Has Halloween Gone TOO FAR?!

Has Halloween gone too far? 🎃 This week on You Don't Know You're Born, Danny Miller, Brooke Vincent and Wingman get stuck into the madness of Halloween as parents. From expensive costumes and trick-or-treating rules to pumpkin picking, Halloween parties and the latest obsession with boo baskets, are we all doing a bit too much? Brooke reveals how she accidentally tried to verify her Instagram account while dressed as a skeleton, the gang debate whether pumpkin picking is actually worth the money, and nobody can quite get their head around boo baskets. Then, in this week's Acting Up, a listener has a problem with a grandparent who refuses to follow the rules. Too many sweets, late bedtimes and spoilt children — should grandparents respect the parents' wishes, or is spoiling the grandkids all part of the job? Expect plenty of parenting chaos, questionable advice and a few spectacularly derailed conversations. 💬 Tell us in the comments: Has Halloween gone too far?
