If you spend money on your kids costumes don't you want to see them wearing them. Don't see what the big deal would be for you to change your plans a little to spend a little time with your kids. I'm sure your friends wifes feel the same way.

I don't think that ur wife should make a big deal about it. Unless, taking you girls trick or treating has been a family tradition and you did not give it priority over your hunting trip this year. She should consider taking them to a nearby church or community center, where they may be having halloween parties. That would be safer then walking down the streets alone with them. She needs to be more resourceful and allow you to enjoy your own time. Some women are too needy and if you like that about her.....great!! But she is teaching her girls to be that way too, if she tells them how she feels about you abandoning them on Halloween. It would be different if it was Christmas, Thanksgiving or even their birthday.

But you know.....if mama ain't happy, no body's happy. Consider talking to her about it with out arguing about it. If it turn into an argument, then postpone your trip. If she is not willing to compromise then you have stronger issues to deal with in the future.

Family comes first my friend and because you just moved to a new town you should cancel your plans and hang with the wife and kids. After all, moments like these won't last forever. Yes I think your wrong, but I understand where your coming from.

Why have kids if you can't be there for them and it's important to them? You can hunt on another weekend with your buddy. This is something that your girls will remember about you always. Let them be able to say that our Dad took us trick-or-treating when we moved to our new town.

I remembered my Dad used to bring my bike to my elementary school a he walked while I rode it home. Kids NEVER forget things like that, not even after they are grown and married.

yes, you are wrong put your self in her position...she does not know the people around the neighbor hood..and plus i don't think you would want your wife and kids walking around at night by there self's

just change your plans to the next week...at the end you will still go to your camping trip

No I dont think you're in the wrong - maybe your wife could take the girls while its still light out, or go for a walk the day before to get a feel for the area so she wont get lost. To be honest I think thats just a petty excuse.

Your FAMILY will be happy to have you around during the festive period. She's so nice to allow you go for a short trip with your friends so why not be considerate & postpone your trip. Life is all about give & take policy.

I wonder what you will hunt on Halloween night or will IT hunt YOUUUUUUU....

you can go on a hunting trip anytime of the year whereas halloween only comes once stay with your family and have fun :D hope i was some help :) p,s your not exactly wrong but i thing the best thing is to say home

Yes. they are your children as well as your wife's and halloween is a big part of a kids life, they look foward to it all year and they wont there dad there, you should go the weekend after.

Yes because it's a new town and she is nervous to be walking around in the dark with your little girls. It's scary as a woman to be out alone but to have small children as well? Yikes!
