My neighbourhood used to put on an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Parents donate a bunch of chocolate eggs and other volunteers spread them around a large park. Unfortunately this event had to be cancelled because some parent were running around with their kids in their arms to pick up the most eggs, others were shoving 4 year old kids, other yet were watching 3 year olds waddle in their oversized snow suit to an egg excitedly, but would run up and take the egg. I never imagined that it would go that badly. Mind you, we did attempt several years with different rules and communications that parents aren’t to be involved and it didn’t help.
