in thinking taking a photo of all the eggs your DC have and posting on FB is a bit sad?

Loads of photos of eggs lined up "look how good the Easter bunny has been" "spoilt rotten" I think it's a bit sad really.

Look at all the unhealthy crap we bought our kids aren't we great? Defeats the real purpose of Easter and also all this overbuying when there's so much child poverty.

Ours got a few eggs and a few for an egg hunt. I'm just an Easter bunny bah humbug aren't I?

YADNBU I hate these bragging photos. Same with photos of children posing with their opened christmas presents. Just bad taste IMO

OP you are not an Easter Bunny bah humbug if you made a hunt for them. I didn't. We went shopping on Friday and bought them an egg each then and there right in front of them to go with their other two eggs that they got from families.

I was going to put up a pic on FB of the tiny dent (she ate about two square inches) DD had made in one of her three eggs before getting bored, because I thought it was quite funny, but then I realised that PILs would see it and didn't want to appear ungrateful (even though I wish they wouldn't waste their money on huge eggs that don't get eaten). As they bought two of the eggs, it would probably have seemed a bit passive aggressive.

Personally, I think that if you can't ignore the crap people post on Facebook you need to delete your account.

I 'shared' that I'd bought a plug adaptor from Amazon a few months back hoping my FB friends would get the joke. No one commented and so I can only presume that they all thought I was actually wanting to let people know about this crucial (and brag-worthy) purchase.

You'd have to be bloody quick in this house for there to be enough chocolate left to compose a halfway decent boast photographic commemoration.

I post mine so that people have something insignificant to moan about.

Although I am sure they'd find something if I didn't. Smile

My 40 year old SIL has posted a photo of all her Easter eggs on Facebook. It's even weirder when an adult does it.

I have people on my FB playing out an 'I love the kids more then him/her' saga, pics of miserable looking kids trying to fake smile, the lot! So a few eggs don't really match upHmm

YANBU. It's showing off.

Aribura · 08/04/2012 23:53

YANBU. And I actually think it's gross how many eggs children get. I sometimes got 2 or 3 as a child, if they were on offer. I think even that was a bit over the top.
