Easter egg hunt at 6.30am

[AliceAbsolum]

Both the parents outside with the kids, several kids running around screaming at 6.30am. Do people have no shame?

Funny comment.

Get them to sleep? No chance, after all the sugar today, they’ll be like a tramp on chips all night.

I wondered yesterday if he would smile at veg for 5p when i went shopping 🤔😂

Ive not rtft but I used to live in a small cul-de-sac and we were the only ones with kids.

I used to go out at 5.30am laying this mega easter egg hunt around the paths outside.

The kids would be up about 6.30 as normal due to our schedule and would be excited looking out the windows at the Easter Bunny having visited. Then I had some peoples grandkids involved too as they thought it was great.

But i waited until 8am to let them all loose haha. I did feel a little bad for the neighbours as theyd all run around chattering and raised voices in excitment with their easter baskets picking up all these eggs. Sometimes there was the odd scream of excitement but not all the time. The kids all have great memories from it.

We never did anything anti-social othewise and I was the sort of person to drop in flowers for elderly neighbours if they were just out of hospital and offer to cut their grass, pick up bits from the shop etc.

The easter bunny time has passed for us now but it was a lovely time.

But I do agree 6.30am is too early, though they were probably just excited.

Parents should ask their kids to be quiet and considerate outside so early. That said, I would never mind being woken once or twice per year due to Easter Bunny having dropped eggs all over the garden or because Santa delivered a bike or pony into the back yard.

Children's excitement for magic doesn't last long.
I cherish and embrace it.

🤣

This reminds me my nephews 2 and 7 are staying with grandparents this Easter. GP’s live in a large detached house on a private estate in Somerset. I don’t think grandma would do this though! Their cousins 5 and 8 who live nearby also detached house but smaller and in village, their mum is really strict (but a lovely mum!) so I doubt she’d allow this, this early either! Not killjoys.

Jesus rose today. Least you can do is honour the miracle and join him.

It would piss me off but also - they’re kids. I wouldn’t take to Mumsnet over excited kids.

15 people ?
You should be so lucky !
Here we have a Sunrise Service on the prom at 6.30am. complete with drums, accordions, trumpets and Easter hymn singing. 😏

Try looking at it this way, the parents have set themselves up for a very long day with excited children who will no doubt be cranked up on chocolate. By 3o/c this afternoon they will be be worn out and paying for beginning the Easter fun so early, with hours of more fun and games to get through before bedtime.

Then snigger

😃😃

I suspect even Jesus might have asked them if they'd be so kind as to keep it down till he'd had his breakfast.

Well I found it funny. Do you not understand humour.

6.30 is ridiculous. I'm glad my neighbours aren't that daft.
And holding off small kids to a reasonable hour is just part of parenting

😆😆😆

It’s one day a year. Don’t be such an Easter Grinch.

🤣

I found the comment funny. I think they were being sarcastic

That's fecking ridiculous! Several families in my road have kids under 6 and they are up at the arse crack of dawn because their rugrats wake them, so in their head, if THEY are awake early, then everyone else can be too. They are running around screeching in the garden, at 6.30am, (some days) and they have the music on too, blaring out of the lounge window. One of the couples opposite has a log burner, and they are out chopping logs 2 or 3 mornings a week between October and April, often at 7am. As I said, they are awake, so they think we all should be! No consideration for the fact that some people work different shifts... And many people are NOT

Can't tell you how tempted I am to have a garden party with full blast music playing til 11pm - 3 hours after their kids go to bed, and an hour after they do - to wake the little fuckers up! Well, it suits them to wake me 2 hours before I want to get up! So what's good for the goose.............

Yeah, I am a Christian, and really hate Christian bashing, but I thought this was funny too.

Its what Jesus would have wanted

This is what DH and I said to each other when we were snaffling a few Hot Cross Buns on Good Friday. I don't mind the odd ribbing or cheeky joke. It's the vitriolic and hate-filled nasty shit that pisses me off, like calling God 'sky fairy' and imaginary friend,' and mocking Christians and suggesting we're all a bit weird, and laughing and mocking. What pisses me off most is that they NEVER do it to any other religion.

Yep! There was a big dawn service on the east side of the Isle of Wight today. People sang hymns at the seafront while the sun came up.

Wrong. Other religions receive criticism too. You just don’t notice it because it isn’t aimed at your religion. I see Muslims and Pagans claiming the same, that no one would make fun of Christianity as they do their religion of choice, but again they do.

🤣

Well what was the weather forecast for your area today? Maybe they wanted to get it done before the weather turned. So far we haven't had our hunt as the weather is miserable, it's looking like we'll have to have a lame one inside. But yes, a little bit of consideration goes a long way, luckily our nearest neighbours are half a mile up the road, which is a big factor in why we bought the house! I wouldn't begrudge them 20 minutes once a year though, if that's all it is.

I expect he’d already eaten. Sunrise was 6.23 in Jerusalem this morning and they’re 3 hours ahead of us.
