... to decline Easter Eggs for DCs?

[HorryIsUpduffed]

I think I am being totally reasonable and sane, but the reaction I got made me wonder.

As I left the house for the school run earlier, an elderly widowed neighbour asked if it would be ok if she bought my DCs Easter eggs.

They already get so much chocolate at Easter, despite our repeated represehtations to well meaning family, that we don't get them any, and still end up melting some down for rice crispy cakes.

So I thanked her profusely for thinking of us so kindly, but firmly said that they are already overprovided, so please don't bother.

She looked quite put out.

I've gone over the conversation and I know I wasn't rude - in fact I made a point of thanking her for her generosity at least three times.

WIBU?

Over provided! Over provided! Poor woman probably had to go and get a dictionary out to find out what that one meant- sounds like management speak! And you can definitely not ever have too much chocolate- what do you use when PMT strikes or are you a man?

Seriously though, did you not think she maybe would have been cheered by buying your children eggs, she may well be lonely or just a nice person. You should definitely go and make amends with her - being neighbourly is not rocket science.

Crazymaddy I'm guessing your PMT or a man comment was aimed at me. This country has an obsession with poor quality cheap chocolate. I like a little bit of good quality chocolate very occasionally. Partly because one Easter I ate to much and put myself off (didn't touch the stuff for about 2 years). I am most definitely not a man and when suffering PMT A door stop sandwich of thick white bread with mayo and cheese are what do it for me. But like I said, in these parts I'm considered odd.

Don't worry, Fejoia, I think it was all aimed at me
