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

My gd is 8 months and it never occurred to me to get her a chocolate egg. I bought her an Easter book and a bunny. But I noted her other gran had bought her an egg. Didn’t comment on it as clearly some people do that (plus none of my business!), but to me it seemed inappropriate.

I wouldn't encourage a 10 year old to eat Easter eggs no!

Poor kid - are they strictly for adults only?

Yes. Children shouldn’t have sugar before 2.

@TheCurious0range
and that’s fine. I wouldn’t mind ‘wasting’ what would likely be less that 2€. It’s just a nice thought/gesture. It’s up to the parents after that. And they’d definitely get eaten by someone

I threw Easter eggs away a few weeks ago because they still hadn't been eaten from the last two years.

It's 10 months old, it won't know any different. These comments are utterly insane. This is why children grow up to be entitled, little brats because of their parents materialistic attitudes

Omg 🙄 you’ve completely missed my point. Obviously, the 10 month old doesn’t know any different - I’ve said it’s for the benefit of the 5 year old. And the reason for that is to STOP the 5 year old becoming an “entitled little brat” in your words. If 5yo is given two Easter eggs by their grandparents and they watch their sibling being given absolutely nothing, what message if that sending the 5yo?

That a baby is too young for chocolate? 5 year olds aren’t stupid they can understand basic differences in age without becoming a brat. It’s the same reason the 10 month old doesn’t have a bike, or go to school, or get juice.

Not an egg but a cuddly chick /book etx

I don’t actually think the 5 year old would become a “brat” because of it, I was just quoting the wording of PP… but no sorry I don’t agree with you, I think getting two Easter eggs for one child and nothing for the other is unfair and it wouldn’t sit right with me, regardless of their age. The baby doesn’t have to get chocolate, or some elaborate gift, but a little something to make it seem fair.

Don’t be daft. A 10 month old and a 5 year old shouldn’t be treated the same, there is a good 4 years difference between them.

Show quote history

No, of course they shouldn’t be treated the same, they are very different! But one given two Easter eggs by grandparents and one given nothing - nah not for me.

No. Would mind and wouldn't expect alternative gift
