Your child was there before him. He needs to except the fact that you did it before and will do it after him. Your child’s happiness comes before him.

Going all out meaning grocery won’t be in the cupboard next week, figure out what’s priority. But going out mean you spend money you know won’t affect you or ya child f him.

Ummmm your son, your house, your call. But the fact that he just moved in, and has an issue with this…not good.:woman_facepalming::woman_shrugging:

Your kid your decision. No man has the right to tell you how or what to do with your child. Make them memories.

I agree with Patsy Shelton……get rid of the bf. He will not be good for your son.

The definition of “all out” would really help add some context. Are you spending $1000 or $100? At $100 I might say that might be a bit much. If it’s $1000, I’d be questioning your financial responsibility.

get rid of the boyfriend, your son comes first. You will be his mama for the rest of your life. Boyfriend not much.

Young lady, you have your own place and a child to raise. I don’t know your personal business but your child comes first. I’m Leary of an outsider that might be gone tomorrow trying to tell me what to do with my child. I’m just saying that your boyfriend might be a problem down the road because there’s always going to be an issue when you spend “your money” on YOUR child. Another thing to think about, stop bringing them “boyfriends” around your children, most times it doesn’t make a happy home. Ijs

Kids getting a ton at Easter is a trigger but that’s me

Tell him its your child and you will raise him how you wish…this includes buying him what you want. If he cant accept that then he needs to move on. He’s only been around for a year…he has no right to tell you what to buy your son (unless it is him making all the money and paying all the Bills)

To put it nicely…forget him! Spoil that baby! Go all out for the basket, dye and hunt the eggs, and take the picture with the bunny! Don’t let him poop on your party! You only get a certain amount of holidays with your baby before they’re grown! Enjoy it and go all out! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

he’s your kid. not you and your boyfriends kid. do what you want. also leave his ass.

Your son is only small for so many years go all out if you want and if he doesn’t like it thier is something wrong with him rethink your relationship with him how is he going to be when your son gets bigger so you get your son a big Easter basket and if you can afford it go big on all the holidays Amen :pray:

Do not let a man uproot a system you already have in place. You and your child will resent him eventually. It will only get worse from here on out if you let him have final say

Do you. He is your son and you can raise him how you please if the bf doesn’t like it he can leave. You know what makes your son happy.

His opinion is irrelevant. That is your child. Not his. And if he’s acting like that when he just BARELY moved in, dare I say it probably won’t get any better… think long and hard mama. And spoil that kiddo while you’re at it.

Red flag. As long as you teach the true meaning of Easter I say go for it.

it depends on what is all out…I do a basket for my two with candy and that’s it. I know not everyone is religious but I feel Easter is to remember Christ not the Easter bunny. that’s just me though. but I do think some go over board but it’s your choice to do that.this is what I did this yr.

I don’t understand this unless you ASKED HIM TO PAY FOR IT. I am pretty sure you didn’t, so it isn’t his business. I would take this as a warning of things to come. Think carefully before you let someone into your home to DICTATE how things are going to happen with your children. Toss him!

If someone is bitching on Facebook they already know the truth and not brave or willing to do the right thing…….

First of all that your kids he has no saying what you do to your kids unless he states around for more than 2-3years a year don’t count if he just met your kids

Second I would consider that a red flag really need to look at the relationship

your son will always come first over any man and you need to tell your boyfriend that

I mean, I don’t know what his definition of “going all-out” would be…it definitely shouldn’t be treated like another Christmas or birthday kind of thing, but that’s also just my opinion. :woman_shrugging:t3: On the other hand, that really isn’t his business, and if he feels like he needs to bring it up with you for some reason, yelling at you and making you feel like shite isn’t okay either. I see a lot of helpful suggestions here on this thread, though…just read through them, give them some thought, and decide if this boyfriend really fits in with the values you’re aiming for as a parent, because that’s what comes first! :heart:

It’s not a LET first of all. You are grown. I would tell him to kick rocks real fast, that is controlling behavior!

Don’t forget to teach your son the true meaning of Easter in the process! I mean in reality it’s not Christmas, or about what everyone has made into these days (which is devastatingly sad). But do what makes you and your child happy. Especially if yall are still newly together, he really has no say so in the matter.

Speaking as a man if he don’t like it tell him to hit the street. Never let a man come between you and your child. You’re child will love you forever. Can’t say the same for anyone else. Treat your child as you have always done. They will remember it forever. Don’t ever let anyone else ruin that for them or you

I mean you should talk and discuss what he’s thinking considering you’re having this guy in your sons life you would have to find a way to communicate about these things you can’t just go screw off because that’s going to hurt your relationship.

Perhaps he has reasons for why he feels as he does. I am kinda on his side to an extent. Easter is not a second Christmas. Easter isn’t about receiving candy and iPads from a damn bunny that doesn’t exist. As a mom who has struggled and had good years I cannot really stand when parents go “all out” on children for holidays to an extreme. It’s uncalled for and in my mind makes children feel entitled and it takes one bad year for finances and you can’t provide what they are used to and it destroys the holiday.
Teach your son what Easter is all about make it about spending quality time together and do a modest basket. Nobody is saying you can’t buy a small toy or some candy. But if you’re trying to load him up with Jordan’s and all this overage then that’s just too much.

Overall your kid your money your choice. But at the end of the day if you and him cannot communicate and understand where he’s coming from then it won’t work out. You’re probably always giving your son “more” to overcompensate.

Unless he’s giving you an Easter basket with a ring inside - :shushing_face::shushing_face::shushing_face:

Break up with him. How is this even acceptable? Granted Easter is not meant to be a gift giving holiday so it could be sending the wrong message to him. Your bf’s tone is the issue here in the end. Unless it’s coming out of his pockets it shouldn’t be a problem. If he’s paying for it then he has a right not to spend his money like that.

Do what you want for your child. A good relationship would help you do it… Last year I went Easter shopping and spent more than I intended but the smiles on my kids faces was all I needed. My husband just laughed at me. You need a team player in life.

Do what you want for your child the end.

Screw him it’s YOUR child !!!
Take this as a HUGE RED FLAG !! This is the beginning of a control cycle that will not change … Get out or rather get him out of your & YOUR SONS lives !! *You decide what you want to do for your child for holidays not some dude that moved in a year or so ago …

My first thought is…f*ck him. But seriously, he really has no say so in what you do for your son. He sounds a little jealous and insecure or an a**hole. You do for your son what you want. They are only young for so long and then poof they are all grown up.

My boyfriend bought things for my daughters Easter basket before I did. I couldn’t imagine someone telling me I couldn’t do what I wanted for my child. Unless you are going crazy with things that the kid doesn’t need or you don’t have room for, then I don’t understand what his problem is.

Leave absolutely not

He just moved in? Sounds like he moved in with you and is not paying for anything??? If you are not asking him for anything to buy for your son then he has no right to say anything besides if your son’s dad is paying child support I don’t see why your child can’t be spoiled on holidays :expressionless:……. I don’t even know why you feel torn !!! If anyone would tell me :poop: for buying for my child I would for sure kick them out of my house !!! He has NO say whatsoever on what you do or buy for your son!!! WAKE UP before it’s too late, it seems like he already has his clutches around you if he even made you think twice or feel bad about what you do for your son :unamused: to me he sounds like a narcissistic leech :expressionless:

First of all it’s your son and you can do whatever the heck you want. If that’s what you’ve always done, go for it. I had dated someone that that who told me I did too much or the I wasn’t giving enough punishment. That guy is gone and my son is happy. And in the end that’s all that matters.
