TikToker and mom KC Davis explained how she lets her kids decide on their own intake of Halloween candy—and sparked a debate about her methods.

A mom on TikTok launched quite the discussion after revealing she lets her kids eat however much Halloween candy they desire after trick-or-treating.

Her argument?


It will all be gone in a few days, anyway.

TikToker and mom KC Davis (@domesticblisters) took to the platform to address the many Halloween candy advice videos she's seen about regulating children's post-door-to-door intake.

Her strategy, however, was to not have one: Let the kids eat the candy.

Davis began:

"So, as a parent, I think really intentionally about parenting choices, and so here's what we do when it comes to trick-or-treat candy..."

She continued:

"We do take our children trick-or-treating, and we go for a while and they get big, huge buckets of candy."
"We get home and we allow them to eat as much candy as they want on Halloween night, and then when they wake up in the morning, we allow them to eat as much as they want that next day."

Davis then explained:

"We just keep doing that until the candy's gone."
"I have never seen more people afraid of f**king two-three days of candy before in my life. Good god, people."
"What is going on?"

The TikToker went on:

"Just let them binge on candy for three days and then it's gone."
"What is happening? They'll be fine."

She also added:

"I'm going to eat fistfuls of it after they go to bed, anyway."
"It's only gonna last three days. It's gonna be fine."

Easy to remember easy to implement


While several in the comments acknowledged that Davis' strategy is wildly different than the parameters set on their stash growing up, many agreed with her take.

Several also noted the benefits of not extending sugar intake over several months.

And those who did grow up without Halloween candy restrictions added their input, as well.
