Please settle an argument with DH!
Kids are in their 20s.
One of us thinks this is a usual thing to do.
One thinks it is weird.
I won’t tell you which of us thinks it’s weird until later….

YABU - buying eggs for adult children is WEIRD
YANBU - buying eggs for adult children is not only usual, but LOVELY

I bought DS one. He’s 22. He didn’t eat it and has left it here and gone back to uni. It won’t still be here when he returns………

The tide has changed here.
Mum has stopped buying easter eggs for anyone.
So I have to buy my Dad one. He adores presents, and chocolate. It's a very easy, and cheap win!

To clarify- none are married but three have partners. Partners get eggs also.

I think it's a bit weird, but harmless

Not since they got married and had children. My single son still gets one.

I think it’s nice.
My Ds is still little. But as an adult if he’s here for Easter he will still get a Lindt Rabbit, as dh and I get one every year also

We all get them from my parents (age range 28-39)

Tatas · 03/04/2024 16:54

Definitely get them eggs!

I’m 36 and my mum still buys me one, and DH, and our kids.

It's not weird at all, it's a very nice thing to do!

I'm disappointed I didn't get one and I'm 44. Not even any half price ones up for grabs!
