Mini eggs for Mother's Day.

Sorry OP, if this is real you sound awful.

Mums are generally rarely allowed things for themselves, surely if any day they can have something for themselves, that day is today?

I share every gift with my kids...which has meant my lovely tub of rituals body cream my sister hot me is now used nightly by my 11 year old daughter

Wow I’ve received chocolates from my children and guess what we share them! What a mean mummy you sound

the kids can practise waiting to be offered, not taking all the 'nice' ones etc.

Good lord! Practise waiting to be offered?!

My husband is the most un huffy person ever, and I can honestly say even he would have ‘gone off in a huff’ if I had been so thoughtless and cruel towards our 6 year old. I’m thinking back to when she was 6, she would have been so excited to give me them, and so excited to share them…and her little face if I had refused…my husband would have been as hurt and confused as she would have been.

OP - They’re mini eggs. If you want more, buy more. You can’t buy more memories of snuggling up, appreciating the love your child shows you on Mother’s Day. You also can’t rewrite the memories your child will have of this day. Look back at your own childhood. If it’s anything like mine, you’ll remember clearly really random things that bear no correlation to each other and in many cases are totally insignificant (and I bet you also don’t remember things your parent would say were major things). I hope this isn’t one of the things your child remembers forever.

I do think it's important to teach children that mum's are allowed to have gifts to themselves and giving gifts means that the gift is for the other person.

6 is old enough to begin to understand that.

YANBU to not want to share
YABU to complain about mini eggs, that is thoughtful for a 6 year old

So you remember this feeling on Father's Day and treat your OH in the exact same way. It's not about spending money or buying something, it costs nothing to sit with a child and hand make a card - I've got so many I've kept from mine and those meant more than any generic gift could have done. It's about making an effort to say thanks for being the mother to our child.

Is it a sharing bag? They cost a fortune now.

Exactly. It’s an absolute joy to share with them when they are such excited little ones!
I can’t imagine being so cold as to receive them, thank a child, but then tell them they don’t get any.

This afternoon my mum wouldn't open her Ferrero Rocher until at least two other people said they'd also have one. They're her favourites, but she won't enjoy them anywhere near as much if she eats them all to herself.

Sounds like a blast at your gaff

My 32 yr old son got me a plastic ornamental duck. Its fkn horrendous and wont be going anywhere in my house or even garden. I just laughed. He has form for giving shit presents. One christmas i got some matches in a plastic dome thing with the intial K on them. My name begins with J..... luckily i have 2 thoughtful daughters who gave me lovely gifts( and wine) .. dont take Mothere day too seriously.!!

It's rude to ask someone to share their gift, so my kids know they should wait to be offered. However they also know that opening and eating something in the presence of others and not offering to share it, is also rude.

I would therefore offer a small piece if eating it in their presence, or I'd eat it when they're not around (and scoff the lot myself). If they ask for a piece, then the answer is no.

With this in mind and that the kids are still learning/practising their social skills, DH will usually buy me a larger sharing box of chocolates so the kids can practise waiting to be offered, not taking all the 'nice' ones etc.

Wow.
My 8 year old forgot my present, she got one at school from the mothers day shop and left it there. My 10 year old is autistic and oblivious. Nice card from her school with her hand print. My 21 year old is at uni. Glowing fb post from her today, what a sweetheart!

Mini eggs would make me happy. I dont think I've ever had a chocolate present from kids of any age who didn't want to share them! That's standard. It's the thought that counts!

My son gave me a box of chocs today then tried to nick one. I slapped his hand away and told him to piss off and get his own.

He is 25 though, so probably not what you'd do when they're little 😁 but like fuck is it unreasonable to expect your gift to be yours. Bloody hell.

The fun is in sharing

If this is actually real, your poor kid is only 6. Grow up, Princess! 😅

Lucky you having perfect teens

Have had to send my hubby out to buy me mini eggs now couldn’t stop thinking about them!!

Wow ! Hope your kid doesn't turn out as mean as you

I'm assuming this is a wind up post. If not, YABVU.

The point is to the husband. To the kid is just telling them this is her day and is ok for her to want her present for herself. It’s not about not sharing chocolate with a child, is about not accepting mothers are unimportant, but to each their own

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂 this is hilarious. As mothers we compromise so much, all the time, we take less, so that the kids can have more. Some mothers received nothing today. You received something from a lovely, thoughtful child. Be appreciative, and share. Lol...I love mini eggs too, but they're children.......lol. Buy them a pack tmrw.

Sharing your mini eggs with your child is your mother's day gift. Why would you not want to do that?
