Today, my mom visited, and I left her for a few minutes while I used the bathroom. While I was stuck taking a crap, she went on one of her religious rants, telling my children that Easter was off this year because their precious "pagan" Easter Bunny had been murdered. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, what started as a fun family Easter egg hunt turned within minutes into my mother-in-law's big chance to be a dramatic cow by screaming at my 5 and 7-year-old daughters for participating in a "vile pagan ritual" and saying that we're all going to hell. They're still bawling. FML
Today, I woke up and decided to make my mom a special Easter breakfast in bed. I pre-heated the oven to bake the sausage just the way she likes. Guess where my easter basket was. FML
Today, I was supposed to spend Easter with my grandparents, but my mom's new husband is a paranoid, overprotective asshole who wouldn't let me because he "doesn't know them." What's even worse is that my mom decided to agree with him just to keep the fucking peace. FML
Today, my husband and I hosted Easter dinner. Since I was in my own home, I breastfed without a cover. My sister-in-law stormed out in a rage, screaming that I was being obscene, and equated it to shooting heroin in front of her kids. Happy Easter indeed. FML
Today, it is both my birthday and Easter. My whole family came into town and my mom made a big dinner with all of my favorite foods. After church, I took a nap. When I woke up, all the food, including my cake, was gone. No one thought to wake me up. FML
Today, I was visiting my mom for Easter weekend. I rarely visit her, since she lives on the other side of the state. She spent the nicest day of the visit sick all day in bed. It wasn't food poisoning, the doctors don't know what it was, but she was fine the next day, when it was raining and much colder, so no outdoors for us. FML
Today, my mother came over to visit, and my kids started excitedly telling her Christmas is coming soon. She freaked out, saying Christmas is a "Satanic holiday" and telling them that Santa is going to hell along with everyone who celebrates it. My children are now traumatized. FML
Today, as punishment for peeing on the toilet seat, my dad told my son Santa isn’t real and nor is the tooth fairy or the Easter bunny. FML
Today, my brother in law brought a dead rabbit to my nephew saying, "I found the Easter Bunny!" My nephew started crying hours ago and hasn't stopped. FML
Today, I was feeling very sad and alone, so I went to see my mom. I was there for over two hours, but she was on the phone gossiping with her church hens for about an hour and 45 minutes. Then she wonders why I hardly ever visit. FML

I agree that every parent has the right to decide what to tell their own children and the grandma never should have "killed off" the Easter bunny. That could be traumatic to a small child. Easter is in honor and remembrance of Jesus dying a horrible death on the cross and rising again thus defeating death and satan and washing our sins away if we accept him as our Savior. This was done by Gods design to not only to take the punishment for our sins but to give us hope and peace with God. It is everyone's individual choice if they will accept this truth or not. I think grandma could have found a way to express her personal beliefs without damaging the Easter bunny.

I wouldn't call it truth, rather a very persistent fairytale in which people believe.

Well. Technically the spring solstice is a pagan holiday, much like all "Christian" holidays.... The church put their holidays on or in close proximity to pagan holidays to try to entice more people to join.... When that failed they called them all witches and killed tens of thousands of them in the name of "god"

I would have told them that actually Easter is cancelled because Jesus isn't real and that we'll be celebrating Chocolate Rabbit Day instead.

Cold. But I don't know why Pegan is in parentheses. Do you celebrate Jesus' sacrifice or the Pegan ritual of fertility (aka eggs and bunnies). The two do not go together. "Our saviour died for us and rose again, lets go hunt signs of our fertility..." Creepy.

Childhood is over way too fast. Let kids enjoy being kids and have their easter bunny, christmas, tooth fairy beliefs. My daughter knows the easter bunny isnt real (she is 10), but we still get her a basket because she enjoys waking up and seeing it on the table. She also knows the religious meaning of Easter. Let kids have fun.

The Easter bunny is actually Egyptian. There was a fertility goddess whose name was actually pronounced Easter whose symbols of power were the egg and the bunny.

You deserved it - you know what kind of person your mother is.

The fact that the whole pagan thing is correct isn't the point, people, that was a dick move and the mother knows it. You just don't kill bunnies. Ever.

Do you think when they rolled the stone from the tomb and the guy said Jesus has been resurrected, the guy next to him said "cool, want some jelly beans"??
