Mini eggs for Mother's Day.

[ChicMiss]

I get a bag from my child. Who then asks to share them. No. Absolutely no. AIBU for a bit more thought? I don't like that I'm expected to share, they've gone off in a huff and my OH is also in a huff.

Reading most of these replies I now understand why there are so many entitled kids. The mini eggs were a present. A present. Not something for the family to share on a Saturday night. It's not like it was a big tin of Roses where there are plenty to share. A bag of mini eggs takes about 5 minutes to eat, you enjoy them OP for all you do for your child. Do these children take presents to parties and expect the recipient to give them straight back because they are something the giver would like?

wow, there's another one.

There's obviously a few mothers out there with this attitude and it's really sad to think about excited kid all happy and then their own mothers ruin the day with their selfish meanness.
Poor sods

It's not the child's day. It's Mother's day.

you have that all the wrong way round.
The mother is being entitled and selfish leading to an upset child and annoyed husband.
The child will hopefully follow the dad's attitudes but if not will grow into a selfish entitled woman just like her mother

It's adults like you that teach children to be entitled a six year old child bought their mother some mini eggs and asked for one, a bloody six year old child!!!! Not a 20 year old a six year old............ Entitled is being greedy, not sharing, being ungrateful now read this.and think about the word entitled.

As my 6 DGS says ‘sharing is caring’ x

Today we're having a really nice michelin star curry at home.

The kids, my husband and my mum were all looking forward to it but I'll take your advice and tell the kids and the husband they're not haing any. After all, it's mothers day, not kids and husbands get a nice meal too day.

This is why I gave my mum liquorice allsorts, I don't like them, so I won't be sharing them lol!

I’d not begrudge any 6yo some of my mini eggs, let alone my own child.

Not agreeing with your "point" doesn't mean we are "missing" it. OP wants a faux mothers day laid on by her dh.

I never expect dh to "be bothered" by mothers day. I am not his mother. I don't expect him to arrange anything, if I want to do something on mothers day (within reason as we would both obviously go our separate ways to spend time with our own mothers) I do it and he will support it.

I never gave my mum anything beyond the school made mothers day card as a child. She would usually be spending the day with her own mum, which modelled generosity and giving to us. It made the first mothers days with her when we were adults more special. I did the same with my own dc.

These posts every year are just another example of the "me me me" generation.

You wouldn’t have a Mother’s Day if it wasn’t for your children ! Some can’t have children and are spending the day heart broken and your crying over mini eggs grow up !

Better send your DC a link to the Stately Homes thread OP, they’ll need it in the future.

I got some things for Mother’s Day about lunchtime 😂 what with losing the hour and the only “ child “ that still lives with me is 28 .
one of the items were nice chocolates and I always share , have given husband and daughter 2 each so far

YABU for having chocolate in the house and not expecting a 6 year old to want some. I bet whilst they were buying it they were eagerly anticipating sharing it with you.

I share mine with DS and DH and they're way older than 6, even if they don't always act like it <glares>

Holy crap, OP. Your DC is 6?!?!?! Share the bloody mini eggs! You've just trashed what could have been a lovely mum/child sharing experience.

They are 6!

My 12 year old asked me if he could have my chocolate I said I would share WHEN I opened it but that it was rude to ask (he is sen and emotionally he is younger than 12) he was fine with this no sulking no drama

It's a bag of mini eggs. A bag of mini eggs. If the OP wants to "enjoy" a bag of mini eggs, she can buy 10 next time she goes near any shop, keep them in a cupboard and take one out whenever she feels like, not giving any to anyone else. That's the difference between being an adult and a child.

Then she will be able to share presents that six year olds give her with the said six year old, without having to be driven by her desperate desire for cheap, commonly available chocolate.

I think mini eggs are fine and I would be happy to share them but only with a slightly older child as they are a choking hazard. If it’s a 2 year old then I would be a bit annoyed at the husband for getting something that wasn’t safe for the child to share.

Oh my god, you're serious, aren't you?

I can see the petulant, pouty lip from here and it's not on your six year old....

It's your partner who's at fault here, not the child. Get a grip

😂

What has her partner done?

I would have liked kids. Them giving me Mini Eggs, then snaffling half! I'm not pissed off, life is what it is, but to show you some perspective.

Not even a pack of mini eggs or a Terry Chocolate Orange or anything?!

Make sure your DH gets no bloody Fathers Day presents!
