Easter egg wibu

[Hi877]

Would someone be unreasonable to be annoyed if a grandparent got one grandchild (age 5) 2 easter eggs and the other (10 months old) no eggs

Totally agree here.

Good on Grandma for not giving a baby chocolate. I'm sure when the baby is older, the grandma will give them a treat like the 5 year old.

People who want eggs for 10 month old babies are people who actively want meaningless gestures that cost money and buy into consumerism as a way to show love. Your sister is part of the problem of life

No one should buy a 10m old an egg.
We had to explain that to mil who brought a hamper for a 15m old

Presumably the baby is hers....not yours

I think she's jealous because your child is the oldest and she's worried her baby is 2nd best /not getting enough fuss.

Your poor mum...

Exactly it's just spiteful leaving the baby out.
Says it all really

@NattyTurtle59 I used capitals to make the point again that nobody needs chocolate or gifts that's not the point being made do you understand that? They left the baby out and only got Easter gifts for (obviously their favourite) grandchild.
And NHS guidelines are just that guidelines not rules or law.

We bought our 10 month old grandson a fluffy chick and a couple of Easter books
He's not allowed chocolate he's too young.
We bought the four year old and Easter egg and a fluffy chick

Kryst, don't complain when you can't find an affordable dentist for your o b e s e children

I bought 10 month old niece a book. Her parents rightly made it entirely clear that she wouldn't be eating any chocolate.

I honestly can’t remember buying Easter Eggs for my grandchildren when they were babies and I certainly don’t think a 10 month old should get any let alone 6. I might have bought a packet of chocolate buttons for them. I think your sister is being ridiculous. The baby will not be aware that her cousin got 2 at 5 years old. I bought each of my grandchildren 2 small ones each but they are 7 and 9. I also bought my adult daughters and son in law and husband one each.

Giving eggs to 10 month olds is ludicrous however could the giver not provide something else like money to both for fairness?

I'd have got a book or a bunny instead tbh

No it's not unreasonable for a 10 month old not to be given an egg (and it's crazy to think they got given so many...who bought them all?!?). However I would think that if the grandparents were buying gifts for another grandchild they would choose an alternative such as a book or small toy instead, or put in a couple of pounds for the child's piggy bank.

My 10 month old was bought eggs by family. Just because she was bought them doesn’t mean she gets to scoff them all. It’s just a nice gesture. She will have a little bit though. Despite some of judgemental posts I’ve seen on here I don’t think it’s the end of the world for an almost one year old to have a little bit of chocolate for a treat.

I wouldn’t leave the baby out. A ten month old with an older sibling has very likely tried chocolate before!
my ten month old would absolutely have noticed that their big siblings had chocolate/something they didn’t have.
i wouldnt have hot a baby a huge Lindt egg or anything, but a little pack of choccy buttons or a small, hollow egg would be fine, and make them very happy!

I wouldn't have given my 10 month old chocolate so it would've been a waste of your money

I wouldn't expect the baby to be given an Easter egg necessarily but they could have given something for Easter. Personally I'd have wanted to treat the children the same so if I got chocolate for the 5 year old I'd have got something else for the baby like an Easter book or toy,

I’d get the baby a little toy but not chocolate.

10 mth old shouldn’t be eating chocolate. YABU

Saying that our DC was around ten months old for their first Easter and we let them have chocolate. I don't remember what other family members gave but I wouldn't have been put out if they'd given an egg as we'd have just eaten it!

I hope you aren’t going to let the baby have them?

YABU a 10 month old shouldn’t be eating an Easter egg and doesn’t know any different.

I personally get babies that age a little egg themed gift but some people only do eggs and no I wouldn’t expect a 10 month old to be included.

A 10 month old got all this?

Fucking Hell.

I have a 15 month old, my family bought them an egg and I told them thanks but he’s not eating chocolate yet and they said to just eat it myself.

My partners family didn’t give anything for my child for Easter but did buy eggs for our other newphew who’s 2. I dont think my partners family know my child has never had chocolate or anything with added sugar. So I can see where someone might be slightly put out if one child got a gift and the other didn’t. But since I don’t want my child to have chocolate at all I didn’t really care.

Well, I think you've got your reason then - your sister sees that your parents treated your DC differently from hers. Your parents probably thought (as do most PPs) that a 10month old DC doesn't need so much chocolate, but I can also see it from your sister's point of view - it looks as though they've overlooked her DC in favour of yours.

We never did "Easter presents" as a child, nor did we as nieces and nephews were growing up. It was an Egg. That's was it.

So on the basis that it wouldn't have occurred to me to get a chocolate egg for a baby, nor an alternative present, the only unreasonable part of it is that this person thought it reasonable to get two eggs for a 5 year old.
