Each to their own, their kids, their money and that's fine but to me personally.... Easter crates? What a load of bollocks. It's EASTER.
My 3 kids have gotton a typical egg they were £1.50 each, and a little basket with eggs in each, they were I thinkkkk 2.99 each from Aldi (really cute!) Each basket has 24 eggs then one big golden egg. So I'll hide them all around the house inside and outside as a hunt which they'll just absolutely adore - and that's it. We're very fortunate to be financially secure but it still doesn't mean I'll fill my sofa with things like it's Christmas morning. There's parents out there who really can only afford their kids a £1 egg and that's fine! Kids would happy with a tube of smarties, I feel so sorry for those parents seeing this all over social media every year.

My friend who I love so much but she's a idiot when it comes to things like this (she does it on valentines day too) she has 3 kids, she's got them all a new scooter(why?) pair of new shoes each, a new outfit each and 3 eggs each, her money and that's her decision, but is there any need?
I hate that Easter has become the new birthday/Christmas.

I know there are a few Tattlers out there who are new mums/about to have a baby or might be struggling. Please DO NOT look at Hinch as any kind of role model. It's outrageously unrealistic.
The best piece of advice I can give you, in fact, the one and only thing you should have on your "list" 🙄 is "don't kill the baby" This is my one aim in life. OK, tragedies do unfortunately happen, but stick with me.

Didn't get up/get dressed? That's OK. The baby is alive and fed. It will NEVER remember the day you were a bit tit.

Didn't make it to baby class/swimming /a walk in the park? That's OK, your baby will NEVER remember the day you missed baby sing song and sat in front of cbeebies instead.

Hubby comes home, takes one look at the house /your face/ body and asks you what the hell you did all day and you have absolutely no answer for him? (yeah, this happened to me) You kept your baby alive! That's amazing and it takes full concentration all day long.

Then you look at Hinch and see she's sat in her immaculate house and cleaned every time the baby slept. BOLLOCKS. I passed out cold the second my kid fell asleep and I couldn't care less about the state of my house or people judging me for it. I'm alive, I'm fine and so is my kid. Take care of yourselves Tattlers, and be kond!
This is just fabulous. What a beautiful account of what mothering is actually about. These are the REAL priorities, nothing else. 💜

Henry really doesn’t need an Easter crate, unless there’s a doggy slimming world voucher in there for him too. 🐶

I agree, I didn’t really get the Christmas Eve boxes which seemed to be all over Instagram last year.
Must be hard being a new parent nowadays, so much to keep up with.
I said exactly this to my hubby, I don’t get Christmas Eve boxes, gender reveals and even bloody push present, it’s all just for show and it doesn’t sit right with me x

She has her books dotted all over the gaff, on ‘shulfs’ the coffee table, the window sill

Deary me. The dog's got an Easter egg. Dog eggs are a completely different thing in our house 💩💩. More spending on absolute rubbish that will be tossed into the wheelie bin come Tuesday.

It's been mentioned here before.

According to The Sun Jamie gave up work last year as her influencing career took off. (so 2019 as the article is 2020)

Ahh thank you! I’ve not been here that long, i lurked for a while too! I just assumed he had a job 🤦🏻‍♀️

God I'm gonna piss me knickers, Henry's got a Easter crate - I love my cat but she's got duck all for Easter. Sorry Belle 🙃

In all seriousness Soph, I'm actually sharing something my kids loved , I don't read tattle so hiya 👋 the little egg thing is cute you made Ronnie, kids love tit, he'll enjoy playing with it but in argos there's a egg toy for a tenner but it's in the 2 for 15 section it's called the Tomy hide and squeak eggs.
Each egg has a shape at the bottom and it'll only go in the space that fits that bottom shape. And each egg yolk is a colour and has a removable shell with the matching colour face on, that you match to the yolk colour. Ronnie will bloody love it. My 2 youngest played with theirs for months on end.. And it's educational. He has nothing educational. Look it up.

*ETA to any mummy's on here who like the sound of the toy and want to save some money you can actually get the same thing but a cheaper "fake" version on ebay or amazon, I didn't realise until my kids grew out of theirs! Xx

Easter crates?! Who comes up with this shite? Mother in law got my kids eggs, auntie sent them money, and that’s that. Why does everything have to be a big thing with her! There’s parents out there that struggle to get 1 egg ffs, hell there’s parents out there just struggling to pay bills, never mind anything else! She’s definitely not living in the real world is she? bleeping melt!
Doting auntie here. And my nephew has his 2nd birthday this weekend. He isn't getting an egg- he's only 2 & doesn't need the sugar high/my SIL doesn't need the "you can have it later" argument. We buy the sibling a "sorry its not your birthday gift" and cos it's Easter weekend & they are at school now we have given the biggest one an easter egg for the first time.

You don't need all this "crate" shite. I'd understand if Soph was Ned Flanders and signing off on a Sunday every week for church. Does she do an Eid chest or a Diwali package or a Hanukkah haul? What's the point, except the constant commercialism, and her being so in need of therapy she's mistaking genuine affection with just throwing cash and material goods at the hole? She's a braggy, beggy bastard!
