I always go big for Easter and Christmas, my mom has 8 grandchildren and her and her husband spoil them 2 times a Easter.Easter and Christmas, tbh I would go all out and tell him that your son come above anything and everyone.

You seriously can’t decide who to keep happier? your child or some lousy bf of a year ? Seriously kids are forever not no dumb man… you buy that baby whatever he wants for Easter and tell that bf to :kiss: your ass…

Tell him to go pound sand…if it isn’t costing him anything he’s letting his selfishness rule!

If ur buying it with ur money… I’d Tell him to Shut the hell up and you can do what you want for :hatching_chick: Easter :rabbit:. What’s he going to do bitch about Christmas too.

Tell him if he doesn’t like it, he can leave. He doesn’t have to live with you.

I agree that no one needs to go all out on holidays, but each to their own. Your child, your choice.

You get your kid the stuff you want. He’s not the person “in charge” because he’s the boyfriend. He’s not even the stepdad. He doesn’t have a right. We bought two Easter baskets, my daughter will get one from my grandma and from her nana. So she’s going to be spoiled too! I even bought an Easter bunny to go with. My fiancé picked one out and I picked out the other. She likes cars and they were split into boy/girls (if you don’t make your own) with paints. The one I got has candy, a flamingo light for her room and lots of other fun “girly things” and we got two different bags of Easter eggs already filled. Spent almost 100 bucks at least on her Easter. Keep in mind there’s Christmas and her birthday right after. We still spoil her because she’s my baby no matter how old- she’s 3. Won’t remember but she will remember that she never went without on a holiday.

If your boyfriend is this demanding after just moving in, I think you have a problem. He sounds controlling and possessive. Your son is YOUR responsibility. You are his protector and EVERYTHING to him. Get rid of the boyfriend!!! He will only get worse!! Next thing you know, you will only be ALLOWED to do as HE says.

Who’s paying for it? He can blow.your kids grow up so fast enjoy it!

Define what “going all out” means to you. It means different things to different people. Are you talking about spending $20-40 on an Easter basket or $200+ on a basket & gifts? Unless you’re cutting into your household budget and this will result in him having to cover your portion of the financial responsibilities, you’re new boyfriend doesn’t get a vote. He’s not been around long enough to be a vested stakeholder in your son’s future. With that said, “It’s not a 2nd Christmas” is an ironic statement to make. Christmas was the day Jesus was born and Easter was the day he resurrected. Sounds like someone’s lost sight of the actual meaning of those holidays.:person_shrugging:

Your boyfriend! He’s not the father he needs to stay out of it, your his Mother. Boyfriend :roll_eyes:

All I can say is fkn wow

You are mom… granted yes, it’s not a second Xmas…but ultimately you are the parent… He is not. You decide

I believe this should be your decision. Now if your using his money that may differ some but I don’t feel that he should make such a big deal unless your going crazy about it and it’s his money.

Everyone is different with Easter basket traditions, but I don’t see how he has a say?? It’s your kid, your fam tradition. You love doing it, and I’m sure your son loves the basket. Tell your bf to shut up😂

Its your child!! Tell your boyfriend to grow up

My ex was like this and I left when he told me I couldn’t go all out for my daughter on any holidays because “kids don’t need to be spoiled” when it was really to waste on his drinking habits and cigarettes and weed issue (I was the only one working let me mind you.) Never will let a man tell me what I can and can’t do for MY child. If he would get mad or argue bc you want to do things for your child then he isn’t mature enough to date someone with a kid. My bf now goes all out for my child with me. Best decision I ever made!

Sounds like he needs to move the hell out.

Um no. My husband said some crap once about what he had when he grew up and I said well me too… my kids will get more and more If can provide it and that’s that… he complains sometimes but he knows, I’m going to anyways. I make a big deal of every single holiday EVERY SINGLE ONE

YOU are his parent. Do what you want and if the boyfriend doesn’t like it, he can hit the rood.

It’s not his business what you do for your child. You took care of him as a single mother so I really don’t think a new boyfriend has the right to tell you what you can or can’t do for your son.

Your kid comes before your boyfriend so if you want to go all out for YOUR KID for Easter then do it. It’s not right that he moved in and trying to tell you what to do with your son. Boyfriend’s are replaceable but memories with your son aren’t and they’re only little for so long. So enjoy your Easter with your son and buy him whatever you want. Oh and he’s obviously jealous of your son and can’t handle being in a relationship with single mother. :rabbit:

I bought my kids new bikes and shoes and cheap easter baskets. I do this on my own. And if there ever is a man to come in to the picture. I will not let him decide what I do and don’t do for my children. And as a mother you shouldn’t even have to ask this question. Flat out tell him how it’s going to be and if he doesn’t like it to kick rocks.

Kick his ass to the curb! Dick isn’t more important than your child! Stop taking the bs from these wanna be and focus on your kids!

He can kindly fuck off.

I would be more letting him know what Easter was about. Your Child should also know we not able to have it all, sometime the money isn’t there. Or stand you stand. and do what you what. Maybe he boy friend has a reason and you should talk about it. But before he moved in . Know what and how your child was to be rise.:love_letter::love_letter::love_letter:This is said with love.

Yes its your decision. But if you’re using money for presents and gifts where you’re lacking in providing. Or going into debt. Then its not a smart move. Also. Spoiled kids turn into ungrateful kids in some cases. Just my 2 cents.

There’s a lot to unpack here:

  1. You’re the mom so you make the decisions
    1a. If you can’t agree on how to parent that is a major red flag for a relationship.
  2. If it’s your money it is your choice.
    2a. That is assuming you can afford it without causing any hardship on yourself or the household.
  3. He has no business “basically yelling” at anyone.
    3a. If he tries to control you over this it is likely to escalate.

Well Easter isn’t a second Christmas and depending on the situation you may be doing too much. If you celebrate it as a religious holiday then it probably shouldn’t be clouded by getting a bunch of gifts. If it’s solely for fun then whatever.
