My boyfriend refuses to let go all out for my sons Easter basket

Your child should come first before any man!!!Sounds like a controlling man to me! Get out of that fast before he tries to control everything and anything you do!! Huge red flag!!!:triangular_flag_on_post:

Kids come first but also why are you going all out on Easter. I agree it’s not a second Christmas. I’ve always done smart easter baskets not a bunch of junk. Like this year since she’s older it’s going to be summer clothes and shoes a little bit of candy and maybe a small stuffed animal

He’s a boyfriend…do what you want with your kid. He should want to buy him something for Easter as well and help him hunt eggs. He can’t be like a father to the child…look for a better boyfriend.

Let you? This isn’t just about Easter, these are red flags. Fighting over this? You having to be afraid to talk about it because of how he treats you? You deserve better. Your son deserves better​:heart::heart:

Does he control you much? Tell him your children come before him. I know I would never keep him around. That’s how Control freaks do things like that, and it only worsens. I agree with Anna. I have been there Never Again.:pray::pray::pray:.

Rule #1 of parenting: You NEVER let a man, a BOYFRIEND, who is not the father of your child tell YOU how to dictate how you spend your money, time, energy & LOVE on YOUR CHILD!
Boyfriend is a red flag. Throw the whole man away now.

How tin the hell are you gonna let a BOYFRIEND, who is NOT your child’s father,tell you what you can or cannot do for YOUR child. Yelling at you!?!? For wanting to give your child a happy holiday!?!?!? He should be packing his shit and getting out of your lives.

If he just moved in with u then and ur son is ur kid not his then he has nothing to say. Ur money, ur son do what u want. Just make sure u have ur part of bills paid so he can’t come back and sat" see I told u"

Nope. That man may not be here next year or in 5-10…your son is here for your entire life. Now if he is paying bills and will be providing the money for the basket that is completely different! But it doesn’t sound like your financially dependent on him. If it’s your money then spoil your son and pay attention to that red a** flag that new boyfriend just threw out there cause he should not be even speaking about your parenting and how you handle your child yet. That is a privilege that comes after a lot of proving ones self and building a sturdy relationship with you and the child.

Ur sons been in ur life his whole life and ur bf was only there a year… maybe he doesn’t know how it feels to go all out like that for ur kid…

Is the question should you chose what your boyfriend wants over your child ?
I hope you knew the answer to this before you even asked.

Sounds like you should learn more about your boyfriend’s background, upbringing and family. No it isn’t Christmas (which is a religious celebration) it is also a time to enjoy family and feasting remembering that Easter too is a religious holiday.

No way in hell I’d let a BOYFRIEND (who is not even the parent!) tell me what I can and can’t do with MY child. If he doesn’t like it, I’d show him the door.

Yelled at you for wanting to do something special for your child?? RED FLAG. I go all out anytime I can for our kids.

We only get those excited faces for so long, enjoy it and get that baby an Easter basket.

You should be able to do what you want to do for your child. He was there before the BF and will be there after too. Now, having said that, going “all out” has different meanings. I do have to say some people spend a ridiculous amount of money on children’s party’s etc. just to keep up with the Jones’s and trying to show off which I think is not showing any sort of boundaries for the kid and only making the parent look like their showboating their child. But if you have it to spend then :woman_shrugging:t3: but going into debt or above your means just trying to show off is not right or good role modeling for your kid. It’s okay to do nice things for your child and have fun but it’s silly if you’re just doing it for yourself to impress other people. Some people want to pretend to live a champagne life on a beer budget which never works :woman_shrugging:t3:

  1. It’s YOUR KID. 2. If boyfriend is actually yelling at you for something like this, it says a lot about who he is a person, and it’s not anything good.

Get rid of the BF! Your kid is only 5! He will not believe forever! Enjoy!

Girl… you do YOU! He does not get to decide what you do with your own damn money

It’s your kid, it’s literally none of his business. He does not get to YELL at you for something like that. Ever. Unless you literally aren’t paying bills or spending astronomical amounts with credit cards, it’s none of your business how you spend your money.

Just cuz he moved in doesn’t mean he makes the rules. Also you need to realize that your son will notice

Tell him to mind his own business and if he don’t like how you bring your child up and the traditions you have then he can leave, your kid comes first you shouldn’t have change how you are with your child because of a boyfriend men come and go your son is forever. Your boyfriend be greatful that your letting him be a part of your family don’t change traditions because he’s made you feel like that he’s in the wrong not you. Don’t let him control what you can and can’t do for your son trust me that’s where it starts. He has no right to tell you how much money you can spend in general let alone on your child :purple_heart:
