DEAR ABBY: My husband and I took our children trick-or-treating in my mom’s neighborhood because we live in a rural area, and there’s no trick-or-treating where we are. When we were done, we found a letter taped onto our windshield telling us how rude we were for bringing our kids trick-or-treating in a neighborhood we don’t live in.
I mentioned it to several friends and family members afterward, and the reactions were mixed. Some sided with us, and others sided with the note writer.
We’re not sure what to do from now on. Is it rude to go into another neighborhood when there is no trick-or-treating in your own? What are families who live in areas with no trick-or-treating or who live in unsafe neighborhoods supposed to do?
TRICKED, BUT NOT TREATED
Dear Abby: After trick-or-treating we found this nasty note on our car
