To think that 10 easter eggs per child from MIL is atrocious

MIL has just dropped off 10 easter eggs each to my 3 DCs (we maintained social distancing, she left them at the end of the path).

Now dont get me wrong, I am greatful, but 10 each? Really? I think this is not only overzealous, it also undermines me. I have told her in previous years that one egg each is more than enough, and maybe a small gift, however she continues to undermine me in front of my DCs.

I have allowed my DCs to choose one egg each from the pile to go with the eggs they have already received, and the rest will be dropped off at the local food bank next week. DH thinks I am being unreasonable, and has gone upstairs in a huff Hmm Happy Easter hey?

AIBU?

@HarrySnotter Judging by your previous posts, you seem to be pretty obsessive over these bloody eggs Hmm Not that I should have to explain myself on MN (which should be a safe space for mothers to share their thoughts) I did not take a photo before taking them to the food bank...some people,!

Why try and use "safe space" for something as silly as this? You must know what safe spaces are generally used for?!
