In my late teens I wanted to be an adult, and resented it when mom made me take my younger sibling trick or treating. Most houses we went to would offer or even insist that I take candy even though I had no costume or bag to put it in.

These days when I take my own kids out there seem to be more and more older kids out. I wish I had still enjoyed it at their age.

I wholeheartedly encourage you and your SO to go out. Everyone should have the privilege to experience Halloween to the fullest. You might run into a Karen or two that disapproves, but f them. Remember you are not the problem, they are. They're the sort of person that will find some reason to look down on you no matter what. Don't let them spoil the fun!
