Easter egg wibu

Would someone be unreasonable to be annoyed if a grandparent got one grandchild (age 5) 2 easter eggs and the other (10 months old) no eggs

Thanks. The baby already got 6 eggs and 1 chocolate bunny

That's mental. I hope they are not actually eating any?

Starlight7080 · 21/04/2025 03:44

Any sensible person knows a 10 month old does not need chocolate .

SouthLondonMum22 · 21/04/2025 03:39

Like a 10 month old would eat any other food?

Hard chocolate? At least leave it out of the fridge for a bit.

How would a ten month old even eat an easter egg? They don’t have all their teeth yet.

@NattyTurtle59 but the child's mother knows her parents clearly favour their other grandchild.
So what point are you making?

Oh dont be ridiculous!

How on earth is not buying a box of expensive crap chocolate for a child that wont (or at least shouldnt) eat it, is proof of favouring one grandchild over another?!

This sounds like the same poster who bought special outfits and "props" (whatever the hell they are) for SM photos for childs first Easter.

@Hi877 Did they buy an egg for your 5 year old at their first or second easter?

LillyPJ · 21/04/2025 03:18

I'd be happy they got 2 eggs for one child and glad they'd not been daft enough to waste money on an egg for a 10 month old.

I doubt a 10 month old is keeping count and that is a lot of chocolate!
Sometimes gp give the dgc sweets and they’re rotting their teeth, other times they don’t and they’re mean. Can’t win.

Lostsadandconfused · 21/04/2025 02:55

Why do you need to buy anything for a 10 month old? They have no idea of the concept of Easter, or even what a present is.

@IHaveAlwaysLivedintheCastle How exactly is it ridiculous?
It's Easter and chocolate eggs are Easter gifts and (shock fucking horror) Kids including babies like chocolate.

Your ridiculous for thinking otherwise.

And for everyone else saying babies don't need chocolate well guess what nobody needs fucking chocolate but still eat it!

Well no one needs chocolate at any age 🤷🏻‍♀️
I got my 9 month old granddaughter a Thorntons white chocolate egg (she's only had a little up to now) but she liked it.

I think it's cruel of the grandparents not getting both children Easter gifts; horrible to give to 1 of their grandchildren but not the other.

I don't actually think a 10 month old is going to be aware of Easter, nor think it "cruel" that they weren't given a gift.

10 month olds wouldn't receive eggs but I'd expect them to get a soft toy or a book. It's not right to completely ignore them

BuffetTheDietSlayer · 21/04/2025 02:27

SnugMintFawn · 20/04/2025 23:47

I agree that a 10 month old doesn’t need an Easter egg, but I think they should have been given something - if nothing else, to set the tone for the 5 year old that they are treated equally by their grandparents/whoever.

Don’t be daft. A 10 month old and a 5 year old shouldn’t be treated the same, there is a good 4 years difference between them.

SouthLondonMum22 · 21/04/2025 02:19

My twins are about to turn 1 and they've definitely had some chocolate today but I also wouldn't care if someone didn't get them an egg.

Monty27 · 21/04/2025 02:16

@Hi877 why did dd get 2 eggs?

StarTwirl · 21/04/2025 01:04

Who on earth gives a baby an Easter egg ?

that’s just bonkers

DiscoBeat · 21/04/2025 01:02

10 month old babies don't need chocolate.

Because she wanted people to lay into her for being ‘ridiculous’ for expecting an egg for a ten month old, for her to triumphantly reveal it is in fact her sister.

Show quote history

That’s your bitchy take on it .

BeaLola · 21/04/2025 00:00

When your DD was a baby did your parents buy her Easter Eggs? If not perhaps tell your sister that before she combusts with rage

It's 10 months old, it won't know any different. These comments are utterly insane. This is why children grow up to be entitled, little brats because of their parents materialistic attitudes

Lorlorlorikeet · 20/04/2025 23:51

Stripeyanddotty · 20/04/2025 22:20

Why would you not say all that in your first post??

I wouldn't be feeding my 10 month chocolate. YABVU, ridiculous infact
