First off, let’s be real—our kids are incredibly spoiled. The moment Christmas ends, we’re bombarded with the sugar rush of Valentine’s Day. And if you’re a parent who really cares, you’ll have a leprechaun leave treats in March. I guess I’m not the best parent because every St. Patrick’s Day, I see my leprechaun-deprived kids leaving for school with disappointment written all over their faces. Seriously, there are already enough holidays!
Then, just when you think it can’t get any crazier, Easter rolls around. And Easter is arguably the most chaotic. Not only do you have to provide your wild children with even more sugar, but you also have to pretend a giant bunny invaded your home to deliver it. Honestly, a giant Easter chicken would make more sense since chickens actually lay eggs. (Though that’s still pretty bizarre.)
Yet, we go all out. From extravagant Christmases to Valentine’s chocolates and even a leprechaun treat if you’re feeling like the ultimate mom. The real motivation? We get to snag the good candy (like Reese’s eggs) and toss out the awful stuff from Aunt Martha (looking at you, blue peeps) once the kids are finally asleep.
Of course, we do it because we love our kids. But let’s be honest—it’s mostly for the candy. Here’s a collection of amusing tweets from parents who feel your pain about Easter while also indulging in a nightly stash of jellybeans.
When you think back to your proudest moments as a parent…
Can you really blame her? Your lunch wasn’t much better.
And then there are the inevitable messes.
Spoiler: It’s likely not chocolate.
But this kid has mastered the art of the game:
Is it a crime scene, or did the kids just score themselves 6 new cavities? I’d prefer the former, honestly.
Go ahead and look for more eggs, sweetheart!
Mommy just needs to grab something from the pantry!
Brutal.
Don’t second-guess our parenting choices.
When you suspect your kids might have gone overboard…
Totally agree. There’s no debate here.
In bulk.
Hmmm. Not sure.
A mother’s love is limitless.
Ah yes, the adults at the egg hunt. Better than any episode of Game of Thrones.
Enjoy it, kids! Mommy loves you!
So, happy peculiar bunny-candy-delivery day, everyone! May your homes overflow with laughter, Starburst jellybeans, and all the chocolate bunnies imaginable. (And zero Peeps, please.) Here’s hoping your day unfolds just as you envisioned it. My kids will likely battle over the last egg in the yard and consume sugar until they’re sick, just as it should be. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
