In some towns, the tradition of Easter egg hunting has been banned by communities, all because of pushy parents! Sure they don't want their children to leave empty handed, but to knock others off is ridiculous. It's just hard boiled eggs, not plastic eggs with a check for $25,000 inside one of the eggs.

What next?

1). Halloween; parents telling people who hand out candy, telling them the President outlawed candy for kids under 10 (The Middle joke).

2). Christmas; Parents giving Santa a dirty look by promising kids what they want for Christmas & couldn't afford it themselves.

Why would they want to ban this? It's not like the kids aren't supervised or anything. They always have chaperones at these things. So crazy.

They SHOULD ban these things. Not because of the kids, mind you, but because of the psycho parents. They will run other kids over to make sure their kids get more eggs. It's childish and stupid, yet, it happens every time. I'm all for banning this.

Plus, it's not just hard-boiled eggs anymore. People have started sticking coupons or coins that really add up to something in these plastic eggs, so the parents are racing to look for those before the other parents do.

I'd run over a kid or two for $25,000.

I'd run one over for every dollar.

This is unbelievable! I remember being in one of these when i was a kid. i actually found a special egg that won me something- but i cant remember exactly what the prize was. but i did get to meet the Governor of PA for it

I dont remember any kind of pressure from other parents or any "bad sports".

I don't think they should ban it entirely. I think they just need to make it safer and make rules that parents can't go psycho over their kids getting eggs. Maybe they should ban the parents from participating and leave it to the kids or something.

Seems like the parents are more into it then the kids.

I'm not saying the parents couldn't be there. I'm just saying that if the parents want to help their kids that they don't go psycho over it.
