SIL didn’t get DD an egg bc she’s “too old”

[Eastereggcheek]

SIL has bought my younger DD, 13, an easter egg but not my older DD, 18, because she’s now an adult. I was absolutely furious when I found out! What an absolute cheek! You don’t buy one without the other. I haven’t given younger DD her egg yet as I don’t want my older one to feel left out. I’m going to go to the shops in a bit and get one for older DD and pretend it’s from SIL!

Would you find this inconsiderate? I would never have the nerve to be this spiteful!

Or buy herself one. It has to stop at some point.

@Eastereggcheek I think you need to get some interests. I don't think anyone bought mine Easter eggs once they were younger teens.

I’m going to go to the shops in a bit and get one for older DD and pretend it’s from SIL!

Don't do this. That's completely nuts.

So you think your Eldest should get a Easter egg until the youngest reaches 18, so your eldest would still get an egg age 23 ! Give your head a wobble. Or even worse do you think they should get an egg even at the age of 40 or 50 ! If so you really need to have a word with yourself.

Meanwhile there's children abroad starving to death who haven't got enough food to live on, let alone an Easter Egg.🙄

Furious is perhaps OVER-EGGING it a bit???

not so much petulant, just equally childish as her Mother.

Yabu. And not teaching your elder daughter a good lesson in growing up. Your poor Sil. A simple " thanks so much, that's so thoughtful. The girls get so much, please don't feel you need to spend on them too." Would be appropriate... can't believe you're kicking up a fuss

Consider it a bit of very necessary character building for the both of you.

Trsut me, even 12 yr olds dont want an EGG of any type.

it's a bit odd

Assuming you mean 18yo and not 18mo - does she even really care? I can't imagine being put out by this. If she genuinely thinks it's unfair point out all the things she can do because she's 18 (get a job for her own money, drive, go out with friends) that 13yo can't do yet.

No, that would be unfair on the younger children. There is 8 years between me and my youngest sibling. I didn’t need to keep getting Easter eggs until I was 26 🤣🤣🤣

I couldn't get worked up about it and your DD is 18 - an adult. So her aunt not buying an egg is pretty reasonable in my view. "furious" seems way over the top - at the end of the day it's a small (thin!) piece of expensive chocolate.

If DD is still in Y13, yes, she should have been given an egg. Different story if she’s at uni…

You're massively overreacting. She is not resting them differently if she gets both of them eggs until they are 18. I'm sure your 18 year old daughter is not distraught and heartbroken over an Easter egg.

But fele free to cut her out of you and your daughters lives if you feel so strongly.

Not many have caught on yet.... just blindly posting YABU

So if you had another child now does that mean she is now committed to buying Easter eggs for all 3 until that new child turns 18?

It's absolutely normal to stop buying gifts or eggs at 18 🤷‍♀️
I couldn't get myself worked up over an egg😳

Your money your choice.

Her SIL has the right to continue to buy for both or stop at 18 and OP is ridiculous to throw a strop about it.

OP can buy both her kids Easter eggs so it's not like her DD is not getting any egg at all.

Well then tell your SIL not to buy either of them ester eggs going forward, sorted.

I feel the same, I’m 39, my nanny bought my 2 daughters eggs and not me! The absolute audacity, it’s like Xmas, she’ll buy them advent calendars, where’s mine?? Your to old! Erm and your old enough for a nursing home lady…..people now a days!

@Eastereggcheek

Two of mine are over 18 and one is a teen still

Grandparents bought all
Of them and respective partners an egg each and we did

My d sister however didn't buy anyone anything but that's normal for her behaviour so nobody took any notice to be fair

My other sil also
Didn't bother with any of them.

I think it's a it meh for the younger teen as having the older ones gives an excuse for family to say they aren't bothering anymore which is unfair as the older ones were def getting eggs up until they were 18

My oldest is 28 my youngest is 10 🤔
What would be fair for mine 🤣
