You have valid reasons for your choice and you should stick with them! Push that guilt aside. If it helps, I also start throwing away Halloween candy that I know won't get eaten, or once we pass Thanksgiving.

Thank you for this - do you throw it away in small portions secretly leading up to Thanksgiving?

I know one parent who told her young kid that Halloween candy expires on thanksgiving. I was sort of lucky. My kid didn’t want to eat it anyway. but the expiration lie didn't exactly work on my husband. 🤣
