We’ve all been there.
Feigning delight when our kids go off trick-or-treating alone for the first time.
Waiting anxiously by the door for them to return.
Nervously peering out from behind the curtains as they make their way along the street by themselves.
It’s nerve-racking, and no one should have to cope with the stress.
Stacey Solomon is one mum who didn’t want to have to deal with it so she decided to spy on her two boys as they went off for their first solo trick-or-treat.
She also filmed the whole thing… including the part where one of her sons catch her in the act.
My kids are too cool to trick or treat with me & I value their want to be independent so I’m following them round hiding like a crazy woman🎃 pic.twitter.com/UCmecgedEL

The video shows her creeping around the neighbourhood after her sons, Zachery and Leighton, as they hit up some houses for some treats.
Naturally, Stacey narrates the whole debacle.
“I can find out how polite they are when I’m not around.
“They seem to be really sweet which is super cute, saying thank you and happy Halloween.
“See? Totally worth betraying their trust if you find out they’re polite little tykes.”
However, it wasn’t long before Stacey was caught rapid in the act, with one of her sons exclaiming: “We’re supposed to be on our own!”
Tragic.

The mum-of-two has been dating fellow presenter and TV personality Joe Swash for the past while now.
However, Stacey has said that she doesn’t want to have any kids with him for fear of having another child with a different man.
We’re sure that wouldn’t matter all that much, though.
