Colorado Easter Egg Hunt Canceled Due to Helicopter Parents:rolleyes2

First of all, it's ridiculous to toss all those eggs out in plain sight in a field. How is that any kind of "hunt"? Parents jumping over the rope and grabbing at the eggs is preposterous too. It's a damned shame these idiots can ruin just about anything that's scheduled as a community event "for the chylldren". They act the same way about standing in line for Santa and Trick or Treating too and just about anything else where their kid might be slighted. I vote to do away with all of it and only have private get togethers of this nature where participants who exhibit a little class are the only ones invited.

If YOU are the "exception" to what I am saying, then why does my commentary bother you so much?
I don't hate your kids, I HATE YOU!

I'm just glad it's an issue we'll never have to worry about. Because I can buy all the goddamn chocolate eggs I want.

Yep! When I feel like having Easter chocolate, I just head down to CVS and buy it. And it's all for ME and I don't have to share it with any brats.

When I was a wee thing, my parents took me to the local park for an egg hunt. There were LOTS of kids there, and I didn't understand the idea of grabbing the eggs closest to me, so by the time I reached the location of the eggs that I DID see, someone else got to them first. When I backtracked to get the eggs I had run by, they were gone, too. I remember crying, but my parents told me, "sorry, better luck next time!" and guess what? I got over it. My parents did not make it a life mission to have all Easter Egg hunts disbanded, or make the organizers of that particular event resign in shame, because they had some perspective and knew it wasn't a big deal.

These kind if parents fuck up shit for everybody.

I thought a moo's idea of an "egg hunt" was stirring the toilet waters after a clump-dump.

Overcoddling parents are ruining all the fun for their spoiled kids!

That's the mature way to deal with it. Breeders lack sense.

Imagine being a responsible parent having to deal with helicopter parents. How the fuck do you teach a child any sense of responsibility and manners with these assholes fucking shit up?

THIS is one of the biggest reasons I'm grateful on a daily basis that I never bred. Being a responsible and REASONABLE parent and trying to raise a non-entitled, disciplined kid would be extremely difficult in today's "self esteem" society.

I love this from the comments in that article:

The blades on the helicopter go round and round...

IT'S JUST SOME FUCKING EGGS!!!!!

what a bunch of shitheads.

Why does everything have to be a competition anymore? Can't we just kick back and have some fun once in a while?

On the bright side, one area will have less crack monkeys in public on that day.

No shit! It's an Easter egg hunt; it's not the Super Bowl or the Oscars. Let these kids have their fun.

Because, today EVERYONE is number one, a blue ribbon winner, top of the class. Even the staggeringly mediocre.

I want to pick up a bus full of unruly kids and feed them gummi bears and crack, then turn them loose in Hobby Lobby to ransack the place. They will all be wearing T shirts that say "You Could Have Prevented This."

Breeders treat having kids as an Olympic event. Like they get a prize for being "Coolest Dad" or some shit
