AIBU to buy our adult children Easter eggs?

[nameohnameohname]

Please settle an argument with DH!
Kids are in their 20s.
One of us thinks this is a usual thing to do.
One thinks it is weird.
I won’t tell you which of us thinks it’s weird until later….

YABU - buying eggs for adult children is WEIRD
YANBU - buying eggs for adult children is not only usual, but LOVELY

Well we bought for ours all in their 30s and they bought for us. I suppose we all could have just bought ourselves one but it's nice that someone else has thought about you.

I haven’t had an egg from DM for a few years (42yo) but DH and I both get Xmad stockings from our parents! I’m sure if we saw them at Easter we’d get eggs.

In my fifties and I still buy for my parents and brother and they still buy for me and my husband. Seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do!

Mum bought me one until she died when I was 62.
I buy for adult DC and their partners.
It's just a nice little token.

Mil still buys for us, as well as her grandkids.

She also buys us advent calendars.

My adult children get Easter eggs and Christmas stockings. And will continue to do so until they get married or have children of their own.

DC is 31 and still has Easter chocs.

Perfectly normal. The Easter Bunny may well have also visited adult DD's dog.

Perfectly fine, lovely and not at all weird to buy for adults. AFAIK adults like chocolate too.

Surely they can just buy it themselves?

Anyone that's in my house on Easter day gets an egg, this year it was my parents and my friend and her daughters, DP and my kids, eggs for all.

I'm 60 and my mum still buys me one

My DD is 49 and my GCs are mid 20’s. They all want Easter eggs lol 🙄

My siblings and I are in our 30’s and up until my mum died last year she always brought us one. I now buy for my younger siblings to make it a little less sad for them.

I buy them for my adult dc and partners.

It’s fine either way, myself and partner get from my parents but not PIL

I used to get a chocolate advent calendar every year from my dad u til he passed. Loved it and still miss it. Yes to Easter Eggs.

My mother in law buys us an egg each and we love it 😄
We also buy our own egg and i might treat us to an extra one

Absolutely not weird. Our DC are all grown up with their own homes but we still send them all Easter Eggs! Whoever says it's weird is a fun sponge.

My two kids are in their 40s. I buy them (and their partners) an Easter egg every year, as well as my dear granddaughter. It would be wrong not to and I get great pleasure in gifting them. And no, I don't buy the big expensive ones just one that is reminiscent of their childhood - like a chocolate buttons or mini eggs one...

I also give my independent butcher one of those 'selection' boxes of miniature Green and Black chocolate bars when he delivers my weekly order on Easter Saturday. (He gets a generous cash tip at Christmas).

I'm not quite sure why it could be considered 'unreasonable' to do so...

It's no weirder than just picking up some chocolates or sweets for a loved one simply because it's a nice thing to do.

My dad likes white chocolate so I got him a milkybar egg, just because it's a nice gesture.

I didn't send him on a hunt in the garden for it with a little basket.

Whoever thinks it's weird is seriously overthinking. But this question comes up every bloody year on Mumsnet. Along with "why didn't so and so buy my adult child an egg 😭". We've had one of those already.

My kids are in their 30s. They and their partners get ready eggs from me, and I get an egg or flowers from them.

As a pp said, why not take the opportunity for warm gestures like this when they arise?

My children have Husbands and partners to buy them eggs , I stopped doing it years ago however i don't think it's wrong to buy adult kids anything.

Absolutely get them one.

My mum doesn't know it yet but she's been down graded in care home quality because she turned up with eggs for my kids and not me!

I'm her child!!!

I buy Easter eggs for my two and their partners. It’s a fun thing to do
