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

How you treat your son is not his business. Maybe he’s jealous. Buy him an Easter egg/ bunny. If that doesn’t sate him, show him the door. This isn’t going to get any better!

Going “All out” and spending money on children is trying to buy love and is giving children a false impression of what love really is in addition to raising another generation of spoiled children. Easter is a religious holiday turned into another opportunity for corporations to grab your money.
Want to spoil your child? Spoil them with time…spoil them with actual attention. Talk to them…take them places that will inspire them. People are so brainwashed with the I gotta out do everyone else to show my love is pure bullshit!
Now change my mind…

Easter is NOT a bunny!! Teach him what Easter really is all about

Sounds like he wants to control u, and it won’t stop there ,if he isnt paying for it why does he care ,do what u wanna do he’ll get over it or hit the road but u need to make it perfectly clear that he is ur son and u will do what u have always done , and if he can’t handle that then hit the door ,big flag popping up here so watch for more,

Dump him and find one you can marry.

I am 40 yrs old and my son is 12 and i will do an Easter egg hunt and get him, my niece and nephew Easter baskets until the day i die!!! What is wrong with having a little fun. Especially with everything going on in the world! Anything to bring a little happiness! It isnt hurtin anyone. Its a time to celebrate. With chocolate’s and candy. :hugs::raised_hands::blush:

So, are you asking if your boyfriend is more important than your son? Or if your life and traditions have value? Only you can answer that.

It’s your child you do what you want to do for him and if your boyfriend doesn’t support and understand that then maybe you need to discuss with him that it’s not his place to judge.

Do you have a job? None of his concern if it’s your money. Not something I would do but it’s your choice

Who is raising this child, you or the “boyfriend” This is absolutely NONE of his business! Boyfriends come and go, but your child should be there until he is grown and children are not stupid. If the “boyfriend” cared about your son, he would not want to interfere in your celebration concerning your child. You need to RUN!

Your kid is always more important. Screw him. Buy the gifts.

I think you know what you should do. Your son is 5 and every Easter you’ve gone out for him. Boyfriend just moved in and is already telling you what to do! If you let him tell you what to do now without talking it out, he’ll remain the same and you’ll be the one making all the sacrifices and you’ll have no say over what you can or can’t do for your son or with him. Show him the door xx

Why should he care? Go all out mom, these are precious years you never get back. He’s 5 and should enjoy his Easter. This guy sounds controlling I’d watch out for any man telling me what to do about anything.

Wowwww… I have 3 kids and 1 on the way (1 from a previous, 2step, and expecting in June!)… and we go all out for all the kids and split it equally!!! Thats a big red flag if he thinks you’re doing “too much” and isn’t treating your kid equally!!

But also how was holidays for him as a kid? Maybe he’s not used to having big holidays, so it’s weird to him… what we’re his traditions like as a kid??? Maybe you can show him what your traditions were and he can show his and you can combine them together?? :woman_shrugging:

It is one thing to celebrate a holiday, but Teach the kid what the holiday really is about. Easter is About our Lord Jesus Christ, not getting 50 lbs of candy, or getting presents…That is the problem today, No one teaches these kids correctly any more…They just spoiled brats…

Easter is about Jesus. Not candy.

Do what you want to do. He is your son.

Boy sounds like a tool.

Take a stand, your child is important right now. Beware meanness, it comes in all forms.

Do whatever you want! How are you going to change the relationship you have with your Son for him? You shouldn’t be torn! PERIOD’T! Thats just insane.

I say F*ck him. BF’s come and go. But your son is your son. You and your son are a family. The BF is an outsider who has been granted the privilege of being a part of that. His role is to fit in seamlessly with the status quo concerning how things are done in your family, not disrupt it. Do UP Easter big for your son and tell BF to sit tf down, or keep it movin, right back out the door he came in. Best of Luck, sis! :orange_heart:

Umm it may be time to give him the cut !!

He’s your boyfriend not husband or the child’s father so therefore he can voice his opinion but at the end of the day it’s your child and your choice what you decide is enough or to much! Although i can understand he might have concerns that if you are going over board it could be very expensive if you ever decide to have additional children as your son will continue to expect just as much or more every year and you’d be obligated to do the same for any additional children you do have. But most of us mom are guilty of going over board at some point because well we love seeing are child/children happy. With that its still your decision but remember you decided to invite this man into yours and your child’s life and if it’s a serious relationship than you should be able to take his opinion and concerns into consideration without being immature about it immediately saying well it’s my son ect … like for a example did you ask why he felt it was too much? If your honest with yourself are you going to far overboard? Was this stated because you can’t really afford all the extra stuff that you bought? Honestly no one could really immediately damn this guy and say oh leave him ect when I’m sure there is more to this story. Tbh :woman_shrugging:t2:

Bye bye baby my kids are more important!! This is just the beginning it will get worse. Red flag!!!

Boyfriend needs to go asap!

Do what you want to do with your son. Who is he to tell you other wise? Your house, your son, your life.

Do what you want he’s not the boss

When I was a teen both my brother and I had issues with my step dad. Our mom sat us down and said we were in the wrong and she is on his side… so even if he was in the right my brother and I took this as she has chosen her husband over us. This put so much strain on our relationship and we still do not have much of a relationship with our mom. So even though this is just a Easter Basket to your son it may not be and he may take it wrong that your choosing his side over him. Plus if its not your boyfriends $ he really doesnt have a say in the case. Plus this is something that was happening before he came into the family. As an adult he should respect the tradition even if he doesnt agree.

I’d say get rid of the boyfriend fast. When you are a mother of young children, your first responsibility is to your children. An important fact I hope you always remember. Guys like this are a dime a dozen and not fit to be around children if this is their attitude.

Um it’s ur kid. He can either shut up about what u want to do for ur kid or get tf out

Give him his things as his Easter basket and tell him to kick rocks. Your child will come before any man. Period.

Just tone it down a little?! Maybe?

Go all out for your kid. If you did it before you should continue. Honestly your son might start to resent him if he feels that his life is being changed dramatically with him in it. That’s something you do for your kid and he really shouldn’t have a say in it. That’s how I would handle it.

You do your thing. Whatever you want to do and can afford, for your son. They’re only this little for a short time, but all that you put into your son now, your time, these memories, he will grow and learn from. Boyfriend? Not so much. I’d tell him to get on board or take the day away while you concentrate on your son. And maybe rethink the whole thing.

Are you paying for it? Then tell your boyfriend to “read a book”.
In other words, (pee off).

“Easter” is a pagan holiday. Look it up, the pagan goddess “Esther”. Ēostre - Wikipedia

Nowhere in the Bible does it talk about bunnies representing the resurrection of Christ.
