[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand. YOU want to do a totally optional egg hunt. Why does he have to do the shopping for it? This is your project, right?[/quote]

Maybe OP wants to do it for her kids. Maybe her kids really want to do it. I don't think it's fair for OP to expect her husband to care about this, but I do think it's fair to expect him to participate.

However, I did the entirety of our kids' Easter baskets this year from start to finish. I like doing, my husband doesn't care, and we have all girls, so I'm better able to come up with ideas. I could, of course, have said to him that I want him to participate, in which case he would have, but I didn't mind doing it alone. I can't tell if OP is asking for participation because she's busy and truly can't do it all (which I get, I work full-time and have time-consuming hobbies), or if she's just made on principle that he wouldn't do it. Those are two different problems.[/quote]

I don’t think it’s either.  I think that this something she wanted to do with her husband and the father of her children and not something she wanted to do alone.  Like if you ask someone to go to dinner with you, it isn’t because you are too busy to figure out how to eat.  
If OP had been asking her husband to have dinner with her for the last two weeks, this is the equivalent of coming home and throwing down a Hungry Man frozen meal. [/quote]

You are totally wrong. She wanted him to pick up the candy. She wanted him to get it done on his own. This was not pick-out-cute-candy date night or something.[/quote]
