In future years she'll start to notice. What in the world must children think when they see adults behaving so bady? Those parents should join a softball league and do their own competing and cheating instead of forcing their children to feed their greedy natures. Just starting my rounds for the Carnival of Family Life on Monday night! I know, I know, I'm embarrassingly late!

I also despise pinatas for the same reason. I also quit attending public hunts and similar things years ago because of those sorts of parents. I also despise pinatas for the same reason.

I'm glad that Baby Bug had fun, regardless, and that you at least seem to have your priorities straight! Too bad some people have to make everything into a competition.

THIS is why we will NEVER attend another public hunt ever again. Last year at a local church, it was a knock-down fest in the preschool division and the Monkey walked away with THREE .... eggs. Three. There were parents ALL over the place out there. Made me sick to my stomach. Girl… THIS is why we will NEVER attend another public hunt ever again.

We were at an egg hunt one time where they split eveyone up like that... we actually had a mom almost knock my son down and then she blocked off this one corner and wouldn't let any other kid in while her little snookums scooped up the eggs. Don't these people know they can run to Target or WalMart and BUY candy? You don't have to kill small children to get a taste... :) I’m so glad she had a good time!

Sad, but true. I think giving your kids time to enjoy things at their own pace is paramount. Good job mom! Hugs, Holly Oh isn’t it the truth? Sad, but true.

She only found 2 eggs at our Home Owner's Association Easter Party. There were 20 kids, and no age groups, it was a free for all, and she felt so bad. Not one parent offered to tell their children, let that little girl have that egg, you have so many, and she only has 2. You're absolutely right, it should be just about having fun, not he who finds the most eggs WINS!! Very adorable pic. I can't get over how fast she is growing. The same thing happened to Katelyn.

They just don't get it. We have a local egg hunt that's going on 20 years here. This year the Easter Bunny had to HAND the eggs out, because there were so many kids last year who didn't get ANY and the parents complained. Stupid people have ruined it for everyone else. We didn't go to that one BTW - we have our own family one and make sure that everyone gets some. adorable picture, she looks so happy. Some parents are so bad about things like that.
