that is what you do when a child in a costume comes to your door on trick or treat night and 2. that you expect to hear ToT, please, and thank you from every.single.child.
OMG he is so cute I would give him my wallet!!!
That lady is heinous. Unfortunately there will always be ignorant people.
I just spit out my drink... LOL!!! He IS that cute!!
Seriously?!! This is ridiculous. There are many 1-2 year olds that come to my house and can't say trick or treat. I don't even care if they are too young to eat it and I know their parents are probably eating it...it is for the experience. Just being in a costume (or not for those who don't like to wear one), I give candy.
Also, how anyone could not give candy to him is beyond me because he looks SO adorable!!
Omg what a horrible woman.. that breaks my heart..
My ds is speech delayed as well.. he is 3.. he cant say trick or treat..(they were working at it at school when they had their halloween festivities on fri.. he somehow learned thank you though according to dh) and not one person in our neighborhood denied him any candy.. I am so sorry you had to deal with this horrible woman.
Don't let her get to you. She isn't worth it and it is no reflection on your child. Many kids his age clam up regardless of their speech development. For her to insist on speaking to get candy is just asinine!
Boo on that woman! Everyone in our 'hood was extremely kind (and generous) with Ben. Even when he ran into a couple of houses at first (at least they were our neighbors!). We got lots of kids that couldn't even bother to say it.
What a buttface.
Sorry. Out of tact today.
what an a-hole. I'm impressed you didn't egg her house.
DS is 2 w/ a speech delay and doesn't talk at all. We had one lady ask him to say ToT and I just said he doesn't talk yet. I can only imagine how I would have reacted if she'd made a big deal out of it. Not ok and certainly not nice.
