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.

Tbh if you know thats what you get , you should graciously accept them and share ( they are 6 years old , and sharing is a good life lesson ) but already have a spare bag handy so you have plenty as that seems very important to you.
Sharing is caring !

Aww I’ve received an Easter egg for Mother’s Day every year since my eldest was a toddler and he chose it when dh took him to get a gift as ‘mummy loves Easter eggs’ he’s 15 now and he still buys me one every Mother’s Day, it’s become tradition in our house, I’d be upset not to receive my Easter egg. I think it’s lovely.

It’s already been opened as my toddler asked for some chocolate so he’s had a piece. I didn’t even think not to let him have a bit, surely your dc could have a few mini eggs.

If this is real you are ridiculous and yes, YABVU.

FFS your child is 6. Just share the eggs. It’s Mother’s Day not your Coronation.

FFS, how childish are you? Your poor daughter.

Like myself you mean! You know fuck all! So fuck off yourself! It is emotionally abusive! Get a grip!!!

I got a very tiny teddy of a hot cross bun, a pot of jam and a bag of monster munch. They picked it themselves as they know I like all those things. I love it! Although the two year old has already taken the teddy as her own.

I think you are being ridiculous, just buy more mini eggs if you are that hungry for a whole packet.

@Mumofnarnia
you don’t know the meaning of the word abuse

If the child was 16 you might have a point but 6?! You either need to get a grip or this isn't real. If you don't truly embrace the joy of shared experiences and genuine empathy your child won't learn to either

I always thought it was the done thing if you received a box of chocolates that you offer everyone one? I would be wanting to teach my 6yo it’s good to share (then hopefully when they get tons of Easter Eggs they’ll be offering me a bite 😂)

You can’t be a mother without having or raising a child though.

Surely the day is about celebrating being a mother, not you as a person like a birthday.

I couldn’t imagine not sharing the days enjoyment without my DCs.
If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t even have a Mother’s Day.

It’s a mini egg.
It’s ridiculous to be so precious over a bit of chocolate that you can go and buy yourself.

Genuinely poor form OP.

Ah ok, I’ve been abused all my life dumb ass! Fuck off and stop telling me what I don’t know the meaning of!

Ah OP you’re a parent now. 1) mini eggs are awesome, and 2) aren’t you lucky you’ve a little person to share them with.

@Mumofnarnia

not sharing gifts you’ve been bought with your kids is NOT emotional abuse. It just isn’t.

Whilst I don’t agree with OP- I actually think it’s a wind up post, but emotionally abusive?
?

Come on… it’s not abusive to tell your kid they can’t have a mini egg they bought you. Ridiculous

I just thought I’d pop on to mumsnet to read the moans from dissatisfied mums, yours is the first I’ve read and imo you are being very unreasonable.

Seriously?

I'd always share with my children, & appreciate they'd chosen the gift themselves. Every mothers day I'd receive a big box of maltesers from my kids & as little children they'd sit on the bed eagerly waiting for me to open them so they could dive in. It's a standing joke in our house.
Today, my strapping 6 foot, 27 year old son is sitting in the armchair, still eagerly waiting for me to open my big box of maltesers 🥰

Agreed. The whole idea is that the child chooses something for the mother. I just can't imagine being in a family where you wouldn't share a bag of chocolate with your child. The OP comes across as immature and petty.
Mothers day really does bring out the worst in people on this site. There was one yesterday that was expecting a bloody sewing machine as her gift.
I am really glad I live in a world where I don't know people like this.

This …bloody grow up and share your gift with your child !Think about the awful example you are you setting !!

Whatever happened to "it's the thought that counts?". And while I'm no expert, I don't expect many 6 year old to have much money. A bag of Mini Eggs is...what...£1.? Cheap yes but £1 is probably all their pocket money!!!

I think it's a lovely present.

Imagine a post in 25/30 years time.

I never really enjoy Mothers Day. My husband helps our children buy gifts and make cards. The children get very excited and I’m careful to be enthusiastic and pleased. But I always remember my mother being cold and angry when I gave her a bag of Mini Eggs. 6 year old me didn’t understand why, & she wouldn’t share. Both parents stropped and sulked. That memory has stayed with me……

Oh is seeing and believing who op is

£1!!! You must be joking!

They’re a rip off - most overrated chocolate ever
