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

Your child your call. Why do you have to change your holiday routines. Why does he feel your child doesn’t deserve too feel special?

Umm… Do it. Just do it. It’s ur kid, Ma’am… Uh don’t have to do less cause someone else wants the bare minimum :wink:

Kick the boyfriend out for Easter.

YOUR CHILD! & you can spoil him whenever you please! The way I see it is they are only little once so make it special and magical for them…especially on Holidays
I see zero harm in spoiling kids on holidays…& like others have said if he is used to it in the previous years how do you think he’ll react if it is basically lesser than what he’s used to.
As a kid we only got a few small things and candy but parents couldn’t afford much more than that with 4 kids. My niece is an only child (age 8) & she is only really spoiled on Holidays but my sister & brother in law always make it memorable for her.

Don’t change because of him, that’s not fair to your kid. Yes you don’t NEED to spoil him every holiday, but if you like to and can afford it then why not? Your bf sounds controlling and if he has a problem with something you were doing BEFORE him, then you can continue doing it AFTER him

YOUR CHILD, your $$$, your home, do it YOUR WAY!!!

He moved in with you? He has no say how you do your holidays. And this is the only time that you’ll be able to that for your son! If your boyfriend don’t like it, he can get the f out.

Ultimately it’s your decision, it’s your child and it’s easy to say ignore BF/kick to kerb etc BUT playing devil’s advocate here, does your BF have a point?

Are you doing too much? How all out is all out in your eyes? Are you spending too much money and time on one day/occassion where you don’t have finances to do that or really the time? Is your kid actually going to understand/or appreciate it?

There’s nothing wrong with having a good time and making memories with your kids and I get spoiling kids on their birthday and Christmas and l love seeing their faces light up but just wondering if there’s a reason your BF has said that to you? :woman_shrugging:t2:

Kick that ass to the curb, NEXT

He YELLED at you, that’s inappropriate regardless if you’re doing too much or not, he yelled. He’s getting comfortable and starting to show his true colors. Don’t call him out on it, remain calm, take a step back and observe his behavior with other situations. This could possibly be a controlling relationship.

Get rid of the boyfriend and go all out for your child if you want to. The fact that he yelled at you for doing so is a HUGE red flag! How will he react when you do this for other holidays or his birthday? It’s YOUR child, not his! It sounds as though he may be a bit jealous.

First of all it’s your child. Don’t ever let any man thats not his father tell you what you can do for your child. 2nd of all he’s right. Easter isn’t a 2nd Christmas and it’s not about a bunch of gifts. But saying that I also think Easter is good time to stock my kids up with spring and summer outdoor stuff and toys. Toys I’m going to buy anyway. Bikes and stuff too. I go.all out fkr Easter when I can afford to. Less with the candy more on outside toys. Bottom line if you’re not depending on your bf to buy everything for Easter and you pay for it yourself then you do what you want. Tell him it’s your son your and its how you’ve always done it so you’re not changing it now. Maybe you can compromise in the future but not this year.

Unless the boyfriend is a husband and actively raising the child (support etc) the decision is yours and the child’s Bio father if he is involved

I always give my kids above and beyond my partner and many friends are against it but honestly spoil them !

Your kid, your choice. I have never understood all of the “Easter presents” though. It has gotten ridiculous (just my opinion) What happened to simple baskets with candy?! I see people post tons of pics like it’s Christmas morning.

First off did he yell at you or did he conversate about how much your spending on Easter and how much your getting for the child? I have to agree with him on Easter is not a second Christmas. What happened to the days when the Easter bunny just brought a basket for the kids of candy?

Your boyfriend is not your sons dad and doesn’t have a say in what you do with him.

Kick him to the curb. Always choose your child over everyone else. You do you. Go all out for your son if you want. Forget what he says or thinks. Red flags girl​:triangular_flag_on_post::triangular_flag_on_post::triangular_flag_on_post: definitely not a good guy.

This was Easter 2021 for my then 7&8yos! They are now 8&9yo girl and boy and it will be as big as usual :laughing: :rofl: it’s honestly none of his business unless you can’t afford what you’re spending! My wife loves to do the most as much as I do though :joy:

Spoil him also I go through it still my husband still doesn’t believe in going all out for holidays he says it’s just another day but when the day comes and he gets the presents he loves it

Is he coming at you just trying make a good point or just being a jerk?Makes one wonder how he acts on a daily with issues involving your baby, why would something like this be such a issue? Maybe you should evaluate y’all relationship. Personally I’d continue to do what I have done before .You only get one shot with your babies and don’t let anyone else come between.

Get rid of that no good piece of a boyfriend.

A boyfriend would support you not yell at you. Trust and believe you will not be happy with him.

A true man would want your son to be spoiled

I would say bye see ya later. No one deserves to be yelled at. Especially about something that isn’t a big of a deal.
It’s your life. Someone is out there who would treat you like a queen! Just need to find him.

What I see is that you aren’t even married and already having issues in reference to your child. Things WILL NOT get better, UNLESS you and him learn about each other FIRST, to learn things about each other like how he would react in situations like THIS, so you can decide if you want to even pursue a relationship. THEN, when you find a decent man that respects you, AND your son, THEN think of marriage.

Just speaking from experience. If only I could go back in time, I would be VERY SELECTIVE of the men I chose to date… I just didn’t know any better back then because of how I was raised… I am happily married now that I brought GOD into my life! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
