Grandson

[rodeo76]

I have 3 grandchildren. The oldest boy is now 18 and working and has a steady girlfriend. Is it reasonable to no longer buy him Easter Eggs? I want to treat him as an adult but part of me feels mean.

My mum still buys us Easter eggs. And still gets one for her 20 year old grandson. It's perfectly ok to treat an adult with an Easter egg .

My parents stopped getting me anything when I was 18. Birthdsts Easter xmas etc and I was secretly gutted.

If he likes chocolate I would but if he doesn't that much I probably wouldn't bother.

Fancy adult Easter Egg?

Why can’t you buy adults an Easter Egg?

If you can’t afford it, then fine, but all the supermarkets have great specials on. 3 for £10 or 2 for £8 etc decent sized ones at Tesco. But one for his gf too.

It’s chocolate...

Adults have Easter eggs too! Is he working or is he still at school?

Working and good pay and steady GF

The 16 year old has a GF too!

And the 16 year old has a reg. GF too!

Oh please. I'm in my 30s with my own children and get an egg from my grandparents. It's sort of the point of grandparents. Silly treats.

My dd is 29 and would disown me if she didn't get an egg!! I get them off my adult dc and I am 47!!

At the risk of sounding sexist, the replies are from a female point of view and yes, i still love e/eggs but i don't think males feel the same way.

My husband loves an Easter Egg still. He's much older than 18.

If you only want males to reply you should have said so 🤷🏻‍♀️

...you might want to try a different website though

Or accept that teenager boys love chocolate as much as teenage girls up to you really.

Ask him!

My kids stopped getting proper Easter Eggs at about 12.

I asked if they wanted an 'Egg' or a large bar of chocolate, a small 'egg' (overall chocolate weights were noted) and extra balance to their clothing account
and still saved money - which was added to their clothing allowance

My sons are in their 20s & they'd be most upset if they didn't get an Easter egg. My 83 year old mother still insists on sending me money so I can buy them one from her, too.

My 21 year old brother would throw a full on toddler strop if he didn't get an easter egg off his grandma 😂 I agree with the above poster - that's what grandparents are for. Even if it is 'uncool' grandmothers get to do these things.

My mum still buys me an Easter egg and I'm 50!

I'm 30 I'd be upset if I didn't get any Easter eggs

My parents still buy all us Easter eggs, our partners and the grandchildren there is 22 off us 🙈

Why the angst? Surely better to buy one and him not be very excited than leave him out?! Anyone who grows out of liking chocolate has issues, frankly

Just get him one anyway. My grandparents still put bags of chocolate coins on the Christmas tree for my Dad and Uncle (as well as all the grandchildren and great grand children).

You don't think men like chocolate?! Really?

Well, from a male perspective (albeit second hand) my 2 teen sons would be gutted to be eggless. They have about 5 each already!

I'm 27 and my mum still buys me an egg each year. She buys one for my husband too! We'd be a but gutted if she stopped really, it's a lovely silly tradition

My mum (who is 88), buys eggs for all her grandchildren aged 26, 23, 22 and 17. (all male except one). Think they would all be a bit sad if she suddenly stopped doing it after all these years.

I also buy for my children (23,22,17) as well as their partners.

Well my ds is 22 and still wants one and a stocking at Christmas.
