Your son comes FIRST!!!
I sort of agree with him. You are setting up some major expectations he won’t have for a lot of his life. And Christmas and Easter are supposed to be religious holidays about Jesus of Nazareth, not commercial blowouts. Does BF have kids of his own & he can’t compete with your largesse? Are you expecting him to foot the bill for all the Easter goodies?
And what do you do to “go all out”? Are you buying a ton of chocolates? Hiding 100 eggs? Buying him a mini Lamborghini or expensive gaming system? Taking him to Disney World?
I’d say hide some eggs, give him a little basket with candy, take him to church and have a nice meal together is enough. Why is it important to you to spoil your little one, and why is it important to your BF that you don’t? What were Easters like for each of you as kids? Find out the whys and you’ll be able to make better, more informed decisions together.
Also, he’s 5. How long before he outgrows clothes, toys, games, etc.? How much chocolate at a time is healthy? It’s not worth spending money on things for a few months. Instead put your hard earned dollars towards longer-lasting things and experiences. Remember the most precious gift to anyone is time, attention and really listening.

First of all. It’s your kid. I go all out for my child and I’ll be damned if anyone is going to tell me otherwise. If we were married or if that was his kid and we didn’t have the funds to do so that’s different but if I’m the one paying all my bills and taking care of my child by myself then I do what I want for and with my child
Is what your doing taking funds away from anything important or affecting a agreement you have with him? If no, there isn’t a strong reason not to do what brings you joy just because he doesn’t agree.

Never let a man dictate what you do for your kid! Now I’m curious, how do you go all out? What all do you want to get him? Lol
As long as the bills are paid and you’re not struggling financially then there’s no reason for him to say anything

You get to do this for your child. Boyfriend is going to cause more issues in the future, if he has a problem with you doing this for your child.
Your child comes first
That is your kid don’t let him tell you what you should and shouldn’t do for him. I say go all out if you want to do that and have the finances for it
Read what you wrote mama! He yelled at you telling you that you’re doing to much for YOUR KID. He’s not your boss. Why would you want someone like him to be even involved with your child? He obviously has issues with you having a child. And it’s not his money to tell you what to do with it. Girl…red flags…RUN

Eh, as someone that agrees Easter is not a second Christmas I would still go a little overboard (not a lot) as long as financials were good. He shouldn’t have yelled but raising a kid together (and that’s exactly what y’all are doing even if not married) does mean y’all need to have talks on what each of you find acceptable/unacceptable. If the way y’all want to raise him Is far too different probably best to end that. If y’all can talk it out and compromise then great

Uhm, easy. You do what you want. If he’s already doing this and he just moved in, I’d be telling him to leave. Your child comes first and he needs to not only stay in his lane, but take an exit ramp. The audacity.

It’s your son he doesn’t get to decide what you do with your own son. I feel like that could be a boundary breach. Yes. Easter isn’t Christmas but showing your kid love isn’t a bad thing. My now seven year old begs me for another easter scavanger hunt I did when she wa four it was alot of fun and yes my husband and I did go over board but it was the memories that mattered.
I wouldn’t let my BF get in the way of my children’s happiness and what I want to do for them. Cus they are MY kids. My rules, My house, My Kids… don’t let anybody tell you different girl!! Esp a man that isn’t his father.

Make his gifts relevant and useful. I used to fill the plastic eggs with change to put in a piggy bank, books to read and part of a series, decorated holiday socks can be rolled up and fit in a larger egg, crayons, small to do tablet, chapstick and smaller candy’s.
Is he paying for it or something? Makes it sound like you’re using his money which you most likely aren’t, so why is he so buggin about it. Buy him (your BF) a Easter basket too maybe he will shut up lol
Sounds like your boyfriend should mind his own business

Your kid comes first not your boyfriend. What he needs to understand is that your son was in the picture first before him, he is with you knowing you have a son, you can do whatever you want for your son he has no say so right now until he puts a ring on it and marries you but even then. For goodness sakes it’s one kid and it’s not like you’re going all out every day. Tell him he can get over it and if he doesn’t tell him to leave!!!

Well depends how y’all relationship is. If the relationship is very serious and he’s husband to be, then he will have a word in what you do and everything, either you accept that or you be alone or be with your kids father. It is what it is.
If y’all financially struggling and your bf has real plans to own a house with you or something, and you’re spending too much on some holiday, then yes. He makes sense.
Ofc all these miserable alone will tell you to leave him.
You can still make your kid happy without doing all out. Kids are easy to make happy. I am sure one bag of chocolate and candies will do the job. You’all childish.
A prime example of the greedy, money driven world some still live in… Spend some quality time with your son and your boyfriend. Put the money for tat you’d spend on the useless crap, in a savings for your son…Easy… If the boyfriend is abusive, leave…
You do what you want for your son if he don’t like it he can hit the bricks!

I’d say go all out for your kid and if that man loves you and cares about you and your child then he’d let it be you only have every holiday once a year and before you know it your child will be grown do every little thing you can while they’re little all the memories do matter they grow so quickly. That man can come and go but your kids will be there for life always remember that
Kick him out , you can see what’s coming .

Yeah…don’t let a boyfriend tell you how to raise your child. He’s not his father and you’re not married to him. He has no say in what you do with YOUR kid. I go all out for holidays too and get my kids way too much for Easter and there is nothing wrong with that. Truthfully this is showing some red flags about how he would be as a stepdad. Your kid comes first.

Also if he is really that mad about you going extra for your son maybe tell him, that if that’s how he’s going to be then you two might need to rethink your relationship because this is how you are and what you do for your kid and no one is going to come in and change that. And he can be apart of that tradition and those special moments or he can he find the door.

You’re setting yourself up for an entitled child and a house full of junk. What Will you do if you have more children? Will you be able to do this for all of them? Or have a child who resents any future siblings because his loot disappeared? His birthday should be your focus for an incredible gift because that day celebrates him with lesser gifts but more experiences on other holidays. Is your boyfriend bossing you around? Perhaps he thinks that since he moved in you consider him a member of the family. You have to decide if spoiling your son is important to you and also if the man is important to you. He isn’t telling you to deny your child medical care.

Why is he upset? What’s the reason
I have to agree with others. Boyfriend, not husband. I go all out for Easter regardless of what my husband says. Eggs with candy in them, coloring books, cotton candy, stuffed animals, the works. He might have an opinion on it, but it’s just that, an opinion.

I’m sorry, just my opinion… But I am all for LESS STUFF. I tried going all out for my 3 babies as well, and noticed that a lot of the “stuff” (esp holiday themed) ended up on the floor or the bottom of their toybox (and eventually in the garbage.) I started buying only things they would actually need and/or use, less is MORE, and teaching a child esp that young to expect so much “stuff” on a holiday or any day might end up backfiring honey, js
