I never grew up with it so haven't even thought about it until I heard other parents talking about it the other day. Don't want my boys to be the ones who ruin it for other kids or feel like they are missing out but at the same time don't really feel the need to do it.

I voted yes but purely for the fact that I personally want to celebrate every imaginative pretend innocent event I can whether that’s Easter Christmas Halloween even Valentine’s Day I totally understand why some choose not to and it’s your prerogative as their mother to decide if you don’t want to I say don’t you can explain to them some families do etc but we don’t because and then whatever your reason it really isn’t up to anyone else how you choose to raise your beautiful child/children so long as your a loving parent that’s all that really matters not chocolate and fake bunnies (although I’m over here having the biggest balloon arrangements my husband dress up as Easter bunner buying personalised hampers with chocolate and gifts in 😂😂😂) but then again that’s also my prerogative 😂 anyways my advise is do you and don’t worry what others are doing if your boys say we want to celebrate Easter etc then you can always start later on next year ❤️

I didn’t grow up with the Easter bunny coming, I went to church with my grandparents and came home to eggs and being told who each of them were off. I appreciate that people had got them for me as I grew up.
I am doing a little egg trail for my kids but as far as anything else goes I’m not saying the Easter bunny is turning up with loads of eggs

Yes but just a couple of Easter eggs and maybe little Easter egg hunt in the garden. That’s how I grew up.
All this Easter basket where people are giving actual presents etc seems a bit much in my opinion
I'd agree that gifts is defo too much.
We get them a couple of little eggs and have always done things like Easter crafts/tuff trays/egg hunts etc but have never said its the "Easter bunny" who brings the eggs.
It just wasn't until I was listening to other mums talk at the hairdressers the other day that I realised it wasn't something I'd even considered. Which then lead me on to worrying if they are gonna feel like they are missing out? Or are they gonna ruin it for other kids? If this all makes sense. I guess I'm just wondering what everyone else does these days and I'm probably just overthinking it

I'm the same as except we didn't/don't go to church

i don’t go anymore either, was more because me and my mum lived with my grandparents for a few years and both sides were religious. I think it’s good to let our children be aware of the origins of Easter even if we are no longer religious.

The Easter bunny always bought me a book and a small bag of chocolate eggs or sweets. So this is the tradition we've carried on. But your child won't be missing out if you choose not too, you make memories your own way 💕

I didn’t grow up with it but my mum was kinda crap with celebrating anything tbh. We’ve done an Easter egg hunt and did baking and we got him 2 eggs but we didn’t do extravagant Easter boxes or decorations. But each to their own. I think some parents go OTT but I won’t judge them or the parents who go minimal. I only judge when parents think they’re superior for doing these big gestures and belittle other parents who do less or don’t teach their kids to be grateful & not brag. 👍🏽
