in dreading tomorrow's inevitable threads about Facebook bragging about Easter eggs?

[ElizabethHoover]

EVERY BLOODY YEAR.

never mind the weirdos who photograph easter eggs

no one needs to be rich to buy crap chocolate easter eggs

au contraire

It was a joke

Post the picture Noeuf. You can pixelate the eggs to protect their identity.

Mountain of eggs, no problem, though a bit weird to post on fb

Mountain of expensive presnets, yabu and possibly even nasty to post on fb

And i know someone will disagree but meh.

Thank you OP for providing the thread where people can do exactly what you were dreading.

And theres a thread every year because people do it every year and mn has tonnes of members who werent here last easter.

So YABU, check your (member of longer than a year) privilege

I thought the irritation wasn't with the egg pics themselves but with the threads on here that are irritated with the eggs pics. (See link above)

Lol at boot camp. Even more kolling at check your privilege

Not fb. But still same theme www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2348254-Since-when-has-easter-be-some-the-new-christams

Never any bragging on my fb feed.

I pick my friends carefully.

We have no Easter eggs! Do I win the boasting?? We've been away all week and ds (9) said he wasn't bothered about having an Easter egg, so we've just not bought any.

It's like FB bingo on these threads, with all the usual anti-FB stuff, and two for the price of one here - anti-Easter egg bingo. Does it really matter how many pictures people put on of their Easter eggs??

Last year I was a bit disorganised so I just ended up buying some small eggs and hiding them around the garden. The kids loved it so now we plan to do an Easter egg hunt at home every year. A few of my FB friends like to rant about people who do Easter egg hunts. Apparently it's American. Still doing it though.

When my first FB friend posted a picture of an Easter basket I was prepared to be outraged, but it was very small and tastefully done. Even my friend who gave her 2 year old daughter a massive haul last year including stuffed toys, a huge Lindt Easter bunny, 24 creme eggs and much much more seems to have kept things relatively low key this year.

So many people in general complain about OTT Easter being too American- I am American and I grew up having an egg hunt ever year but with real, hard boiled eggs. The whole point was how much fun it is to paint/ colour them and then hunt them- nothing to do chocolate at all!

Also, Easter presents and choc eggs are not traditionally American either. We don't have big choc eggs wrapped in their own box like here. We give a child an Easter basket lined with that fake grass and filled with sweets like jelly beans and marshmallow peeps. There might have been one cadbury creme egg in there and that was it for chocolate. It really wasn't pounds of the stuff. There might be one cuddly toy or small pocket money type toy in the basket as well. We have the Easter bunny but he doesn't bring presents, just the basket.

I think all this over the top holiday celebration is more a generational thing whereas now DC have so much more of everything, and are the focus of the family.

loads of bragging posts on my facebook today my one friend has 7 children and an extended family they all buy the children easter eggs each year she has a room full usually

i asked my family to stop they really dont need them so we usually get ignored for being spoil sports now but they go to waste my kids are overly energetic children chocolate is not what i want for them BUY A TEDDY DAMMIT!

Oh, and while I'm at it, banoffee pie is not American either. Doesn't exist at all in the States.

I gave one friend who has posted pics of "Easter morning" which appears to be a modified Christmas, bags and bags of presents, plus loads of eggs and chocolate.

Mind I was about to defriend her anyway as she's one of those juice plus mlm people and constantly spamming about her wonderful work balance and trying to recruit people.

Bragging about Easter eggs. Like it's a big achievement going out buying an Easter egg.
Your face book friends sure need to get out more,!

Um... I posted a photo of my Easter egg on fb.

I didn't put any of the children's on though.

Mine was a bit lovely to look at and really lovely to eat.

Aw shit, I didn't post any pictures of eggs, but I did post about what a wonderful parent I was to take 2 DSs and suffer see the SpongBob film. I actually wrote, 'I am a great parent.'

DS3 doesn't like very much chocolate. It makes Easter and Christmas hell. Today on the egg hunt I had to disguise a bag of Skittles and a tube of Fruit Pastilles as eggs. He got a large plastic egg containing a large pack of Crispy M and Ms (just acceptably unchocolately enough) and a pack of Haribo. What's happened to the true meaning of chocolate egg heavenEaster?

It was so good, I'm posting another photo here .

There's not a great deal left now...
