Easter Egg Hunt Organizers Cancel Event Citing Aggressive & ‘Disgruntled’ Parents

Colorado Easter Egg Hunt Cancelled as Organizers Cite Aggressive Parents COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (The Blaze/AP) — Organizers of an annual Easter egg hunt attended by hundreds of children have canceled this year’s event, citing the behavior of aggressive and “disgruntled” parents who swarmed into the tiny park last year, determined that their kids get an egg.

That hunt was over in seconds, to the consternation of egg-less tots and their own parents. Too many parents had jumped a rope set up to allow only children into Bancroft Park in a historic area of Colorado Springs.

Organizers say the event has outgrown its original intent of being a neighborhood event.

Parenting observers cite the cancellation as a prime example of so-called “helicopter parents” — those who hover over their children and are involved in every aspect of their children’s lives — sports, school, and increasingly work — to ensure that they don’t fail, even at an Easter egg hunt.

“They couldn’t resist getting over the rope to help their kids,” said Ron Alsop, a former Wall Street Journal reporter and author of “The Trophy Kids Grow Up,“ which examines the ”millennial children” generation.

“That’s the perfect metaphor for millennial children. They (parents) can‘t stay out of their children’s lives. They don’t give their children enough chances to learn from hard knocks, mistakes.”

Alsop and others say the parenting phenomenon began in earnest when Baby Boomers who decorated their cars with “Baby on Board” signs in the 1980s began having children. It has prompted at least two New York companies to establish “take your parent to work day” for new recruits as parents remain involved even after their children become adults.

Last April’s egg hunt, sponsored by the Old Colorado City Association, attracted hundreds of parents and children and experienced a few technical difficulties, said Mazie Baalman, owner of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and sponsor of the event.

There was no place to hide the plastic eggs, which were filled with donated candy or coupons redeemable at nearby businesses. So thousands of eggs were placed in plain view on the grass. A bullhorn to start the event malfunctioned, so Baalman, master of ceremonies, used a public address system that was hard to hear.

Colorado Easter Egg Hunt Cancelled as Organizers Cite Aggressive Parents

“So everybody thinks you said `Go,’ and everybody goes, and it’s over in seconds,” Baalman said. “If one parent gets in there, other parents say, `If one can get in we all can get in,’ and everybody goes.”

Jennifer Rexford used to live near the park and now lives in Galveston, Texas. She said she used to participate in public Easter egg hunts with her three boys, ages 3, 8, and 14. She doesn’t anymore because of “pushy parents” she experienced at hunts in Florida and Texas.

“It just seems to be the mindset. People just want the best for their kids,” Rexford said.

Lenny Watkins, who lives a block away from Bancroft Park, took his friend’s then 4-year-old son to the hunt in 2009.

“I just remember having a wonderful time, him with his Easter basket” Watson said, adding that he can understand why a parent would step in.

“You have all these eggs just lying around, and parents helping out. You better believe I’m going to help my kid get one of those eggs. I promised my kid an Easter egg hunt and I’d want to give him an even edge.”

Alsop said that dynamic is at play with parents who hover over their children, even into adulthood.

“I don’t see any sign of it abating,” he said. “It seems everything is more and more and more competitive, fast paced, and I think parents are going to see they need to do more to help their kids get an edge.”

  Crazy how many atheists complain about the religion, and it’s not even the religion that made the holiday so commercial.
  
  Crazy how Christians focus on the atheists and the religious side of a story that’s really about crappy parenting.
  
  Sad how many crappy parents there are, both from Atheist families and Christian families. Worse, is how it makes community events suck for those of us who aren’t crappy parents.
  
  Seriously. If “precious baby” can’t possibly fail or miss out on anything, then stay home with your frigging brat and spare the rest of us your nonsense, please.

  I am pretty sure that the Gospels never mentioned a magical bunny with colored eggs. I am done with made up Hallmark holidays, I am soooo sorry I celebrated Christmas with santa, Halloween, the easter bunny, valentines day all of it. I know that people judge Jehova’s Witnesses harshly but they do have some things right like not celebrating holidays and even knocking on the door. I never had a Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran, ect… seek me out to spread the Gospel

  @HEATHER
  
  While I am not a JW, I have a grandmother and an aunt who are. The problem with the JW approach to holidays is that it goes to an unnecessary extreme. As long as you celebrate holidays in the spirit of their Christian intent, then I fail to see the problem.
  
  Christmas doesn’t have to be the commercialized nonsense that it is. How does getting together as a family and celebrating the birth of the Lord (despite that not happening on Dec. 25) go against God? It doesn’t.
  
  Thanksgiving? Again, it’s an excuse to get together as a family and show gratitude for everything that God provides in your life. How is that wrong?
  
  Easter is the same way. These elbow throwing parents participating in modified neo-pagan fertility rituals aren’t doing anything to glorify God, but getting together with friends and family and celebrating the Resurrection? Or even just getting together for company and a BBQ? What’s the problem with that?
  
  Certain holidays could most definitely be stricken completely, as they add nothing of value besides the excuse to buy things or to get wasted (Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s being prime examples imo), or to get a day off from work (Columbus Day), but to just give up holidays altogether, while being your right, is going unnecessarily far as far as I’m concerned.

  St. Patrick’s day is a christian (well, catholic) holiday too. The same reasoning applies here as well – just because some drunk college kids use it as an excuse to wear green and drink in public doesn‘t mean you can’t observe the religious intent of the holiday. In many places in Ireland, it’s a day where people go to church and have dinner with their families, not get drunk and throw up green beer.

Pagans are as Pagans do! Easter has nothing to do with Christ, it is associated with the Goddess of fertility, Ishtar. The bible is so distorted from what was originally recorded and the corruption of man (evil) has further twisted God’s intent for man, like Catholic priests having to be celibate. God did not command priests to be celibate, greedy pose did, and look at the damage that has done to so many children. No wonder we have become communist, God said he would not destroy us again, but he never said he would stop us from doing it to ourselves!

  Catholic priests do not marry because, in doing so, they are following the example of Christ Himself. He praised the Apostles for giving up “all” to follow Him (Matt 19:27-29). And in Matt 19:11-12 He singles out those who do not marry for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven and also teaches that this special grace of priestly celibacy is a gift that is only for a few (currently approx. 0.01% of the population). St Paul taught that celibacy is preferable to marriage for those giving themselves completely to God 1 Cor 7: 7, 17 and 32-35. In addition to the celibacy of Christ, St Paul, St John the Baptist and St John (and the Old Testament prophets Elijah and Jeremiah), the constant tradition of the Church has always affirmed that the other Apostles remained celibate after they followed Christ. In the early Church, most married clerics observed celibacy after ordination.

  I realize it can be painful to hear the truth, and what you say sounds good, but if you look it up, it was Pope Benedict VIII who really began celibacy because he wanted the inheritance from a priest to go to the church not the son. Prior to that, Catholic priests practiced polygamy (especially if his first wife took I’ll). It took about 200 years for the full on celibacy to take affect, but it was originally about money. I’m not knocking Catholics, “I am one now” but history must not be forgotten or destroyed! http://www.patriarchywebsite.com/monogamy/mono-history.htm
  
  “The practice of priestly celibacy began to spread in the Western Church in the early Middle Ages. In the early 11th century Pope Benedict VIII responded to the decline in priestly morality by issuing a rule prohibiting the children of priests from inheriting property. A few decades later Pope Gregory VII issued a decree against clerical marriages.” http://hnn.us/articles/696.htm

  A priest vows his life to the church. It’s not a secret. Priests know this. To vow your life means you vow everything of the gift of life you have been given, you are called to give it back the best you can. If you haven’t received that calling, priesthood is not for you. And yes, this includes your compensation, which is a minimal characteristic of the vow really. If you are compelled to a stronger devotion to God and His church, but are not calle as to give your life and all the works of it, there are positions such as brother that you can serve as.
  
  A mind as lost as your‘s wouldn’t yet know the belief and sacrifice that this takes as well as the honor in it. It’s not too late for you though. I get the impression though that one day you will recognize truth, and eventually you won’t continually feel how you “realize it can be painful to hear the truth”. Hopefully someday your reality will be that truth never hurts, only lies hurt, and I imagine that truly is the current realization of your life. Hurt, as you surround yourself with faith in lies. Sad indeed. I will pray for you, now and at the hour of your death, Amen.

  Kevintampa – you said “A mind as lost as your‘s wouldn’t yet know the belief and sacrifice that this takes as well as the honor in it.”
  
  There are many people, good Christians who are not lost, who do not agree with priests having to be celibate. The bible says that some can, but many cannot and it is better to marry than to burn in lust. The Catholic church FORCES anyone who wants to live for God to be celibate. A person can live for God and be married. It happens in all the Protestant churches and the Greek Orthodox and the Russian Orthodox. It’s only in the Catholic church this is REQUIRED.

  All the greatness that catholicism has given us? I hope you are being sarcastic and I read that wrong. Catholicism has given us nothing. It is Christ who has given us everything and no credit is due to catholicism. Our righteousness is like dirty rags. Not one of us is good and we can’t earn our salvation. No matter who many hail mary’s and trips around the rosary you take, it will never get you to heaven. Only Jesus Christ, the Son of God is able through faith in Him. Confess only to Christ, for He alone stands in the gap for us, not a priest whom hears your plight and tells you how many hail mary’s you have to say to be forgiven.

  Technically a singular “the bible” doesn’t exist. The (many) different books that share such a title are a collection of hand-picked stories from ancient scrolls that have changed hundreds of times over the course of history. This is common knowledge for any biblical scholar (such as yourself, i’m sure).

It is a lot easier to be a helicopter parent if you only have one or two. The phenomenon of helicopter parents is not new but the low birth rate enables the phenomenon. You would think that they would be a positive force in society considering the attitudes of those who think that the government ought to be “all about the children.” Letting a child fail or risking failure can be a kindness, but it is never a plan that gets immediate gratification. There is a unhealthy appreciation of phoney success that is generated. The adult version looks like a president justifying failed solar panel company investments. Of course, the investment is with other people’s money. Helicopter parents likewise invest in the appearance of success rather than real success that the child can value because the child actually put in the real work. Children are constantly being underestimated with respect to what they are capable of doing. High expectations is the way to go but phoney success is just another way to live a lie.

  I agree totally. As a teacher, I have seen kids who are never allowed to experience disappointment or failure, so they have no idea how to handle it when they are out in the real world. They truly don’t know that difficulties and failure can be overcome or become learning experiences. Many of the kids who grow up like this grow up to be angry adults when reality hits them or turn to drugs, alcohol, or other destructive behavior to try to feel better.

Any real christian wouldn’t take their kids to an “easter egg” hunt anyways. The rabbits and eggs are adopted from a pagan Equinox celebration and have nothing to do with the resurrection of jesus. Take your kids to church instead if you want to really celebrate easter.

  The Christian church absorbed Pagan practices in an ingenious way. After discovering that pagan people were more reluctant to give up their holidays and festivals than their gods, they simply incorporated Pagan practices into Christian festivals. As recounted by the Venerable Bede, an early Christian writer, clever clerics copied Pagan practices and by doing so, made Christianity more palatable to pagan folk reluctant to give up their festivals for somber Christian practices.
  Like the origin of Easter, the origin of the Easter Bunny has roots that go back to pre-Christian, Anglo-Saxon history. The holiday was originally a pagan celebration that worshipped the goddess Eastre (so even the name “Easter” comes from this pagan traditon). She was the goddess of fertility and springtime and her earthly symbol was the rabbit.
  
  Thus the pre-Christian Anglo-Saxons worshipped the rabbit believing it to be Eastre’s earthly incarnation.
  
  When the Anglo-Saxons were converted to Christianity, the pagan holiday, which occurred around the same time as the Christian memorial of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, was combined with the Christian celebration and given the name Easter.

  If Obama is re-elected, I’m sure there will be a government program that will manage the distribution of Easter eggs to “those less fortunate”. The rest of us will, of course, pay for the program, and be made to stand aside and watch the eggs being handed out. In order to qualify for the Easter egg hand-out, you must show your free cell phone at the gate.

It’s an EGG for crying out loud. Have your own hunt at home and coddle and smother your baby all you like. This is also vicarious I believe. Parents who are addicted to competition and sharp elbows. They will never know the joy of watching their child struggle and succeed of their own accord. The parent is solely focused on the goal. “The end justifies the means”. This is how liberal minds work. Then, when they all break the rules, the defender parents get involved, not wanting their own child to be cheated out of the experience by ADULTS.

I recall not getting an egg sometimes as a child.
I survived.

  I’ll tell you what, it‘s about a man Jesus who was also a Father’s son who got nailed to a cross because the son’s Father allowed it to happen for the sake of mankind. And the son left behind his testimony and his “Word”, which is exactly the meaning of having to go through the son to get to the Father. Now I just bet, that when all the eggs, baskets, chocolate, Christmas Trees, wrapped presents, and Santa comes to an end, I bet 99.9 percent of people will be at a loss for what Jesus Christ is really about.

This is what happens when you make a celebration of Christ’s resurection about eggs and bunnies.

  My youngest son who is way younger than the others, when he was around 5, told me he wanted me to take down all of our “Easter” decorations because it is not about bunnies, it is about Jesus. I was very proud of his insight and I felt badly that he had to tell me, not me him.

  Most of those children will not enter any church on Easter Sunday.
