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

Hmm, I think I read “my ex boyfriend left his stuff at my house, how long do I have to hold on to it?”
That’s not his kid. You’re not his wife. Red Flags everywhere in this game. Nopety nope nope.

The BF should have no say unless you expect him to pay. But you are really doing this for yourself, your child does not need all out, whatever that means.

Your child came before your boyfriend. You do what you feel you want to do for him

Show him the door! This situation will only get worse. Yes, it will be hard to let him go, but in the long run you and your son will be much happier.

How about making part of his gift not so materialistic. You could do a craft together, go to a petting zoo, etc.

Dump him and buy even more stuff for your kid.

My boyfriend never yelled at me about it. But he made comments until he realized I was doing the exact same for his own son as well. He still says Im doing to much but doesn’t make a big deal out of it.

Describe all out! Easter basket with candy and a few toys should be enough a wonderful meal with family is priceless! I never did more than that

Your kid your money don’t let this guy tell you how much you can spend on your kids unless he’s putting the tab and it don’t sound like it just do what you want with your kids and don’t worry about other people

It’s your child, your choice. But I just told my daughter the same thing. She spent a couple hundred dollars so far

Fill the basket full of whatever you want, and fill the trashcan full with that “man” :face_vomiting: Who does he think he is??

If it’s affecting your joint finances or your son’s behavior and expectations, then it’s an issue. Kids have become accustomed to going all out on everything, making most celebrations unnecessarily expensive. For example, when I was in high school, some people tried to do creative “promposals” but no one spent a lot of money on one.

Going all out all the time raises kids’ expectations unnecessarily. Have an egg hunt and put together a basket, but don’t make it a second Christmas.

Send the boyfriend hopping down the road.

Yep. Get rid of the boyfriend. It only gets worse.

Aai your child first, that will be a bad father, it’s okay not to have a man…or be in a relationship if they are as shitty as that…

I see both points. You don’t want a spoilt child cause what happens if you can’t afford it one yr & it’s not about what you can buy love affection time is all a child needs.
As for the bf talk about things have budgets for Christmas, birthdays etc because that will be the next issue no doubt.
No one really knows the situation you ain’t silly so if it bothers you so much give him the flick.

I’m sorry. Why does he have any say over your son? Why even allow that ? And if he is like this now, it’s going to get a ton worse for you as the relationship progresses.

It is your son, do what makes you happy! My hubby always said the same thing to me, about the holidays & birthdays and I said it is once a year and I’m going to spoil them all I want, he always got over it! I love buying gifts for others!

Get rid of the guy. You’re the mom and that’s your kid. Shouldn’t no man tell you what to do with your kid. Especially after only a year.

Going all out can cause a spkiled child. I know because i did it…i still get her lots of things. But i always try for less. But its by no means his choice or right to make decsions about your kid after a year together. Esp since he yelled at you.

Ignore the boyfriend, your child comes first,

It’s your kid not his. I understand sacrificing some stuff for the sake of building a family, but if you are financially able to do so, do it for YOUR kid.

Your kid comes first! Don’t stop doing something for your child just because someone who just moved in tells you different! He’s your kid! If he ain’t paying for it, what’s it to him?!

I spent probably over $200 on my 2 kid’s but that’s because I get quality stuff and not a bunch of junk! I’d rather put money into stuff like stuffies, clothing, books instead of filling their baskets with chocolate and candy. They do get that stuff but it’s a good amount, not overdone :woman_shrugging:t3:
My husband has gotten used to my sh*t over the years :rofl:

Throw the whole man in the trash.

Uhm. I personally don’t go overboard for Easter either, so he doesn’t really have to contribute if he doesn’t want to. But its your choice if you want to. Wow, People really jump to just get rid of someone if there is a disagreement. Phew. Scary times. I hope my spouse would keep me if I disagree with him…

My husband said the same thing but I want my kids to enjoy and have the wonderful memories. As they got older I have slowed down but my 7 year old I still do more for. They understand because their Easter’s I went all out for. Most time I get them summer toys. This year I bought a 14x48 pool. We’re moving she found it in the garage. My big plan was blown. In her basket I’m getting her swimsuit, sunglasses, floats, googles, diving sticks, beach towel, and little more things for pool. Last year Easter bunny brought stuff for the beach and Disney world because we went to Florida.

Your kid comes first and foremost before ANYONE

Dont choose a boyfriend over your son. It’s your kid your decision. The audacity of this “man” to yell at you when the kid isnt his is astounding

You’re really letting a dude come before your child? Shame on you for even considering not doing for your baby just cause some swinging dick disapproves.

Dump him and put ur son first

You do you and your kid ! It’s not his place to change you and your beliefs !! I don’t think it’s a good idea to overindulge children but Easter and Christmas are special occasions, and it’s your kid. And that’s your choice. If you don’t want drama get rid of a controlling man. Js

Whose money are you spending on “going all out”. If it is his, he has say in it.

tell him to kiss your a$$, it’s your son, your money, your choice

If you let him start controlling you,it will get a lot worse for you and your Son. Set him straight now.

If you normally go all out for Easter go all out for Easter it has NOTHING to do with your boyfriend. My ex husband used to say the same thing too bad it’s MY money & I’ll spend it how I please. I go to work to be able to spoil my kids. Pffftt the audacity of a boyfriend to tell me how i should spend my money let alone treat my children yuck.my current boyfriend HELPS me spoil these kids.

you and your kid have been in this routine for 5 years, your boyfriend has been in you life for one, your kids always come first, your boyfriend needs to fit into your already established routine. Never change how you treat your kids for a partner. It’s up to your partner to fit in with your lives, if he can’t do that then he’s not worth it. If you change for him then you are not prioritising your child who is wholly dependant on you. He needs to change, not you
