AIBU to buy our adult children Easter eggs?

DD bought me one this year. I was chuffed to bits 😃

My kids are 20...25 and 26 and i still buy them easter eggs...i also still do them a stocking at xmas too.

My mum still buys me an Easter egg and I'm 33 and have a toddler

I'm guessing it's your husband that thinks it weird

It’s normal to give eggs to adult children, especially if they also buy for you as their DPs and /or you all meet up to celebrate Easter with a meal.
I (aged 45) buy for my parents and they buy for me. They both love chocolate, they do lots of kind things for me (and me them) and a it’s just a nice treat for all.
If I didn’t see them often and not at Easter, I probably wouldn’t but would send flowers and a card. If I couldn’t afford it, just a card. They really like getting cards in the post as most mail is junk nowadays and they find online contact “not the same” ❤️

I still get an Easter egg from my parents and I still buy my adult sons and partners one too! You're never too old for Easter chocolate

From about the age of 10 we got DS bars of chocolate instead if eggs as you get more chocolate and less packaging for your money!
He's 27 now and we bought him artisan chocolate bars this year from a chocolate stall at our local market - including a bar decorated with a dinosaur!

I think it’s lovely to keep buying them 😊I’d love it if my mum still did, but then my mum has dementia so her days of doing things like that are long gone. Buy the damn Easter eggs and spoil your loved ones while you can!

No matter how old they get they're still our babies aren't they.

I couldn't not buy them any.

We still do stockings too, can't see me stopping that either!!

I’m 31 and my mum swore she wouldn’t be buying me an egg this year because I’m too old.. saw her on Easter Monday and she had bought my fave Lindt bunny one for me! 😂
I wouldn’t mind if she hadn’t bought one for me but I’m secretly glad she did.
I imagine when she becomes a grandmother that will be when she will stop, both of us kids don’t have children yet
Dad hasn’t bought me one since I was 18.. we don’t have a super close relationship so it’s not really surprising

YANBU, never too old for an Easter egg

Well of course they can but are you not familiar with the concept of gifts?

We buy all 3 an Easter Egg - 2 are +18 yo.
I also buy Easter Eggs for growns up. I like it.

Same @doneandone - egg hunt for my 19,18 and 12yo dc, I say to myself it’s mainly
for the youngest but I don’t think he’d care if I stopped so long as he still for the chocolate 😂 his elder sisters on the other hand would be outraged!
I still buy mine eggs but I haven’t had one as an adult ever, I think my mum stopped when I was a teen.

Dh thinks it’s nonsense but comes out to watch them scurrying about in the garden! He also thinks they are too old for stockings but he is overruled again 😂 he doesn’t really get much of a say…

My kids are 25, 22 and 19, living with me. I still buy Easter eggs every year, and hide them around the house for them to find.😂And, I will never stop.🤷‍♀️

I think I'll only stop buying for my dcs when they have their own dcs, but then I'll probably still buy for them 😬

Always nice to get an Easter egg from kids and parents, keep the childhood memories alive. Xx

I still do an Easter egg hunt for my dd19 🙈. But tbf she does it with her brother who's 11. I hide mini chocolate eggs around the room and in the kitchen and when they move into look in the kitchen I then quickly put their Easter eggs on the table so they're there when they come back in to the room. I love doing it, they still enjoy egg hunting, I'll stop when they no longer enjoy it. It is quite tongue in cheek though.

In laws buy all children ,in laws and grand kids one ages from 21 to 60

We even did an egg hunt for ours! They love it!

Mum bought me an egg. I'm 50.

Four adult family, we buy each other Easter eggs.So everyone gets three chocolatey items. I don’t care what other people do.

Oh dear, I didn't even buy my 9 and 12 year old DC one this year. In my defense, we were on holiday (well visiting where we used to live) and I knew MIL had got them something one week before Easter, plus I did spend the whole 10 days spoiling them with all the yummy food that we can't buy where we live. They didn't even mention not getting eggs!

Personally I think there is no right answer. If it makes you happy then why not?

I couldn’t vote as I don’t think it’s weird but neither do I think it’s the norm! As long as you just want to buy one because it’s a nice thing to do, rather than feeling you ‘should’ still get your adult children an Easter egg then go ahead - nothing wrong with it.

I stopped getting them only because I asked not to be given them anymore (my mother would pick the largest one possible and I have zero self control around chocolate while trying to stay in shape). I think she got me my last one when I was late 30s.

My kids are 18 and 20 and yes I got all of us (me included) and Easter egg! Adults like chocolate too!
