But this disgusting useless woman will not understand why her children won't be here for her when she will be old as f**k, and alone. And will probably still think she did the right thing .

in case anyone was confused about Bean Dad (like i was), he let his 9yo daughter go hungry for six hours because he wanted her to use a can opener herself, without guidance, and then thought it was inspiring to post about. here: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eq1986KXIAA8IZ0?format=jpg&name=large https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eq199eKXYAEZfCy?format=jpg&name=large

A lot of parents don't want their kids having all that candy. Some people do "Switch Witch" which is a more fun version of this tradition, where you leave your candy on the kitchen table, and "Switch Witch" comes in the night and takes it, and leaves a toy in its place. Other parents ration the candy, or let the kid choose a certain number of pieces to keep, and bag the rest up to donate to the food bank, or to "donate to the children's hospital, so all the sick kids who couldn't go trick-or-treating can have candy too". Sometimes parenting doesn't mean making your kid happy, but rather helping them understand why they shouldn't always have everything they want. Just taking it all and binning it is kind of evil, tho.

I thought that my strict mother was extreme. But, even she let us eat our Halloween candy, albeit in moderation. This woman is just cruel, and is proud of it. Nasty.

i don’t care WHAT excuses that lady has if she was MY mom she would be getting a face full of my tears, other various fluids, and maybe some razors

How to ensure your children never trust you and have lifelong issues with junk food, chapter 1... Just teach your kids moderation instead. Or don't let them go to too many houses if you don't want them to have too much candy. There are so many better alternatives to this nonsense.

And this woman will be wondering why her kids - at such an early age - are always down at the courthouse researching which nursing home has the most judgements against it.

The internet replied swell on this one! Abusive parenting never works out

I wonder what other horrible things she does cause with this kind of mentality, it's not the only one-off.

She's going to hell, y'all.

This woman is unhinged and gets off on abuse.

Yes, go trick-or-treating! And when you come home, I'll throw it all to trash, because it's tradition. Hope this person is just a troll, because I don't see any logical reason for this. Too much candy at once? Ration it, or donate something to food bank. Throwing it into trash is idiotic. Not to mention what children think about it.

The kids should have hid their candy at a friend's house and then hide it in their school locker. What a Grinch!

Sometimes I feel like I'm not a good mom because I don't keep a super organized home and I don't make dinner every night and all that... and then I read about moms like these and I just want to hug my kid because WHY. Why on earth would you be actively and willfully cruel to someone who, in their very short life, has had nothing but love for you?

As a person who is (mostly) recovered from an ED and a recovering alcoholic...this is a major contributor to BOTH situations because the covert behavior and secrecy and shame (which all contribute to the cycle that makes you keep doing it) is somehow...perversely celebrated? This is why mental and psychological abuse should be a crime in all states (it's generally not)

What an egotistical, selfish excuse for a parent. A parent can set limits without being this kind of a jerk.

This woman reeks of narcissism, and I feel sorry for her kids who are probably still too young to really get that her behavior is cruel and abnormal. This is coming from someone who had an emotionally abusive mother himself and even she never messed with my candy.

Halloween is a wonderful time to teach children about moderation and (an attempt at) self control but these actual villains just wanna abuse their kids instead. Wild.

Proof positive that those in the "mental health" field are often more sick and twisted than those they pretext want to help.

Instead of teaching to kids to be moderate, the a*****e mother choose food wastage and the kids have no idea why.

Hope her ex-husband files for, and gets, full custody of the kids.

Poor kiddos and what a waste of candy as well if im honest makes me angry I'd at least donate candy to people Like every Halloween I go trick or treating and then I go to the children's hospital and give the kids candy and yes I ask for the parents permission and they love it seeing their kids be happy it brings me so much joy.

I wonder what she though the response would be. People post completely normal things and the internet rips them to shreds. And she puts this c**p up there?? She has a rude and shocking awakening coming for her in many ways.

Someone should call CPS on her.

Wow. She'll need 3 jobs to pay for therapy, but she probably doesn't believe in that either🙄. She's gonna be one of those people that die alone in their home and get eaten by their pets...except for the part where it's a shame her kids abandoned her. Imagine thinking you're cool for treating your children like c**p and teasing them by allowing them to get the candy knowing full well that you're only going to throw it away so they probably make themselves sick trying to eat as much as they can in one night. That sounds like excellent behavior to pass on to the next generation.

Can't exactly call it abuse, but I do feel it's a bit extreme. Should ration their candy instead, to teach them self control and budgeting skills.
